Fun with Toys

We brought out the old bouncy house, 

princess ball pit thing that we've been 

storing in the attic for awhile.

 I'm not a big fan of princess-y things and it 

always seemed to get balls everywhere,

go figure.

But we saved it because it was always a really 

big hit with Ava and we suspected baby #2

might love it equally as much.

 Ava seems to LOVE everything we bring 

back out for Norah, she has played with this 

thing non-stop.  She turns it into a million 

other things which really equals her destroying

it as quickly as possible, all the while plotting 

what to do with it next.

She has drug it all through the house, turned it 

upside down to make a fort and flipped Norah

out of it over & over which she assured me 

Norah LOVED and judging from her laughter

that seemed to be accurate.

 Norah loves it too.  She loves getting in and 

out of it a million times a day.  She loves all 

the games Ava makes up with it and she 

enjoys just sitting and hiding inside, peaking 

out at us.

 Ava daydreams about sleeping inside of the thing.

 She kept trying to convince me how comfortable

she was sure it would be.

She begged me to let her "camp out" in 

the living room in it.  I said hell no because

that would be like agreeing to never have her 

go to bed, hanging out right in the middle of 

our adult time.  So not happening.

But she did finally get her main wish, which was

to sleep on the thing.  It's good she got that in,

I think she has managed to pop it in about 6 

different areas and the duct tape is just not 

cutting it, so it's quickly on it's way out.

That princess-y bounce house, ball pit, castle 

thing didn't last long this time, but I still think 

they got a good life out of it.

As much as I love watching them really enjoy

their toys, I'm not going to lie, not really sad 

to see that go.

Bye-bye princess castle thingamajig, 

you will be missed, just not by me : )
