I detest Art Attack. But we do enjoy Mister Maker, Liebling does sometimes do some of those. OK, need to start buying things in boxes!
I'm a bit reticent to do Christmas things too much as Liebs will be doing those at school, and bringing them home: he has some stuff for his tree that he has made himself. DH is already getting annoyed that we'll have two trees up plus other decorations: don't think I can get snowflakes on the windows too! I can try...
No hands-on science museums but we like making things blow up at home, so Liebs doesn't miss out there. We do a lot of astronomy too, when the nights are clear. Sadly he's not that into the stories behind the names of the stars yet.
I'm also against play-doh and clay and the like: feels wrong, messy, feels wrong, gets into the carpet, feels wrong and people make me touch it and it just feels horrid and wrong. Clay is better than dough-based toys but can still be wrong on a bad day - and can upset my carpet too!
One is my tree, one is Liebling's tree. We both like Christmas trees and decorating them. We also like decorating them for a whole month as we have advent decorations for each day in Advent (starting with the first Sunday or the 1st of December, whichever means the tree is up for longest). DH does not like Christmas trees, he doesn't have one. Plus mine is MY gorgeous 6'6 tree with set decorations and is there to be looked at; Liebling's is a 4' tree with bright colours and his made decorations on. It is there to be enjoyed.
BTW, has anyone seen the Lego advent calendar? I want. Won't last 24 days though.
Love the lego advent calendars. We got one a few years back and have spread it out over a number of years with other bits and pieces for DD. She saw the email with the latest one though and it was an immediate 'I want that'.

Why are you having two trees? (Sorry, totally OT!)
