A Collaboration!

The kids have become obsessed (OBSESSED) with The Octonauts (http://www.octonauts.com/)  We first found out about these underwater protectors when Aunt Andie bought Evan a book 3 years ago.  Little did we know that these imports from the UK  would be taking over our wallet, TV, floor space and all conversation.  

The main difference between the Octonauts and all other things up to this point is that the kids are into them together.  And all toys purchased are to be shared equally.  So when the kids decided they wanted a new Gup (look it up, people) we told them to check their piggie banks and decide together if they wanted to pool resources and buy a new one.  And lo and behold...we have the Gup C

 Another collaboration that didn't go quite so well was Hollan's collaboration with the mud room shelf.  Or collision may be a better word...
