Okay, I KNOW that it is only September, but I am already thinking about Christmas and what the girls would like and how in the world are we going to afford it. We will be okay, we will not lose our house, we will have our cars, we will have food and our bills will be paid. Sadly, Christmas toys are not in the budget. So I was thinking... what about a big swap between families. I have some toys (see picture above) that the girls are no longer using. I would love to swap some toys for some of your toys. Wanna Play?!
Rules: Please make sure that all parts are there and it is good condition. Trust is utmost, if you say you will swap then let's do it. It would be sad to give up something and expect something and get nothing. But I am sure all of my friends are reading this.
Okay, let's play:
1) Up for bid I have a fancy Diego Laptop. Here is what Target says: • Diego's interactive laptop teaches children about letters, numbers and animal facts while exploring Diegos’ world
• Features 4 double-sided flipping pages, each with a different environment
• There are 3 modes of play: identify, quiz and rescue
• For ages 2 yrs. and up
• Batteries Included: 3 AA Batteries And it is cool. They like it, but they don't LOVE it. So Away it goes!!! It is worth brand new $30 and I think that it is in good condition... The above picture is not my item it is the advertised picture, but you can see mine. It is in good shape. $20 in cash or Dora the Explorer big back yard mega blocks!!!
2) VTech ABC Food Fun. This is a portable interactive fridge. It has three mode buttons and it is fun. Here is what Amazon says about it: Product Description
When it comes to learning, serve it up farm-stand fresh with ABC Food Fun. Chock full of brain-building fun, this nifty set is a new and innovative challenge for budding Einsteins. The set contains 26 food-shaped magnets that display a food's first letter, helping little ones to make important connections. And there's more than just letters -- ABC Food Fun dishes up important lessons in foods, colors, logic and more. Plus, youngsters will love having their own fridge that sticks right onto Mom and Dad's. Measures 5" x 7.5" x 1.6". Requires 2 "AA" batteries, included. Brand new $15 your price: Baby doll furniture (a stroller or a high chair for a baby)!!!
3) Elmo's World The great Outdoors DVD. Normally $10, your price Dora the Explorer Fairy Tale Adventures DVD
4) Barney Let's Play School DVD. Again, $10 in cash from the store or free with the exchange of Veggie Tales The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's
5) A mega bloks Transferring Timmy Truck that converts to three different vehicles and talks (fire truck, tow truck and dump truck). I am not sure if I have all of the same blocks, but I do have all of the parts of each truck.
6) Fisher Price Little People three level garage. This is a few years old and Fisher price has "updated" it so I did not find a picture. But you can see me, if you want to before you swap... This includes three vehicles, five people, 2a stop signs, a fast food menu and a helicopter. SWEET!!! It also has lots of buttons and makes lots of noise. It includes an elevator and gas pump.
7) Last and probably not least, I have a convertible crib, it is not in perfect condition, it is in used condition. but I am looking for a used, in decent condition, twin size bed frame. Erica is ready to take the next step in bed size... Oh Joy.
And of course, I am lots of unmatched socks, odd fitting clothes and misc puzzle pieces. Myself, I am willing to trade my "will fit one day" clothes for something cool.
Sounds fun right....
Okay, here is what I would love to trade for:
Dora the explorer Dollhouse
Dora DVD (check with me, we have some but there are always ones that we don't have)
Dora books
Dora the explorer doll
Okay, pretty much ANYTHING to do with Dora the Explorer. We have some stuff so, let me know what you want to part with and we will swap!
Gee can you tell we are on a Dora cult right now, ERICA.
Veggies Tales DVD (same as above)
Baby Doll furniture, stroller, high chair, changing table
Anything with Strawberry shortcake (Andrea). We have lots of books and a few movies and some toys, but she loves Strawberry shortcake.
Or heck, what do you want to get rid of, maybe we want it!!!
So, let me know what you have to trade.
I want to emphasize that I am NOT looking for donations, I am trying to exchange. I have that we are not using.. I thought that I would be practical and make some trades. A way to save money and get toys for Christmas.
I will keep cleaning my house and pony up some more!!!

Hey, if this doesn't work.... try craigslist... I can help you if you'd like... you can sell things and post what you are looking for. We found our van that way!
Ok, I want the truck thing, I think Evan would enjoy it! I can round up some Dora stuff (I know you talked about the talking doll house before, but Allie still likes it, so we can't part with it, yet) And if I can't come up with enough tradeable stuff, I have cash. I'll see you tomorrow and we can talk then!
