Old Skool


In this digital and high tec world we are living in its no surprise the toys that are out now are unlike any I have seen. And believe me Johnny is always begging for the latest and greatest. But I have realized lately that what he find the most joy in playing with are the simple, old skool toys.




He went to a birthday part and in the favor bag got a whoopee cushion, why I have not thought to buy my son this I have no idea. It was the HARDEST I have ever seen him laugh in my life. He has tried to make everyone sit on that thing, even Hickup. Johnny has been working on his techniques and sneaky skills to make it more effective - but it was great pure fun and laughter for hours.






We just got a great deal on a swingset / fort for the backyard and now that he has a fort he needs a way of communication between up top and below. So we got some cans and made walkie talkies. Another great success, fun project for Johnny and I am once again a cool mom. He is so cute and truly believes the rope between the cans is transmitting directly to my ear, he kept whispering the top secrete messages to me and then after he thought about it for a second he screamed into the can. Of cores I played along, dropping the can and holding my ear, he thinks he is sooo funny.








So along with collecting as many sticks I can find for his 5th birthday (yes I said 5th - tear) I am on the lookout for more blast from the past toys- if you have any suggestions let me know!
