7.2.2009

now. today. this is THE catalog.
colin has not put it down since it arrived in the mail on saturday.
it has been on every errand this week - from the library to the dry cleaners.
it has been found at the pool. in a bed. in a bathroom.
it has been studied. memorized. slept on.
colin has picked out his christmas present from us 12 different times.
it changes daily.
we are updated the first thing every morning.
we have promised to pay the sales tax and shipping costs.
we remind colin that christmas is months away.
we still have last years.
this by far is the best catalog in our home.
the pages are slowly ripping from all the overuse.
i will restaple and retape these pages many times over the next couple months.
in these pages live indian jones & star wars & sponge bob.
we travel from city to space to farm land to speedways.
we love the award winners and hard to find ones.
we are secret agents and space policemen.
it will not get lost - like homework or library books.
it will not get misplaced - like pool toys or shoes.
it will not get thrown away - like cereal box toys or birthday party favors.
it is the
lego catalog!
better than any magazine around.
i'm thinking of ordering another one - just in case.
now. today. the life & adventures of a seven year old.
