"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Squinkies

For Christmas, E and M received some squinkies.  GQ has been sorrowing every since.  Normally they let him play with "The Sea Witch" and that is it.  So, on one of our dates Justin and I looked to see if we could buy some $4 squinkies that were for boys.  No such luck.  They do have "boy squinkies" online, but they are more than $4.  Which is a bit too much for squinkies, since they get lost quite often anyway.

With that said, it suddenly occurred to me that I did have a box of old-school Polly Pocket sized Star Wars toys:


Which means that now Han Solo and Luke Skywalker play with Ariel....


And GQ has some great light-saber options.  Who needs squinkies?
