Time Capsule

When we got pregnant with our first child Mr. Man decided he wanted to put together a time capsule. He put things in there that had the year one them, TIME magazine Year in Review, some collectible cars that were only issued that year, since Spirit was born in 2001 (just before George W. Bush was sworn in) Mr. Man found a dollar bill that had 2001 printed in the corners and then a picture of the president in the center. He also collected some quarters from that year and even still (7 years later) shops ebay for items to put in the time capsule.

Mr. Man has also created a time capsule for Lefty with similar items and his plan is to give them to the boys on their 18th birthday.

Now, when we found out we were going to have a little girl, Mr. Man told me that it was my job to do a time capsule of "girly" things for her. I really struggled. There wasn't alot of girly things with the year. I am still shopping ebay for a 2005 Holiday Barbie because when I went to buy her one in 2005 all that I could find were ones with the packaging all torn up or the store was completely sold out. So far, I have a teen magazine from February 2005, a Better Homes and Gardens from February 2005 and a collectible Winnie the Pooh from 2005. Her time capsule is pretty lame. I hope ebay can save me and help me get some more stuff for her!
