HOKIES! I loved football when I was there for college, but I’m kind of glad no part of my happiness depends on their performance anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2854818 Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:27:49 +0000 irene 2854818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: Haha! DH is die-hard VT football fan, in fact we just went back to VT over the weekend to watch the (losing) game to Boston College! DS has been saying when he grows up he'd want to go to Alabama or Clemson because he wants to root for the team that actually wins lol. He is sick of his old man's school/team loses all the time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2854277 Thu, 01 Nov 2018 14:08:56 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2854277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: we do Santa but I think we are going to limit to one gift from us and one from Santa. Maybe a sandbox for the two older kids from us or maybe individual gifts. Too many and it honestly just gets overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2854274 Thu, 01 Nov 2018 13:54:39 +0000 JCCovi 2854274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Yes we both went to VT! We’re not sports people and I don’t think we talk about it much, but I definitely have a lot of T-shirt’s and somehow my 3 year old had picked up on that and always asks to wear Virginia Tech stuff. It’s super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2854200 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 23:05:35 +0000 irene 2854200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: You guys are from VT? DH graduated from VT. His, DS, and my wardrobe consists of a lot of VT things lol. And you have no idea how much I admire you to NOT do the Santa thing. Let me bow down to you.</p> <p>I am new to this want/need/wear/read thing- so want is what DS wants? Or what I want him to want? lol :silly: </p> <p>Assuming that this is a list for what we (or I) can contemplate getting him for Christmas? Not sure if I am doing this right:</p> <p>DS (6 yo):<br /> Want: He said LEGOs, the biggest set with the most pieces</p> <p>Need: Magically stop having over night accidents. Or suddenly know how to swim :silly: OK in reality I really don't know what else he'd need that he doesn't already have (he needs jeans, but that's listed under "wear")</p> <p>Wear: Jeans and long pants, and summer jammies</p> <p>Read: Really hoping to somehow introduce him to Harry Potter but he's not interested. Otherwise anything from "The Weird School" series is always a sure win. Or a knock knock joke book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2854197 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 21:49:49 +0000 imadreamer 2854197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: Which digital camera did you end up ordering?

My son was taking pictures of his toys.... like 15 of the same scene🤣. We bought a hybrid camera instead... you can print digital or print out sticker prints.

I mean, the megapixel is not that great but it takes pictures, videos and she likes the little games on there too. She loves taking it out and documenting the world "her way" and I love it! And it's pretty sturdy too she drops it and bangs it around a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2849514 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 16:23:30 +0000 crazydoglady 2849514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Was it this one? </p> [attach=8671/18/pg5a36.337x600.Screenshot_20181005-142301.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/want-need-wear-read#post-2849513 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 16:21:00 +0000 crazydoglady 2849513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: That's the one I was looking at!
