Well. That's that. The school year is not officially over until the 23rd, but tonight i completed the last major task of my presidency this year. I am now free as a bird. Until! Summer vacation next week and the calls of "I'm bored. What are we doing today!"
Friday is the third installment of a month of birthdays with toby's 7th. What do you buy for a 7 year old boy who wants "lots of toys?"
Good luck with that. My eight year old said the same thing on his birthday.
I bought him a kick ass set of lego. (Quantity in pieces.)
He plays with them and I curse and swear when I step on one, vacuum one or the puppy decides to chew on one...
You buy season passes to the Zoo or other kid friendly place in your area - so that you can address the bored part along with the birthday present being special!
(other siblings if older have to earn their pass through chores - worked wonderful at my house - many moons ago!)
Uh...I'm trying to remember back that far. I think mine were really into Playmobile sets and Legos. You get one big set and then wrap up a bunch of smaller/less expensive accessories to go with it.

You go someplace cheap and buy a lot of toys.
