Summer Loot

Just doing my part to stimulate the economy by purchasing a few summer items at the dollar store (The Dollar Tree to be exact). What did I find?

1. A bug kit

2. Badminton rackets

3. Splash balls

4. Bubbles

5. Beach balls

6. Water blaster tubes

7. Swim Ring and arm floats

Did I forget anything? Perhaps a hula hoop. I plan on handing them out one day at a time, just spreading the joy a bit.

Jumping Off the Jelly Beans

With all of the plastic eggs cracked and the candy consumed, we had a little excess energy to burn off. Truth be known, I probably ate the most. We were all in need of some exercise. It's still raining here and will continue to rain until June, so I am always looking for indoor play equipment. One of our favorites is the Playskool Honeybee Hop. A game with a spinning stick that you jump, hop, or just run away from. My kids have yet to master the jump rope, so this is a great alternative. With motivational music and various speeds, I even like to play with this one! The best part: no one has to take turns.
