Only a few problems, the child I was buying for was a boy so I could not buy these for him. I don't think he would have appreciated them. And my kids don't seem to like the Smurfs so they probably wouldn't like these. But I still wanted to buy them. Why? Because they made me feel like a giddy 8 year old, who would have been thrilled with them. I still need to dig my Smurfette doll out of my parent's attic...I wonder if I can get the twins to like the smurfs? Then we could have a smurf birthday party complete with presents like these.
And then there are the Scooby Doo figures and Mystery Machine I keep seeing at TRU that need to live at our house. Hmm, wonder who I could get to play with those at my house?
Repeat after me: The toys are not for me. The toys are not for me. The toys are not for me...
OK, now to go find the Smurf DVD and play it for Ruby and Eliza Claire. Doesn't hurt to try, right?

PS. I'm sure the other shoppers in Target thought I was a complete goof ball taking pictures of all the Smurf merchandise and then putting it back on the shelf. OK, so maybe I am a goof ball but a blog post is always more entertaining with pictures. Ah, the things I do for the blog...
Jennifer, cartoon network has a channel for us. Boomerang. http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/boomerang/
ReplyDeleteWe have it now on our new AT&T Uverse system. They have Smurf, Scooby do, Jetson, Flintstones..lots of oldies, but goodies.
Christian hasn't taken to the Smurfs like I did as a kid, but he LOVES Scooby.
The boys and I have been watching some Scooby-Doo dvds from the library. We're all loving them! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw a Monchichi in a store recently and remembered loving those little monkeys as a kid!
ReplyDeleteI think my girls might like Smurfs . . .
I just got AT&T so I need to check out the smurfs on there. Loved the smurfs when I was little so I understand your excitement. I'm thinking you can work on the twins......they look like they would LOVE the smurfs.
ReplyDeleteYou can also make smurf cake balls for their party!!
Unfortunately we live to far in the sticks to get Uverse. We can get some type of dish with AT&T but not Uverse. To get Boomerang with Dish Network we would have to majorly upgrade our package :(
ReplyDeleteI do have the first season of the Smurfs on DVD.
Would love to have Boomerang though...
I love it. I am going to program Cooper to only like the ones I like. But didn't we get our Smurf figures from Hardees? Remember the glasses?
ReplyDeleteDo the girls like Strawberry Shortcake?
Right now, Cooper is infatuated with Thomas the Train.
