I found five Barbies at the kids consignment store in Idaho Falls a couple of trips ago...didn't realize it at the time that one of them was a surfer Barbie (Bret loved that one...) then found a giant bag-o-Barbie clothes (a lot of them crocheted...) at another second hand store...SCORE! To try to alleviate fighting, we gave them to BOTH the girls on Sabine's birthday morning. They were pretty psyched.
Barbies everywhere!
On a side note, the girls have become fans of the Barbie movies, and I have to say they're actually pretty good (aside from the sometimes strange animation and the fact that it looks like they've re-used several of the characters in different movies...). Barbie is shown as a strong, independent, smart young woman...better than a lot of the characters in grown up movies...and many "kids" tv shows. And the music is usually pretty good. So there.
