How do you amuse three children who have more toys than they can possibly play with in a single day? You simply give them a few helium filled balloons and let their imaginations take over. Love that Xander decided to lay down on the couch right underneath his own giant, life-size portrait on the wall (that's a handsome young man up there, he says).
Daddy's good friend George brought some balloons over this weekend with Connor's birthday present, and all of the boys have loved them. Two are tied onto the Lightning McQueen ride-along trucks (just that much more annoying to trip over now), and the other just roams the living room until someone asks to have it pulled down so they can play with it. We have lost one or two in the vaulted ceiling, but the heating system usually pushes it to a corner that you can reach from the steps after a day or so. Not sure how much longer these are going to last, but so far, one of the best inexpensive (I'm assuming) toys ever!
