Balloons




While we were down in Tampa, we went out to eat for breakfast one morning and the restaurant offered, interestingly enough, a balloon ‘artist’. She made a balloon of choice for each of the kids. The girls each chose a multicolored butterfly, Dalton chose a sword with a parrot for his shoulder, Asher chose a Spiderman and Zach got a car. The wheels of the car were made out of one balloon, twisted in the middle to make two bubble wheels. After a day or so in the hotel, the balloon figures were slowly dismantled and the wheels came undone from their balloon host. As Isabelle is wont to do, she found something new and different to do with the balloons. She stuffed them into her shirt. Soon our girl was sporting a nifty set of nice, round, ahem… balloons. Of course, she did get a bit of help getting them ‘just right’. I know, we’re naughty parents. We were all cracking up and the game ensued. Gotta love a 2 year old with balloons like that.

    BWAAAAAHAAAHAAA…that’s supposed to be my guffaw. Sooo funny. My girls do the same thing, except it’s often a big balloon right in the middle. Scary picture too. They play bumper cars like that. :o)

    BTW, that’s a fun kids’ party game. Two teams, one guy on each puts on a stretchy tshirt and sweatpants over their clothes. In a given amt. of time, the teams blow up balloons and see how many they can stuff in the sweatpants-person. It’s hysterical.

    Nice… balloons! 😉 Very funny. We’d do that at my house, too! My Sophia was wearing her bikini top today, (didn’t end up getting we in the water slide), and wanted to wear it as a ‘booby bra’ like her big sister & mommy! Cute!
