Who would have thought

If you had asked me 15 years ago what commercialized toy my own kids would be obsessed with I would never had guessed Pokemon.

I find myself now listening to James talk about characters and levels and powers, exactly how I remember my little brothers talking about it - 15 years ago.

I wish I had bought stock in it back then.

Rather than shun it, I've decided to embrace it. When James told me he wanted to start a club I said go for it. When he said he wanted to have a party I said sure.  When he told me the schedule for his party/club I had to admire his enthusiasm and planning skills (I wonder where he got it). 

I give you the club members:

James had three requests for this party. That I print out a ton of pictures for each boy to color, have time to trade cards and watch a Pokemon show. 

Here they are all watching a show, holding their cards. It was seriously the cutest thing ever.

I thought it would be a one-time deal...but no...the boys are all requesting weekly, if not bi-weekly meetings. 

Seriously, who would have thought.
