Okay. It’s a week and a half till Aaron’s birthday, and two and a half weeks till the party. So far, we’ve got some of the Philly Dopers, me, Airman, Zappo, and of course, Aaron. Anyone else interested in cookout, birthday cake, and ice cream? Robin ---

It’s sorta set for 3 p.m. The cake has been ordered. It’s a chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting. The design is Marvin the Martian. Robin ---

Cool. We should be there around 2, in case there’s anything we can help with. By the way, any gift ideas you can pass along to us? ---

Also, toys that make repetitive noises or involve 15 bazillion pieces will put the giver on Mommy’s Short List of People Who Will Burn In Hell[sup]TM[/sup]. 😉 Robin ---

_nods_ Understood. If I know Rich, he’ll probably be all for picking up some books for him. No noises, learning possibilities… all for the better. 🙂 Clothes, though… that may be what I’ll head for. 😃 ---

Aaron has two stuffed toys that play short songs when you press some part of them. Aaron loves them. They drive me insane. Need I say more? As for the 15 bazillion pieces, there are toys that are rendered useless of one of those pieces disappears. It’s just easier to keep toys to one or two pieces. Robin ---

Robin, is it too late for me to sign up to attend? I missed this thread when it started and some people have recently asked me if I was going. Someone will have to send me some info as I have no idea where this is. I’ll bring a gift, promise. Maybe something like a 5,000 piece puzzle. I know how much kids love to chew on puzzle pieces. 🙂 ---

You should all spend the night at Zappo’s, and then drive down here with him the next day to help us move. ---

Happy belated birthday, Aaron! (The commuting back and forth between Baltimore and Jersey has been a little insane, and **tdc** and I never know where we’re going to be in a given weekend. Sorry we missed out!) ---
