Good morning everyone!

Well it's bright and sunny here in Richmond but I haven't seen the temperature yet so for all I know it could be 30 degrees. :rolleyes: Will spring every officially get here?

So, what is everyone's plans for Easter? Anyone traveling? My plans are to sleep. (So what else is new, huh? ;) ) Maybe go out to dinner with Matt and my Mom - I'll have to see how I'm holding up at that point - this latest flare has been a pretty painful one.

So, on to today's question. I came up with this one after looking at the ToysRUs Sunday sales ad.

"What toy from your childhood do you wish you had right now to play with?"
 
The original My Little Pony and of course the castle to go with it.
 
I voted for the Easy Bake oven. I always wanted one. I could make something teeny tiny and sweet for breakfast! Great for controlling your portion size! :p :D

Easter dinner at our place on Sunday. :) I'm going to use the adult oven! :D
 

We had fun sledding in our neighborhood. Take off in the morning and Mom wouldn't see us all day. Come home soaken wet and with a mild case of frost bite. Aah those were the days. I won't sled now because I'm afraid I'll hurt myself!

Barbi was second choice!
 
I voted for Lincoln logs, but I could have voted for Legos and playdoh too! Heck, I could have voted for ALL of them!:jester:
 
I voted "other" for Tinker Toys. That's those wooden things that came before Leggos.
 
I LOVED my Easy Bake Oven. I can't wait until my daughter is old enough for me to buy her one. It's going to be so much fun :Pinkbounc
 
LOL...that's a hard one.
We still have Legos, GIJoes (but the small ones, which I like better ;) , Barbies and Yoyos at our house ....and the kids are grown and gone :teeth:

I can make real dough and have a real oven.....and I use both quite often.
We have a potato gun...much better than a cap gun ;)
DH has a wood shop...so no Lincoln Logs needed.

Guess I have all the toys I need :teeth:
 
The game operation, though you can still get it and now they have a version that is just the head.
 
I voted other, my rotten kids actually have everything listed except the big wheel and they don't play with hardly any of it. I remember a "fun fountain" when I was little that hooked up to the hose and the hat shot up in the air. I also loved, loved, loved my stuffed Snoopy that you could buy different outfits for.
 
Barbies!! I had more Barbies than anyone I knew. I also had a lot of clothes, houses, cars, etc. I still have a lot of my barbies in the basement somewhere, but my mom threw out some of the houses and cars. :(
 
I voted playdough. I remember my mom wouldn't let me bring it out all the time, only every now and then which made it even more special. I still love that smell and still like to squish it between my fingers!:p
 
I voted Lincoln Logs. I actually got a set of Wilderness Lodge Lincoln Logs from DH for Christmas 2 years ago!
 
Ok, I posted "other". I remember that I had more fun dressing my kitty in all the doll baby clothes and playing with her. Granted she was not a toy, but I guess she didn't mind because she always put up with me.:)
