My kids want no toys for Christmas.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

My mom has been PECKPECKPECKBITCHBITCHBITCHing at me about how I NED IDEAS 4 BTH 4 XMAS, and I was all, "um, get in line, lady".

MIL and I cornered K and asked her, and she could come up with NOTHING.

So we're going to re-do their room instead. Loft bed for K, new dressers, new furniture and decorations, art work, the works. But I CAN'T EVEN GET ANY GOOD IDEAS out of them. I told them to come up with the most fantastical things they could think of for their dream room, and they wouldn't get them all, but this is CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE, so let's hear some DREAMS!!!

K: 'Er, a light?'
O: 'What? What kind?'
K: 'Like, um, for my desk? That, like, um, moves the neck?'
C: 'A black one!'
O: 'A black what?'
C: 'A black fing!!'

I have come up with this entire list by myself. And it's going to be pretty awesome. Stupid lame-o kids.

My mom is probably going to lose her mind. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T BUY THEM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF CRAP? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY JUST WANT CURTAIN RODS?

It's September. Wait until the toy catalogs arrive and commercials hit the kids channels. They'll come up with ideas.

That's what I thought last year!  And NOTHING HAPPENED.  We had to practically talk them into shit then!

They are SUPER EXCITED about getting an all-new super fun room, though, so I think they'll go with it.

They are SO SO SOOOOO YOUR CHILDREN!!!!

 I am NikkiKleining it and not ashamed.  

Although I am deflated by my misfit kids.  WHERE ARE THE PONY TWISTY SLIDES, GIRLS???  THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN, 'DESK ACCESSORIES'

My husband bought Logan's Christmas present about three months ago. Somehow he is going to lead him to ask exactly for that for Christmas.

Huh! Sounds like a good plan then.

I wish this was my problem. J wants all Star Wars and Lego Movie Legos sets and M wants ALL THE THINGS.

Jebus is mad you're not buying crappy toys for your kiddos.

I hope you're happy!

Perhaps they could use a nice ratchet set?

Are they old enough they could look on Pinterest or Houzz for ideas?

I am going to pull some stuff up on the TV (we have it hooked to a computer) for them to look at and get ideas.

I'm hearing, "mom, put all the money you would spend on us into a nice college fund, thanks!"

Your kids are weird.

We do the same thing.  Our 13 year old uses the computer that's hooked up to the tv in the living room.  Easy way to keep an eye on what he's doing.

It's okay. Baby Jesus didn't even get toys on his birthday.

I would love it if my girls made a list of practical things.

My kids, particularly Keira, come up with the most random ass wish lists.

She wants a boomerang for her birthday. Nothing else, just a boomerang.

Did you ever get her the machete and ice cooler?

Of course! That was her 6th birthday. The zombie poodle party.
