Eventually i found one at CVS, though it is small for a lunch box and thus is called something else. Alas, it features the princesses. But, being as it was metal, i had to buy it anyway. <BR/><BR/>For a toy store debacle see my blog in a few days, i need to upload pictures first.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214358853640360621.post-8418504379751797942007-09-02T12:15:00.000-04:002007-09-02T12:15:00.000-04:00"both practical and acceptable, in that I would no..."both practical and acceptable, in that I would not be subjecting myself to the daily danger of either falling into a diabetic coma due to its unbearable cuteness or throwing up due to its disgusting gender and cultural conditioning,"<BR/><BR/>I am commenting a bit late, but that is a great line, and I just had to tell you so. That is why, if I am ever lucky enough to have living children, I have no idea how I am going to be able to buy them basic items. Way to go on the personally decorated lunch box! I love it, by the way. And you know there will be a ton of other kids that think it is so cool her mom did that with her.ms.

I can only deal with Pi.xar stuff. I am so glad she chose to put the damn thing back on the shelf. <BR/><BR/>Lori, yeah-- they have these stickers that stay. Unfortunately, some of them may rip, I think.
