Eggciting Dinosaur Find

We were leaving Toys R Us the other day and normally I am not a sucker for gimmicky things at the POP (point of purchase for those not familiar with merchant terms) but this I could not resist.

The signage promised "Shaking noise" "Sour surprise" and it was in the shape of a dinosaur egg, two things that my boys have been supremely interested in as of late. So I plunked down my 4 bits and we all got to marvel at this giant egg shaped gum ball.

Needless to say the 4 of us could not consume this much gum, even after spitting out severel massive wads only to savagely bite off another mouth full.

I must say this though, it is so much fun to just through caution to the wind sometimes and bend to that kid-like impulsive desire to "just enjoy the thrill of over indulgence"!!!

Crazy Crayola

I had a request for another crayon roll, but this time put a little spin on the first one that I did.Can we all say "Button"? I thought that this was a little cleaner look and a lot less effort, plus I have a whole lot of loose ones hanging around.

This one also takes up less material...yay! They are $10 for anyone that is interested. (Crayons are not included, $3 at Target)

Happy 7th

I cannot believe that my boy is 7! This day was all about Christopher. He picked sourdough pancakes for breakfast, lemon cake with strawberry frosted cupcakes for desert, corndogs with a few buddies for lunch and Sonics for dinner.

This year is the first year that we made his birthday into an invite sort of deal. So we gave Christopher a couple of choices, to either have a small party or to go mini-golfing with one friend. Out of a list of all boys save one, he chooses Catie...a very good friend from our homeschooling group.

They had a blast racing from one green to the next...I think Steve and I were only on the 6th hole when they finished up the 18th.

And the arcades were a complete hit. Being a Wednesday night during school there really was very few people there, which made the enjoyment factor a lot bigger for all of us...no waiting and no getting dizzy trying to keep track of which ones are mine.

Happy 7th birthday sweet child of mine!
