Aaaaannd it’s Tuesday. When my baby boy confessed he was in love with all things Batman Lego, and insisted he pile himself on my lap while we look at ebay, I couldn’t help but notice that ebay is counting down the days to Christmas. 41 days, people. Forty-one. Days.
And to the creepy men who are too old to play with toys but jack up all the prices on Batman Legos on ebay – ugh. That’s all I have to say about you. Because of you, small children won’t get Batman Legos they want for Christmas because you overgrown boys insist on bidding up toy prices to hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Insanity. Dudes.
Have you all started Christmas shopping yet?
Can’t wait to see what you all have been shooting this week!
Ugh, I have bought one present. It is coming way too fast.
We are almost finished. I hate ebay. :/ I rarely go-but at Christmas, I won’t even consider it! Anyone got some gently used Bob the Builder toys?? lol
If we still had ours I would so pack them and send them! I think we donated ours about 2 or 3 Christmases ago. Isn’t it funny what the kids get their hearts set on?
We call ebay “flea-bay” here!
Forty one days? Thanksgiving is in NINE! I swear we just took down the Fourth of July streamers, where did the year go?
Christmas shopping? I still need to make it through Thanksgiving dinner!
Thanks for hosting, Darcy. I am enjoying this series. It gives me motivation to learn my camera. I see life a bit differently now.. does that make sense? I notice things ‘more better’, LOL.
Totally makes sense. I am constantly composing in my head – even involuntarily. Photography is a lifestyle!
Okay, I just know I did this wrong because I don’t have the tea cup on http thing. Still working on it
I know exactly what you mean! You know I just don’t get it maybe these men just don’t have enough to do. CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! Oh! my gosh!!!!!!!!!! I need more time!
LOL – I am so blessed. My grandkids also love LEGOs but they are primarily fixated on current items and are even happy with things I find on sale. I missed a great 1/2 price sale from Toys R Us a couple of weeks ago due to juggling too many of the Sandwich Generation issues, but hoping to spot another good sale soon.
By the way, for those who shop at Target – I spotted some adorable LEGO gift cards! A gift card with a little bag of tiny legos. I have some grandkids who are going to LOVE those!
Thanks for another fun and encouraging Sweet Shot Tuesday!
My 3 boys are Lego fanatics too! Do you know about Bricklink.com? It’s kind of like Ebay for Legos only. You can search for whole sets, or even tiny pieces. I don’t know if you’ll find anything with a better price than Ebay but it’s worth a look!
Chris – you may have just changed Christmas! I had no idea. How did I not know??? Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’ve opened up a whole new world of Lego-mania, didn’t I? That can be good and bad! Sorry about 2 comments – the first didn’t look like it went through!
My three boys are Lego fanatics, so I know what you mean when they get interested in sets that aren’t current.
Have you ever heard of Bricklink.com? It’s kind of like Ebay just for Legos. You can search for whole sets and even the tiniest pieces. I don’t know how the prices for Batman will compare to Ebay, but it’s worth a check!
I have one kid almost done, and the other is all planned out. this is the first year I was really on top of it. im proud of myself!
We’ve kinda started Christmas shopping. I know what I’m getting everyone, just haven’t gotten it yet. My husband bought his own already…
