Some Good Old-Fashioned (Cheap!) Fun

Does anyone remember those little capsules that dissolve in warm water to produce a foam figure? Well I found some farm animal ones for $2 at W@lM@rt the other day. And this is how we spent our afternoon yesterday.  After watching the rooster and horse emerge in form from the capsules, Carter proceeded to spend 30 minutes or so just holding the glass in his lap and staring at them as if he were caring for some baby chicks that had just hatched.  After a while, he just carried the glass with him around the deck.  Who knew such simple tricks could create such long-lasting entertainment value???

Jack is absolutely obsessed with these too, he calls them "what's it gonna bes" because that's what we say when they are dissolving. The $1 aisle at Target has had a large collection of them for a while and we can't leave there without some. : )

totally lovin those Keens on Carter!

That's adorable! I was in Smith's the other day, and they have the little "Easter Egg" dye "pills" that are not for eggs - but for the bathtub!!! Supposedly, they are safe for children and will not actually dye the skin or tub. Might be another fun, cheap activity? :) Thank you for sharing your story with us.
In Him,
