The Tigers (my daughter’s daycare room, the 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year old kids, mascot is a Tiger) has been assigned Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Deck the Halls for the annual, center-wide, Holiday extravaganza. I am proud to announce that she has Rudolph down pat and 1/2 […]
We received our replacement archery set from Back to Basics Toys yesterday and, like the first, it too was in miserable condition.
