First, we're going to Great Wolf Lodge (an indoor water park with MagiQuest) to celebrate! I got this unbelievable deal for a one night stay in the Kid Cabin Suite. I had signed up for their email specials and last month they sent me an email mentioning a 24 hour promotion (maybe it was a 48 hour promotion). All I know is I jumped on it immediately! I can't wait to see the faces on the birthday boy and girl, when they enter the room and find a built in log cabin with bunk beds, a cozy cot and their own television. My 20 month year old is going to be bumming that she still has to sleep in a pak n play. Shsh...It's a secret!
As for gifts. This year I had an easier time buying Madison gifts than Josh. Below are a few of the gifts that hopefully will keep them busy and not bored this summer.
This is one of my favorite offers going on with LEGO right now. I'm a huge superhero fan and love LEGO's. In fact, I mentioned to my kids that I'd like to have one of the Monster LEGO building sets for my birthday coming up this summer. You have to check out this deal and other's that LEGO is offering!
FREE, exclusive LEGO Jor-EL with purchases of $75 or more. Valid 6.1.03 - 6.25.13 or while supplies last
I absolutely love socks and kidssocks.com has so many crazy, fun stylish socks to choose from!

Camcorder for Madison and camera for Josh (a gift from their grandparents)
Okay, I helped my mom research both of the below products and found they were the best deal for the best rating for the best price; and they look to be the most durable for kids. We hope!
Kodak Zx1 HD Pocket Video Camera:
Record High Definition video (720p at 60 fps with 16:9 aspect ratio)
Canon - PowerShot A4000 IS 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Blue
Other fun gifts to keep them busy this summer!
Pokémon White Version 2 Nintendo ds game
Tapeffiti This stuff is cooler than cool. You can use it to make headbands, bracelets, scrapbooking, protect binders and more!
- Alex My Wooden Flower Press
- Garden birds 500 pc Puzzle
- Nerf Blue Football - I found this at Marshalls. Marshalls is such a great store to find cost effective gifts; especially, one year old toddler reading books.
My boys are obsessed with legos! I find that the older kids get the harder it is to buy things. By the time they are teens I just buy giftcards since then they can pick out something for themselves :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, funny that you mentioned gift cards. I've actually been toying with that idea for my twin son.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Mom's Monday Mingle Blog Hop. I'm a twin mommy too (except I have 2 sets). I hope the twins have a great birthday and enjoy all their gifts!
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal! Two sets of twins, how fun! I'm now following you too, and can't wait to share stories!
