So I'm wandering around FreeStuffTimes the other day and come across this classified that says I can get an opportunity to try out free kids toys for kids from newborn to 12 years old. I thought, since I have twin 3 year-old daughters and an 11 year-old step-son, this would be something worth checking out.
So I follow the link and sign-up, then get forwarded to the home page. I'm instantly impressed, everything is broken down into gender and age categories. Obviously, with 2 little girls I was most interested in seeing what they might be offering in that vein of things. I found that I was pleasently surprised with the fact that not only are there plenty of toys that a "girly" girl would love to play with, but also thing which a baby boy might like too. As a father, it can get aggravating to constantly be relegated to picking between pink or purple.
This website has it all from books and games, to dolls and building blocks, and there are plenty of educational toys there too. In fact, the only problem the site might have going for it so far as I can see is that there are too many places to link to the age and gender group breakdowns.
At any rate, I think it worth any parent who's got a few years before "teendom" hits to go and check it out.
I live in a small MN suburb, it's almost rural, everything around it is, but it's not quite a one horse town. Every other one around the east west and south is, but then you look north and there it is...the Twin Cities...and you bask in the pollution.

Whew...too long!!
Wow, I don't know what happened here. I've been so sidetracked by life that I forgot to blog. Is that a blessing or what.
Well, let's see, my birthday kicked ass all the way through. We found out the next week that we're having twins!! Blessing!!! I went up to the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness with 6 other guys over Memorial Day weekend, and while I know my wife missed me, I also know she's glad that I had a good time. Blessing!! A friend of mine who went with, him and I got to do some witnessing for Christ and we even watched one in our group surrender his heart to Christ.
My dad and I really connected on this trip somewhere around the way too. I don't really know how, or why, but we really did connect. It was just cool since we've always had more of an understood type of relationship than a displayed one, but he gave me a big ol' hug in front of all 4 of those other guys and he didn't even blush, and there's the coolest part, he gave me a hug, usually goes the other way.
Well, life is grand, this is probably full of typos and yadda yadda, but oh well, today I don't care, and neither should you, go find whatever's waiting on ya!
