{this moment} -
A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A
simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and
remember.
They did get a couple of good ones... you'd hope after opening 72 packs!! We all collect cards... even me. They were hoping to find an autographed card in one of them... there were only 5,000 inserted total. No such luck on that one, though. I'll be posting the whole story later this week, prob. My mom "won" these at an auction... with many, many more. These were the only 2 boxes we let the boys open. It was such a fun experience for them!
Mostly collecting. Some trading, but usually just between the four of us! There aren't too many kids these days TO trade with, unfortunately, because they don't collect. We go to a lot of card shows and let the boys pick out their favorite players. My boys trade Legos sometimes, too. Even little erasers!
Lisa~ It was fun! And, NO... no gum. These were 1992 boxes they opened. We do have some other ones in "wax packs" that do have the powdery pink gum sticks, though.

Oh collecting or trading? My boys collect and trade their Lego pieces and Bionicles instead.
Thanks for stopping by!

oh, now I feel guilty. I made my husband sell his stash the last time I was cleaning out the garage...!
Oh wow, how fun!
Oh no! At least you didn't throw them away and they went to another home.
