I'm getting my DH an Ipod. The inlaws and I are giving it together. I told my mother maybe some sort of an accessory for it. I know he will like it. Then he can listen to his favorites while plowing those mile-long rows in the tractor. After all, Rush Limbaugh is only on for a couple of hours a day and there is so much time to fill. LOL! As many hours as he spends on the tractor or driving the truck hauling hay, I know he will enjoy it.

So, that's such a big gift, other than socks and underwear, that is all he is getting.

My DD9 is really into science, too, Kerri. The microscope is a fantastic idea! DD7 is my girly girl. They got a boombox last year from my inlaws, so I know CDs is always a good choice. If only I knew what some of the artists names are! LOL! I've been trying to listen to the pop station lately to find out (well, for that and the guys that do the morning show are friends of mine and are currently traveling to Iraq to give presents, notes and cards to our locally based troops over there--the 27th fighter wing from Cannon AFB).

Oh, and the Princess diaries books sounds like a great idea for both of them to share! I'll mention that to my aunt!

Thanks for the ideas! Keep 'em coming!
