DS1 is 7 and really loves science. He asked for "science stuff" for Christmas. I've pretty much finished my shopping for him.

* Letters of name in science-theme. Ordered from Etsy--She did a great job!

DD will be 6y9mo at Christmas.

So far, we've gotten her:

(1) My Little Pony "Power Ponies" (because the dual figure packs were on CLEARANCE at Target over the summer, so we did not pay $50; I think all of the figures came to less than $25):

(2) LEGO Star Wars GHOST "MicroFighter" w/Hera Syndulla MiniFigure

(3) Fully Illustrated Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (ordered from Barnes & Noble dot com, used a membership 10% discount PLUS an additional 20% coupon, bringing the price to $20 shipped ... which beat Amazon by $5 before tax)

She's asking Santa for:

* "Yeti In My Spaghetti" game

* Dash the Robot

* The Princess in Black Takes a Vacation

I would also like to get her some new pajamas because she's outgrowing a lot of her medium-weight ones.
