Mommy Still Has To Learn A Thing Or Two

It's moments like these that make you realize that it takes simple things to win a child's heart.
I was racking my brain the whole week on which new toy to buy for the kids.
I wanted something that was not very expensive (since they outgrow their toys faster than they outgrow clothes) but that would still keep them engaged (preferably for hours).
Something that was fun but didn't require my supervision.
I wanted something they could play together and not necessarily have to take turns while playing.

And then I saw them happily playing like this -

Used Paper Napkins. Have you bought your kid one yet?

Now that's Mommy's kind of recycling.

  1. That's a riot!! :D

    My kids love t.p. rolls. ;) I don't care, as long as they throw them out when they start to rip.

  2. LOL :) I gotta admit though usually it's my dogs that like those...they get to 'em before my kids even have a chance!

  3. That actually makes sense now ;) They are so innocent. Adults can't find anything when they are bored ... Hehe .. P.S. Me and Tamanna both live in Texas but different cities. I happen to visit Austin yesterday where she studies :o)

  4. Why do they love junk more than toys??? Sometimes just a box, or tissue is the best toy of all! Cute pics!

    have you given them shaving cream on a cookie sheet? that lasts a long time over here, it's especially fun to do outside and then you can hose them off afterwards : )

I started blogging only after my twin boys turned a year old. Here I am recapturing the special moments and attempting to create new ones that make my life even more amazing. Why I didn't start before this? Well, I was busy traveling and discovering the fun life with twins and also catching up on my sleep when I got the time.
