When there are no toys left . . . .


Timeout, everyone!

Poor 'Shroom and Lolli have been without toys for almost a week now . . . and the movers don't show up for another two more weeks!

So, how do they pass their time away? by doing some creative things . . .

- playing "baby cheetah" (Lolli) and "daddy cheetah" ('Shroom)
It seems a little weird that Lolli is being babied by 'Shroom but it's all imaginary play with no props or toys.

- making paper airplanes out of scrap paper with Air Boss
They're enjoying the big backyard as we most likely won't have a blade of grass to call our own for a very long time (unless we hit it big at Vegas or using scratch tickets!)

- helping mommy shred paper (ahh . . . so nice to get rid of 5+ year old bank statements!)
"Shroom and Lolli call it "shedding paper" and they know how dangerous the shredder is. They feed the paper in, jump back, and cover their ears with their hands (it's not THAT loud)

- drying cans of leftover paint using kitty litter
Lolli and I started the first batch this afternoon and she had fun stirring the clumped up mess. She informed me that she likes the smell of the latex paint. Oh dear.

and the best way to pass the time away with no toys . . .
. . . screaming at the top of their lungs and running through out the emptier house. Yes, it's very noisy and I'm sure our downstairs neighbors hate us but they have absolutely nothing to play with. Can I blame them?
