Another little last minute gem....

....a woodburning kit????? Santa, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!! Even in desperation, did you not envision names burned into furniture, not to mention other possible hazards of boys let loose with a "burning" device......is this for real? Not just a woodburning kit but a JUMBO woodburning kit......has this been totally erased from my memory? Where did this come from? Work with me here.....

Interestingly enough, it wasn't the wood burning kit that landed me in the most trouble with "wood burning"...it was grandpa's magnifying glass and grandmas picnic table. What picnic table wouldn't look better with my initials carved in it...besides, it could've been Dad who did it.

Last-minute desperation does lead to interesting (questionable?) choices but also to unforgetable memories. I think any one of your kids would tell you that your method worked to make their childhoods memorable.

That picture is AWESOME! Look at Kyles face. So much to hold on to. He looks like Evan. And the Woodburning Kit looks like a Saturday Night Live skit just waiting to happen. I love it!

I blame Mr. Cox the 5th grade teacher for that one. I remember using a blow torch in his class to antique our wood trucks. My how times have changed. I wouldn't give George anything with the word "Burn" in it.
