Switch Witch Surprise

Okay, we don't like Arianna to have battery-operated toys because:
1. They are too loud
2. You have to keep on replacing the stupid batteries
3. She tires of them very quickly
4. She prefers more creative, open-ended play like blocks and clay
5. Did I mention how annoying the sounds can be?

Arianna has recently expressed interest in remote control cars, so the switch witch brought Arianna a remote control Tow Mater and some art stamps and stamp pads and stickers. She was thrilled. The Switch Witch took the candy out of her bag and replaced them with the gifts.

And because the new rule at our house is "One junk a day," she STILL has some Hallowe'en candy left, even though she only took a few pieces from her bag.

The one drawback to the Switch Witch plan? Arianna woke up at 6:00 a.m. the day after Hallowe'en!
