Blast from the past

My mom has been cleaning out the basement and in the process has found a lot of our old toys, many I had forgotten all about. The kids have been particularly excited about the "little Legos" that are now at Grandma's house to play with. Grace is also fond of my old Care Bear figurines.

And you can see that fancy red Barbie car has been converted to a speed racer.
My favorite so far is some old story books with titles like The Ghost Who Loved Toast, The Muddiest Pig Contest and Don Pedro and the Three Dragons. Here Samuel and Isaak are retelling the stories together. What fun to share these pieces of my childhood with my kids!
