Throwback Thursday!

Stuffed Animals.  They're a staple of childhood.  It started with the raggedy old dinosaur of Hunters.  I know its still around here somewhere.  And Will, he had Chocolate Moose.  And I know he's still hanging around too.

Over the years, the boys have gone through a million stuffed animals.  We've had teeny bears that fit in their pockets, GINORMOUS snakes and polar bears that were won at Kings Island and about every size in between.  

The most popular?  Those would have to be Webkinz.  I couldn't leave the house for months without making a trip to Basket Country to find the newest release.  The boys would make lists of which they had, which they had to have and which they thought were too girly for them...those went on my list.  

And although Webkinz were the most popular with the boys, not one of them could replace Fred the Bunny.  That matted little thing is still Will's most prized possession (confirmed this week as we cleaned his closet!).  He holds a special place in all of our hearts.  

And did I mention that 5 foot polar bear is still living in Hunters room?
