they started small, like palm size.
and then graduated to my largest soup pot.
then to the jacuzzi tub.
and then they met some friends.
and then i stopped taking pictures of them. even though the girls stop what they are doing at least a dozen times and almost get more excited than they were on Christmas morning, and run down as fast as they can to go check on their growth.
that's what's happening in my neck of the woods. along with strep throat. and pink eye. and pluggin away on CHA samples and class tutorials. oh, and we can't forget all the meltdowns and sibling squabbles. *sigh* i'm ready for a normal routine again.
When I was teaching preschool I would bring one of those "grow things" into the classroom on occassion. The children were always fascinated.
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny....we currently have one of these growing alligators in our bathtub (also purchased at Michael's). When you take them out they shrink back to a small size and you can use them over and over and over (will this thing ever leave?????)
ReplyDeleteThe grow things are always a hit at our house. They had some of spiderman "floating" around out there somewhere that a certain someone you know might enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can so relate to the sibling thing. I think I've said "Please keep your hands to yourself" at least 70 million billion times in the last two weeks. And on the other hand I'm feeling a little weepy that everyone has to go back to the "normal" next week...
Me, too (on the normal routines)...
ReplyDeleteThats so funny. We have the Ray and the Starfish growing in our tub. DD just loves those things and they do make great stocking stuffers.
ReplyDeleteWe just started growing 3 dinosaurs this morning (also from Michaels). My kids are so excited to see them grow into "monsters". Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteOh those tings are horrible! The boys got some at the store. We had the starfish too.
ReplyDeleteAfter a while, they get all slimy & goopy.
Blech.
Are things ever normal?! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for it, too, whatever normal routine means.
