Toys

Having my third son, Scott, he gets a lot of hand me downs. He has Dylan’s and Logan’s old toys and clothes that we haven’t really bought him many things that are new or really just aimed for him. When Easter came we got him a couple of new things which he loved and when his birthday came around we told everyone to just add to his college fund, but of course some people wanted to get him actual things. He didn’t need anything but with everyone insisting I found some wooden toys I thought he might like from the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Target Collaboration. I am happy to say he loves these toys! Him and Logan play every day in the basement and it is the cutest to watch them play together! Logan can get bossy but Scott being so mellow he doesn’t really pay attention to Logan so even though they don’t necessarily play together, they do tolerate each other and play well beside one another. Logan loves playing in the kitchen and has a restaurant set up and even uses his cash register he got for Christmas to ring up all of my orders. Scott is the head waiter but he loves playing with the cupcakes the most so he just brings me each piece one by one, then takes them back and stacks them up. I especially love these wooden toys because they don’t break or chip easily and when Scott does take a bite out of one it doesn’t really get messed up and you can tell they are great quality. I always say I want to save everything for my grandkids and these wooden toys and the Fischer Price Little People stuff will definitely be stored nicely for when that time comes.

This is what Scott got for Easter. He is still obsessed with the R2D2 and he loves laying on it when we are all in the living room. The cute bus and animals are another favorite and he loves taking the animals out and putting them right back in.
I am obsessed with these cupcakes! They are so much fun to play with and both kids love playing with these.
One of Scott’s favorites to bite on, I love that these also are stackable and you can create your own cone. Logan loves these because his favorite popsicle is the firecracker one and this set happens to have a wooden version of it.
I have had lots of lemonade drinks made with this and enjoy the cuteness of this one!
Both boys love trying to cut this fruit and cook with it. I am always surprised Scott can just watch Logan and copies him and learns so quickly what to do thanks to him.
This shaving set is so cute and Logan gets more use out of this pretending to shave Scott, but I can see lots of use out of this from both boys.
Our little checkout table in the basement filled with most of the toys as last minute buys just like in a real store lololol
I love our kitchen and I can say we all play with it. I love that the burners actually work so we can cook and this provides so much pretend play. You can see Logan’s personality in the skeleton dog underneath the kitchen meant for a dog. Logan loves bones and skeletons and even though we have lots of dog stuffed animals the skeleton dog gets the main position. Logan and Scott clean up very well and Logan always makes sure everything is back in its place when we are done playing.
We have a lot of play food but for some reason they only like certain things in the fridge and the rest gets thrown in the bucket next to the kitchen lol

I remember growing up and never having anything new. I think once I got an actual Barbie doll but my brother blamed me for breaking his CP3O toy that my other brother broke and I got the blame and he broke her in half. I can still remember my parents trying to talk reason to him and he just wouldn’t listen and even though he had tons of Star Wars toys he decided that CP3O was his favorite and then boom just broke Barbie in half. I cried for weeks and never got another Barbie until I was a teenager and too old to play with them. Thanks to Dylan and Logan, Scott is set for life on just about everything, but it is nice getting him something new from time to time and seeing him start to play and use his imagination.
