j and i participated in the city's holiday fiesta toy drive this year. j normally does a toy drive and this was my first time. it was fun! we went to target, which was having a pretty great sale, actually, and got all this for only $50. i bought the ball, obviously. less plastic and more gender neutral. altho, honestly, i think toy companies are making a little more effort these days to market to less gender specific demographics. tell you who doesn't care about that tho: target. within the toy section there is a very sharp deliniation between girls toys and boy toys. tho, i guess, really, the toy manufacturers do that also? tho, notice the toy cars do not have a phot of boy on there. i got the ball in the sports section, lol. i wanted something that would get kids outside and exercising more. j picked things he would have wanted to get, lol.
i definitely want to do this again next year :)
