A few days ago, I bought a new bottle of bath stuff for the boys. Turns out it’s more of a bubble bath-type solution than a body/baby wash, but I figured I might as well give it a try anyways. Turns out the boys love it!

One downside though: when the boys let one rip (and they have been fairly gassy lately), with all the bubbles on the surface of the water, it’s nearly impossible to determine whether or not they were, well, productive.

Cleaning bath poo is fun!

So I’ve managed to receive various gift cards for Christmas (and one from a few years back that I’d forgotten about, but still has its original balance on it). This happens most years, and I usually use the cards to buy up some old, cheap PC games. So cheap that I often get my money’s worth just skimming the manual or playing the tutorial. Plus the games in the price range that I usually consider have been around for a while, proving their worth to some degree. But, this holiday I’ve ended up with a bit more to spend (and I might as well spend it, otherwise these companies just get to sit on my money and make interest on me), so I’m considering a few of the more expensive games. Or I could wait until prices drop a bit more as newer games come out.

I haven’t completely picked out all of the possible games, but here’s a sampling of what I’m considering at the moment and the various prices I’ve dug up so far. It’s interesting to see how some of the games have such a wide variation in pricing across the various stores. I’ll most likely be using the Amazon gift certificate for books (especially with the 4-for-3 deal they’ve got on paperbacks still going), but I thought I’d include the prices that for comparison’s sake.
