A very neat local independent toy and learning store, Mindventures, has now gone out of business. I stopped in a couple of days before the doors closed for good to see what was left, and walked out with some pretty good deals. I got a huge pack of assorted colored construction paper, a miniature hearts card game, and a magnetic travel backgammon set, all for less than 6 dollars. I love travel games- they are great in the diaper bag to pull out when we have a wait somewhere, or are in the car for a while, or even to keep the kids busy when we’re eating out and it’s taking me even longer than normal to eat my food from entertaining E4. I was really excited about finding a backgammon set, as E1 and E2 love to play.
(By the way, yes, I missed another photo day, but I’ve decided I don’t want to have a post that only says, “missed another one,” even for continuity.)
