OK, I'm pretty sure that Ethan is the first child in St. Louis to have the Indiana Jones action figure. They just went on sale today and yes, the child in Kevin caused him to take off work early and go by Toys R Us where he stood and watched the worker open the box of the first Indiana toys they were "allowed" to sell. If only I had the camera running this afternoon as Ethan and Kevin were literally swinging from a branch in our backyard as the adventure led to the big finale with the toy being the "treasure". I'm not kidding.
He wasn't the only one--one other dad was there (who arrived at the same time as Kevin). Between them, they decided to hold a "draft" of the toys, just to make sure everything was "fair". Kevin won the coin toss, and thankfully there were enough to go around. We're set for this year's birthday, at least.
I'm doing much better by the way, and hope to be back up to full speed by the weekend.

glad you're feeling better. i'm still in shock that you had surgery last week. crazy.
Love it. I'm glad my husband's not the only big-kid father around...I'm sure Ethan was thrilled with it. So is Kevin going to camp out at the movie theater later this week to be first in line for the movie?
