How does one determine the gender of a dragon? That's a question for the ages. Also, of course, I see the mistake in my post after you quoted it. I blame chronic sleep deprivation (insomnia plus a baby). I swear I do know when (and when not) to use apostrophes! Also, can I assume you are now on the hunt for accessories for different seasons and holidays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Christmas tree is still up in my living room. One year it stayed up till June. (It's a fake tree.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Our Christmas tree is up, with paper hearts and red and pink dragons, frogs, snakes and Pokémon :). It may stay up all year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) This thread is like all of chanting, “Do it! Do it! Do it!” until you bought it. As to whether or not it’s a girl or a boy, show the dragon the dishes I just bought. I showed a picture of them to my ds15 and he got all upset, “Those are too girly! You can’t get those!”. He haaaates them. So, if the dragon hates the dishes, then it’s a 15 yo boy. If the dragon loves them, it’s a girl dragon.

saraha Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If anyone is really in need of zany yard art, but is worried that site seems sketchy, there is an outfit in Oshkosh Wi called M Schettl Sales. My bff used to be their neighbor. Anyway, they mostly sell fixtures and stuff, but their outside yard is FULL of the strangest stuff ever collected. When we would visit my bff, a walk down to M Schettl was always on the agenda, she would make scavenger hunt lists! I got these pictures from their website, doesn't do it justice. They have these gorgeous glass houses all over the acerage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraha Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) M Schettl will never know it, but they are a backdrop to some of our favorite memories with bff's family! And it's all for sale!!! Funny story about the train caboose a few pictures up, we were there one time and doing a scavenger hunt. My dh climbed the steps to peek in the caboose windows looking for whatever on the list and the kids were trying to follow him up. He spun around real quick and shooed everyone on to something else. I asked him what was up, and he said he thought he saw a guy sleeping in there. I asked are you sure, his response was "Of course not, this place is full of crazy things" he literally wasn't sure if it was a real person or not because there are mannequins and stuff everywhere in unexpected places. Well, we searched more of the acreage, and before we left he went to peek in the window to see if the person/mannequin was still there and they were gone, so it must have been a person squatting there after all! The weird thing is if you go into the actual buildings, it is full of boring stuff like vanities and closet doors! I just checked and their facebook page is full of visitor submitted pictures, I mean there is probably 10 acres of this stuff!

And I love the dragon colors and think it looks super cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
