BIG BLUE BALL



Last month, Christopher (5) and Emma (3) and I were on a bike ride in the neighborhood. A big blue toning ball was rolling in the street ahead of us, so we grabbed it and began "knocking doors" to see who the owner was.


After about 8 knocks, one of the ladies said to us, "Just take it home and have some fun!" (That's what we needed to hear!) We took her advice! Let's just say we have had a lot of fun with it - just ask the boys!


So, this morning we were on our way to the store in the van and once again, in the neighborhood (a different part than before) a big white toning ball goes rolling in front of us. Christopher was elated, he nearly jumped out of his booster seat! "Mom, Mom, get it! Don't let it get away! Can we keep it too? Oh please Mom!"


I pulled the van over and picked it up. I went and knocked on a few doors, but no one was at home. I stood in the street for a bit, but heard no one yelling at me... so, we now have TWO big toning balls!


I wonder if this is a subliminal message that I need to do some toning! Grrr...

So fun! How lucky are you? What are the chances that two would be rolling down the street!!! These balls are SO FUN!!! Target has a kickball this size, too, and it's really fun. Have a great time - and you don't need toning!

I think the people in your neighborhood need to take better care of their toning balls! Oh well, finders keepers! Losers weepers! :)
