The BEST toy (and cheapest!)

We're keeping Kemp this week-end b/c Natalie is leading music on a Chrysalis (and also she and Brad are giving the "MARRIAGE TALK" on Sat!). Katie is giving her first talk, too! ("IDEALS").  Funny---Natalie and Katie are roomies at Camp Sumatanga this week-end! What better "get-away" than to GET AWAY with girls and GOD! All the laughter/food and even tears! Yep, just what GIRLS Love! BUT, back to KEMP! We're keeping him some of the time this week-end. (right now, he's home with his Daddy, but, he's coming back this afternoon and will spend the night tonight). Yesterday he was here all day and spent the night on Thursday night. We (Kemp and I) , went to WalMart and I was going to buy him a new toy but he was getting tired of shopping and  HUNGRY so I decided I'd just pull something out of my "granjan toys" to give him when I got home (I have a box full of  new toys I keep in a closet to pull out when the little ones are bored!). After lunch (we ate his favorite, and mine! Mickey D's! He LOVES french fries!), he found 2 large pieces of styrofoam from the box that the new heater came from! OH MY GOSH! If I had bought him a toy at   FAO SWARTZ he wouldn't have been happier than he was with those 2 pieces of foam!!!!!!!!!!!! He went nuts over them! Threw them; rode them like  a horse; sat on them; broke them; threw them into pieces! Then, he got the broom and "swept them" up! Laura and I laughed at him for 2 hours! I had so much fun snapping pix of him at play! I HATE those POSED shots of kids. Where they're sitting in custom made little clothes and sitting like a statue, not doing anything.  I like to just follow Kemp/Lily around shooting pix after pix! (Oh, if I had had a digital camera when MY kids were little we'd have to have 2 houses! One for pix and one to live in! It's almost that bad NOW!).I have found that the pictures I made of my own kids of them PLAYING and acting silly are my favorites now. SO, that's what I do with Kemp and Lily! I love the ACTION SHOTS; the pix of them CRYING; Eating; sleeping! I love ALL of them! I don't even care if the house is clean in the pictures, after all, that's part of having kids! Having a mess around!  I even made pictures of the carpet of all the pieces and mess he made! WHO CARES? That's what vaccum cleaners are for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......As you can see, he was ZONKED after going to WalMart; playing so hard; jumping; laughing; SWEEPING that he fell RIGHT to sleep and slept, for, get this! THREE HOURS!!!!!!!! (now that's definitely worth messing the carpet up for! A 3 hour nap!). I just LOVE sleeping kids pix, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
