OK I am now out of the closet! I guess the rally at Santa Barbara did it. We meet some great folks from Arizona and all over CA. Now they can get in touch with me. (Hear this Mr. Ferlosopher?). Our three kids like playing in their self water container. You know, the ones that have the pool at the bottom of the jug and it replaces the water used. Well our gang likes to use their feet to throw the water out on the rug. Now not being really bright I took a 2 foot square piece of wood and covered it with some old rug and put it under the water container to save our carpet (as if it wouldn't get wet). After a couple of days it was soaked. I then found a great solution. PUT IT IN A EMPTY LITTER BOX AND SMACK YOUR HEAD MANY TIMES! Gosh that was a lot less work that carpeting that wood. I then placed the rugged square at a 45 degree angle to the wall so it could dry. What a great toy for our kids. They run up it and jump on each other. The Pocket Rocket just launches herself into space when there is no one to jump on. They hid under it and attack anyone else that happens to be sneaking by. I have even seen them run up it and do the belly slide down. This is one of the best "toys' I have found lately. You should try one and they are really easy to make. Ferret Kisses from Tourie!
