Christmas wish

Thing Two: Know what I want for Christmas? A Lego Ninja set with a white ninja, black ninja, red ninja and blue ninja. And some Oompa-Loompas. And a Lego table with some Lego apples. Santa's house elves would probably have to make that, right? Because they don't make that set.

My Christmas present

The boys shopped with Dapper Dad to get a Christmas gift for me. After they bought it, Thing One dropped several hints over several days about what it would be. Can you guess from the hints?

1) "We got it at the store we went to after Best Buy and before Cuuuuuulvers.
2) "I don't know what that store was, but they had lots of Christmas decorations."
3) "The guys are squirting water at each other in the face."
4) "You will really love it."
5) "I'm not supposed to tell you what it is."
6) "You have to wait until Christmas to open it. Then you'll know what it is."
7) "It's an ornament."
8) "Don't tell Daddy I told you what it is."
9) "There are guys fighting on your present."
10) "You will REALLY LOVE it."

Can you guess? After opening it up, Dapper Dad said that the boys saw this gift and knew it was the one for me. There was no talking them out of it. They knew I'd love it. What is it?

Christmas list

I asked Thing One if there was anything he wanted for Christmas (we had to know for a family drawing). After a few seconds of careful consideration,
Thing One: A laundry basket. Paper.
Me: Paper? Like, to color on?
Thing One: Yes. A little toyhouse.
Me: Like in Goodnight, Moon?
Thing One: Yes. And a new coffee cup. For you!

Newspaper

While wrapping a gift in newspaper,
Thing One: Is this Daddy's newspaper?
Me: Yes.
Thing One: Is he done working on it?
