Just Don't Drop Them!

I have a small collection of Barbie dolls that I acquired before I had children. Back then, I always imagined that one day I would walk into my room and find that my daughters had torn open all the boxes. Scarlett O'Hara would be wearing the leopard fur hat from Winter in Montreal while Scully and Mulder interrogate the lovely Mademoiselle Isabelle.

But then I had children. BOY children. My Barbie dolls were safe.

My collection of 1:64 scale diecast Elliott Sadler cars, on the other hand, were not.



Oh, well. Can't win 'em all.

    Christmas is coming up so just in case your husband is reading this - I saw the 50th anniversary Barbie at Walmart the other day, on clearance at $40.

    I have a boy who is intrigued by them and then announces to us that he is going to play with his "action figures" instead.

    LOL too funny. Sometimes I curse all the cars lying around that I constantly step on. But to be truthful I would rather play with cars then dolls so its all good

    My husband and I are convinced that we will never have anything nice again - that is until they leave for college...

    Love that picture with their hands all over them...
