These photos tell it all.  My little Joey decided to play carpet-farmer-construction with my plastic pellets in our living room.

"What?"  He says.

Then he and his older sister turned the pellets into a spa for their plastic animals.

Then right after I took these photos I heard the sound of pellets that had been hurled against the walls....  [cringe].  They....were.....everywhere.......


All I could do was laugh...and vaccuum...and vaccumm......

oooooooooooh i always wanted a Kirby. My friend had one and it was an old model but it had all lovely shiny chrome bits on and reminded me of an old 1950's Buick - it was a lovely piece of kit.
Does your Kirby have shiny chrome Judi - or are new models very modern in appearance?

I just love chrome on stuff - hate polishing it though  bear_tongue

Judi thanks so much for making me smile. I just love the way little Joey has used his imagination and had a wonderful time. Kids are so inventive and whats six months of finding pellets...nah that's nothing  bear_whistle

When my niece was very young I painted a wall in her playroom of the 'Magic Rounderbout' with all the characters. When her younger brother was two years old the room was going to be his new bedroom and the bed needed to stand near the painted wall. My sister papered the wall and to my nephews disappointment covered his favourite character 'Dougal' That night my sister popped in to check on my nephew only to find that he had stripped the wall to find Dougal and was fast asleep under torn strips of damp wall paper. Kids don't you just love them!  bear_wub

Penny. Yes , our Kirby is nice and shiney.  We need on ethis poweful at our house. bear_laugh  bear_wacko  bear_whistle

Julia, thank you o much for the comment.  I never thought of my bears eyes looking like my son's but I think infact they do!  Yep, he's 3, but is the size of a 4 1/2 year old according to his doctor...and he wears size 5-6 clothes.  I think he is going to be a tall boy.

Jane, what a cute story!  Children certainly enrich our lives and give us many fun memories.

bear_grin  bear_grin He is very cute.   bear_grin  bear_grin  My son would play for hours with his little trucks.  A least the pellets are nice and clean.  My son would have been in nice brown dirt with his trucks.  He is seventeen and still plays in the dirt with his truck, only now the truck is bigger and its more expensive when he breaks it.  bear_grin  bear_grin

Joey_sandpile3-1.JPGOh isn't that the truth Joan!  When they get bigger they have much more expensive "toys"!!!!  We have a large sand box out side and a "dirt mound" which is screened sand that we use for bedding calves with in the summer , that he also likes to play in.Joey_sandpile4-1.JPG

Judi, your story brought a huge smile to my face! Why is it that our children can do things we would normally be cross at, yet all we can do is smile??? I guess it's cos we love them! And as someone else said, your son will remember how much fun he had for the rest of his life....that's got to be worth a bag of pellets!  bear_grin

Helena, you're so right.  It's hard to be mad when are so cute.  And really, it's harmless.

Lisa, funny you should mention my bears look like my son.  I have heard that from people on this board too!  Julia metioned it too in this thread bear_wub   So strange how it comes out naturally , and  unforced. bear_wub

At least he got into the pvc pellets (I assume that is what he was playing with) and not your airbrushing AAAHHH!!! That could have been a disaster!
