Now boys....

Meowmy and Purrpa have spent over $1,000 on toys and things to keep you busy. I know, because Purrpa keeps all the receipts. So when the three of you get in a stand off over a twisty tie that came off a loaf of bread it hurts my feelings. Meowmy will stop buying all the nice toys if you want her too, and she'll just give you rings off of a milk jug and balls of foil for the rest of time. You seem to like them better.

But Mooommm, you just don't understand. Store-bought toys just aren't as fun.

I know... but it's too funny hearing growling noises and some moderate hissing. As I walk out and realize it's all over a twisty tie I just sigh. They are funny little creatures.

I don't even try to find all the rattley mice we bought over the past two years, anymore. Give them a tin foil ball or a twist tie and they have a grand old time.

Are they ALL like that??

LOL, I know the feeling. Abby's favourite toy at the moment is one of those foam rings that sit on the top of a stack of new CDs.

The best toys are ones that cost $1 or less.

Gum wrappers and straws are a big hit in our house right now

Ours love balled up Hershey's Miniture wrappers. (Boog loves the smell of chocolate, but won't eat it thankfully.) Skippy just wants whatever Boog has.

Ari loves the rolled up newspaper. (Take one sheet, roll from one corner to the opposite corner as tightly as you can. Tape. Waggle in front of hyper white cat - your cat color will vary - or under a bedsheet. )

Waitaminnit! Bit left his banana unguarded?

Yes... when it comes to twisty ties he goes all out. It's a hunting game.

We bought a large poster on the weekend that came in a large, heavy cardboard tube. Last night I saw the tube appear in the loungeroom - Smudge had her nose in one end of the tube and was pushing it longways around the house... funny girl.

I never buy expensive toys anymore, the little things are best

I second that!!!

With Lucy, the best toys are any item which can be moved from my desk to the floor. Doesn't matter what it is.
