Simplicity...

It's no secret to any of us that we are living in hard times...one of the best things about having a kid is that it teaches me on a daily basis that it doesn't matter. Mason has tons of toys, but if you have kids you know that he'd take a regular household item any day over the best that Leapfrog has to offer. So for this blog I thought I'd share just a few pics of some of his favorite things. (Watch out Oprah.)

If you have kids and you haven't used food coloring yet in your nightly bath...it's a MUST DO. RED, BLUE, or YELLOW... it's a blast! Not to worry, it won't stain baby or the tub. I have to admit. With water that looks this tropical and blue I've been tempted to try this myself after a long day. 

The squirt bottle...he must have played with this for a good hour straight. Although I have to admit that the dog was BEGGING me to take it away. He just kept spraying her and laughing.

Ok. I will admit this did take some serious cleaning up afterwords. Who knew shredded paper could be so much fun. I hear it's even better when your Mom, let's you wear your Christmas pajamas in April. :-)
We were at a Spring Training Game here. Forget cotton candy, forget the game, forget the free cookies. All he wanted to play with was this little ball.

So just remember... it's all in the simple joys of life that we find the most happiness.

Now I gotta get going...I'm bidding on a Kindle on Ebay. (Just kidding.)
