Green Toys

Thinking about getting your kid a new toy this Christmas?  Upset that “all toys are made in China now?”  Well, it’s no longer the case.  Check out Green Toys.  We bought our Son a dump truck from them.  It is made in California, USA of recycled plastic.  Not only that, it is recycleABLE, so if he breaks it, it can be melted down and made anew.  On top of that it is more rugged than almost any other current toy truck I’ve seen, including Tonka Trucks!

Green Toys has all sorts of toys like trucks, planes, submarines, block and more.  We bought ours locally at the Reny’s in Farmington but they can be purchased online as well through places like Amazon.com.

Still not sure

Why do they call the tiny candy bars “Fun Size”?  I just don’t get it.  It’s no more fun eating them than a larger candy bar.  In fact, it is frequently less fun and more wasteful.  To get my fill of candy requires more time unwrapping and a larger pile of wrappers to throw out.  It just seems more efficient and sensical to buy the regular size candy bar and be done with it.

That said, I do like discount Halloween candy, which is where this stemmed from.

Happy Birthday, Vaughn!

My son turned 1 year old today!  As we speak, he’s attempting to walk.  Right now he can only get a few steps without falling, but he’s learning very quickly.

We’re back!

What a long drive from Norridgewock, ME to Greece, NY – took us 14 hours due to periodic stops to feed and change Vaughn.  The trip home was better since we split it into two legs and stayed overnight at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Vermont.  Overall it was a great trip, but I sure am glad to be home.  I love Maine.
