The Simple Things In Life

This weekend I have become aware that we are wasting so much money on buying toys for the Monkey.  He is so happy playing with simple things instead of the expensive toys he has.  He will spend 15-30 minutes taking things out of my purse and putting it back in.  He has spent a long time two different times within the past week playing with coupons. I really think his favorite toy is a water bottle followed very closely by baoons (balloons).  He got so upset Sunday because Hannah, Roxanna, and Lanie didn't want him with them so we bought him a balloon.  He played and played with that thing.  He ended up popping it but loved every second he had with his baoon.  He even had the cashier and a few customers commenting on how he was reacting.  Before going to Walmart Sunday, Monkey and I caught lightening bugs for the first time.  He was so excited and it was even raining. Monkey had the best time tonight playing with the pots and lids.  He discovered bubbles this week and LOVES them along with the rest of us.  He will spend hours "reading" books.  It looks like God has blessed us with two readers. Hannah's favorite things to do is read and make things with Duck Tape.  I think I will learn from my kids and start enjoying the similar things in life.  

I read the below picture this weekend while I was holding A sleeping Monkey.

He never let his baoon get far from him!
