I was in the mood for something sweet today (which is rare for me, I don't really care for sweets much) and had everything in the house to make Haystacks.
This was one of Mason's Christmas presents. It's a bank, but you don't actually have to put money in to get a gumball. It has one of those twisty-turny slides to get your gum ball out of when it reaches the bottom. I think that I may like it more than he does!
Right now, in the other room, I can hear Mason (he'll be 10 in a couple weeks).
I hear "thump, thump, thump, thump, DANG IT!" Repeat this every few seconds. Occasionally it lasts a little longer before he gets to the "DANG IT!" part.
You see, he got a juggling kit for Christmas and is just geting around to using it now. He got the hang of using one of the balls that came with the kit and now he's up to using two of them.
He's definitely doing better than I could with it - I am quite possibly the world's most uncoordinated person. If there were a competition for that title, I would win, hands down (or some days, that'd be face down, and not for anything dirty, just 'cause that's how I would have fallen, LOL).
I'm glad that he's decided to try something other than a video game for once!
I'm a married, mother of two boys living in Erie, Pennsylvania. I'm a movie buff. I take my camera with me everywhere. I'm shy and quiet, but warm up to new people quickly. I have also found a new love of cupcakes - baking them, not eating them!
