Fall Break Fun

My kids have one favorite toy at our house. It drives Clint and I crazy. They play on them all the time and fight over who gets to use them and leave them all over the house so we trip over them. What fantastic toy is this you ask? CRUTCHES. When Justin was in 7th grade he needed some so we had a pair laying around. For Fall Break we needed a little excitement so...we went to our local GoodWill stores and found pairs for Clara, and Susanna and Clara's friend. First of all, Laine and Clara had to dress the part. I couldn't resist capturing their fun times.




This is how they like to use them. As balancing toys or stilts.

So...if your kids need a little excitement and a new toy...for 3 dollars you can have hours and hours of fun.

Oh my gosh! so funny! I remember LOVING to play with crutches too when I was younger. I love the band-aids....nice touch.

So funny. One year thats all Rachel wanted for Christmas. I finally broke down and bought some for her. Darn if that wasn't her favorite present that year.

Clever Mom but oh so funny. Clara, you are a good actress. I do seem to remember kids playing with crutches. I guess we would all spend less money on toys if we were really smart and figured out the simple things kids really enjoy. Babies really like to play with real things like pots and pans and measuring cups. Amelia's pictures are oh so cute. Love, Mom
