We found Mr. Bones!

Aaron and I had this skeleton kit when we were kids. The bones all fit together and I remember it being very sturdy.

On a family trip to Barnes and Noble last week, we saw Mr. Bones sitting on the shelf! I knew I had to buy him. Emma is fascinated with the human body and how God created us. Her personality is 100% pure compassion and care for others. She's a little born care-giver/nurse.

As I stood in line to buy Mr. Bones, a business man who looked to be about my age was doing a double take in what was in my hands. At first I thought he must have been staring at my ever-growing stomach, then I realized he was looking at Mr. Bones.
"I'm so sorry to stare, but I can't believe what you're holding....I had that very skeleton set when I was a child! I had no idea they still made them!"

I had a huge smile as I told him that I had the same experience and was now buying it for my daughters.

Now, my mission is to keep my same-minded husband away from the skeleton set till we give it as a gift. He's equally ready to play. :)
