Rollin' on Dubbs...DW's list

This is Lindsay posting for Dan..

Dan is all into our wood-burning stove, so anything stove-ish would be well-appreciated. He would like some poking tools, a wood carrier like this one:




He also wants a Pneumatic Reciprocating Saw. Yes, I know he got a Reciprocating Saw last year. THIS ONE is for smaller, finer-detail projects. I can't find one for under $50, so a Sears gift cerFitaGit would work.

He always likes to get iTunes gift cards.

He could use a new pair of shoes. He likes these Keens:

Also not in the $50 limit, so a gift certificate to J. L. Coombs or Lamey Wellehan would be great.
He's size 11.5.

One thing I know he'd love is a mix CD of new music.

Another idea is a Netflix subscription... The 8.99 plan for 5 months is $44.95.

Obi and Lolly Wish List

Question: Are the Hartevelds tired? I ran downstairs when the kids were getting ready for school this week and came back to find this on the floor of the bathroom!


Okay - so things the kids are into right now:

Ben
Art - he really wants a huge art kit.
Star Wars - you can't go wrong with a star wars action figures -- especially a jedi or droid. He doesn't have very many...he has yoda, obiwan...I think that might be it. Lean towards Clone War Toys.
Lego also has lots of cool Star Wars toys that he digs.

Charlotte
Is into most things with wheels.
Emergency vehicles always get high marks -- she has plenty of fire trucks though!
She is into pretend play - playing kitchen, playing school, etc...
She was really into a set at Target that was a pretend phone and flash light.

Stuff i should have:

brooks brother shirts (neck is a 17 1/2 to 18 and arm is a 36)
dress socks
the new T.I. cd
some visa gift cards (i want to buy an expensive watch! as in more than $50)
if you want to spend $400 on me than i want a watch!
Bass gift card (i need dress shoes)
pretty much if you got me a gift card to any kind of store that sells mens dress clothes that would be great or you could be brave and acutally buy me some clothes that you thought i might like!

i think thats about it, i'm not really good at this kind of thing mostly because i never really want anything and the stuff i need i just get but since its xmas i havent bought any new work clothes.

and as the birds of figarow travel many hills and ponds i sit and wonder of the days that have pushed threw the great adventure of life. my eyes and mind take in what people throw out and with that i flow through what people call the world! for i am a butterfly of the wind and you are a flower that i will sit on!

Dad/George/G/Jorge

World peace in only those area's of the world with conflict, the others are on their own, and toys for all the children of the the world who don't have any, the other selfish brats who refuse to share are on there own.

A) Socks
B) Indoor/outdoor remote thermometer
C) Gloves - black fleece - for jumbo hands
D) Aways enjoy the restaurant gift certificate

Vi's wishlist

As with her young yet wise cousin Addie, Vi doesn't really *want* anything, but if you insist, here you go:

1) Warm socks to fit size 7 (gasp) feet
2) Plain wooden building blocks
3) Books, books, books. We don't have ANY Dr. Seuss yet,and we LOVE Sandra Boynton. Also needed to fill out her library: Robert McCloskey (is that right? Make Way for Duckings, etc?). Grammy should buy her the Babar collection. Ha!Seriously, any books are great.
4) Membership to the Children's Museum of Maine.
5) Table-top easel.
6) Table & chairs - her size.


She's not all that *into* plastic toys. Plus, her mother is still trying to be a wise old hippy...so that means simple, selective, and safe. Also, her father hates clutter, and we have a small house, so it doesn't take much to fill up our living room. If you're dying to get her a toy, brands we like are Haba, Melissa & Doug, Plan Toys...along those lines.

If you're dying to buy her clothes, she's currently in 18 months...I should say she's currently OUTGROWING her 18 months wardrobe.

Her #1 most-wanted item is.....a box of hand-me-downs from her super-stylish cousin, Lolly!!! Noelle, you could bring up a box of clothes, and everyone could pick out an outfit to give to Vi!

Everything else would be gravy.

nightlight for her room

Lindsay's list

Besides world peace and toys for all the children in the world (HA! George, I beat you to it!!), I would like, in no particular order:

1) Nice socks to wear to work - warm-ish, cute-ish, fun-ish, but not wild.
2) CLOTHES. I need new clothes, desperately. Size 10.
3) Board games - your favorite. We only own Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and SMOG: The Air Pollution Game. Seriously.
4) Slippers
5) Gift certificate to Nine Stones
6) Ice cream maker
7) Membership to Children's Museum of Maine
8) Gift certificate to get my remote car starter installed

That's all I can think of...I'll try to post a list for Vi, too.
