"Each day, Fisher-Price® will have a ingratiate oneself with area filled with its coolest new toys, which are perfect for children 6 months to 6 years old! Return, a Power Wheels® driving track featuring the new Power Wheels A.T.REX™, Ford® F-150 vehicles and Barbie™ Ford Mustangs for youthful cruisers to take for a whirl.

Sounds like fun to me! I wish if you go that the crowds aren't too terrible! Click here for the details.

The Fisher Price catalogue arrived in the letters this afternoon.  The kids were both sleeping so I browsed it, ever on the lookout to see if one of Wil or McKinley’s photo shoots was chosen.  Again, no such good break.

Here’s one of the toys Wil did a photoshoot for about 5 months ago.  Yeah, one of his shots should have been tolerant of.  But I’m biased.

Wil had another shoot this week.  Melodia took him.  Wil’s at a keen age now to do these well.  Melodia said he was great.  But there was a problem.  It was a alter ego shoot.  Wil’s first.  And the other little boy, apparently he wasn’t so commodities at it.  Ugh!  It was for a power wheels toy.  Seriously, why didn’t they use brother and sister?  McKinley and Wil together would have done it horrifying.  As it is, our kid’s shoot ends up in the tank because some other kid can’t pull his moment!  Do I sound like one of those crazy modeling parents yet?

We should work to try to get our kids in the modeling perimeter.  Maybe they could pay our way! LOL.  But, we likely won’t.  We do the Fisher Price thing because it’s here; and it works into our existence.

So… the catalogue.  I laid down for a cat-nap, and was later awoken by Wil and McKinley as they walked in proudly with the catalogue to show me which toys they wanted.  Got to turtle-dove these little toy shoppers.
