note to self....

the crayola glow station i mentioned in the previous post:
apparently it's sold out all over the universe.
did you know crayola has 2 web sights? for those of you who are as "not smart" as me to figure this out there is crayola.com, where you can browse a list of activities, craft ideas, and crayola products and where to buy them.
but you have to go to crayolastore.com to actually order products from the crayola makers themselves!
how frustrating!
after my long search i finally figure out where to order the damn thing direct from crayola and guess what?
yep.
they have none.
apparently that's why no one else has any.i also learned during my "quest for crayola" that this item is one of the top ten hotest items for christmas. another reason why they are all gone. i could bid on ebay. but i'm not that desperate.i saw one hanging on the shelf at walmart about 2 weeks ago and i briefly thought of snatching it up for this very reason -but i didn't. i wans't sure at the time who would be getting it.
oh well. i snoozed and i loozed. lesson learned.
i'm glad it's not for my kid or i'd just die for sake of not having one!
i think i may use some of the rewards points from our credit card program to get the boys a gift card to toysrus. they won't be at christmas this year anyway as it's the first christmas their parents are divorced and will more than likely be attending christmas with dh's side of the family at a different time than us.

Man. There is always one toy a year that is impossible to get, isn't there? Maybe you'll get lucky. I will keep my eyes open here and see if I can snag one for you.
