Hi everyone,
 
Just two quick fun-time discoveries I thought I'd share:
 
I had a hard time finding biodegradable packing peanuts for a Dig Box for
my sweeties, but I found that the paper from the paper shredder at work is
just as fun - and it's free!  It does make a big mess - my two monkeys will
bury themselves and then leap out, having a little confetti party.  But
they love it, and it's sweepable.
 
Also, my little girl loves water - the shower, washing dishes, but I don't
have a bathtub.  So I went on a mission to KMart to find a "kiddie pool"
that would fit in my small apartment.  I had planned on getting an underbed
storage box from Rubbermaid ($17.99!) but discovered the best sale of all!
Rubbermaid Xmas Wrap containers are on sale for 75% off - only $4.00 (at
least they are here in Boston).  They are actually a bit longer than the
regular containers, and just the right depth.  So if anyone wants to have a
mid-February pool party, I suggest a trip to the Clearance aisle in KMart.
 
The things we do for our little ones...but hey, my kitchen floor needed
mopping anyway.
