@cak We have all the big Nerf guns too, and have battles around the house and yard. Those things are so much fun!
If I was a little kid, I’d probably want the same kinds of things I wanted as a little kid way back in the 80’s. A bike, but not a girls’ bike. A boys’ dirt bike. A microscope, only now I’d want one that would connect to the computer or to a digital camera! Probably some Wii games, one of those Razor scooters or whatever they’re called.
And a pony. I never got my damn pony either!
As an older kid, I’d totally want an iPod, a cell phone, a digital camera, a Nintendo DSi, a Flip video camera. Hey, those are all the things my daughter wants! She might even get one of them! :)
@kenmc My kids all asked for Legos, especially the youngest. His main present this year is that huge walker thing (in Lego) from Star Wars. You know, the one Luke blows up at the beginning of Empire Strike’s Back. He’s also getting Bubble Fat’s Boba Fett’s ship, which he’s been asking for almost his whole life (he’s five). I know he’s getting other Legos, and my other two kids are also getting multiple Lego sets. I told my husband he needs to take several days off work to help assemble these things! My daughter’s main wish is to get the Lego Hogwarts castle, but when I went to try to get it today it was out of stock everywhere. Even online! Almost all of the Harry Potter Legos are either out of stock or drastically overpriced. I’m so bummed. She’s probably going to get her 2nd choice of a DSi and have to wait until her birthday for the Legos.
