Ok, is anyone else SICK of packaging?!?! The twistie ties that require wire cutters to exricate the toy while your kid grapples and paws to get it out of the box? The millions of tiny transparent rubber bands that keep miniscule pieces in place? The boxes taped shut in completely incomprehensible places? The hard plastic bubble packs that nearly require a blow torch to cut through? Hmmmm . . . do you think the Made in China people are more amused or amazed by the crap they use to fasten the toys to their boxes?!?! In response, let me now hail the Christmas morning miracle tool, the Leatherman Micra:
Accept no substitutes! It wire cuts, it chops, it can opens, it screw drives standard AND Philips head (great for battery installation!). Thankfully this was handy in my purse for quick Christmas application. Next year, make these your stocking stuffers! Hmm - will have to think about that for the 3 year old . . . but, she is pretty dexterous . . .
And gratuitously, here are my kids opening gifts. Roman loves his bubble gum machine. Laney loves everything!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Ohh what a good idea!! I was trying to jam a big pair of scizzors underneath those stupid zip tie things that were too tight to give any slack to let the scissors through!
I have GOT to get one of those!! Al actually got a toy for Christmas a few years ago that had 44 (yes forty-four!) of those blasted wire-twist ties!
you are so prepared! I would definitely kill myself of at least lose a finger with one of those.
Of all I think the twistie ties are the worst!
And it was a great night!!!
