Right before Brayden’s first birthday, I found this really great ball pit for ten bucks at a yard sale.  It had a huge garbage bag full of balls.  I was pretty excited about it.  So was he.  

We had it put away for awhile–it’s just a little on the big side, ya know?  And if you’ve ever been to my house, I’m sure you are aware that there is no shortage of large space-hogging toys.  

I thought about bringing it back out again yesterday.  I figured the boys would have a good time playing in it together.  So I did it.  And they do love it.  For sure.  But now I remember why I put it away in the first place –I’ve already picked up balls off the floor about twenty times.  They come spilling out of the tunnel anytime someone comes out.  And Brayden finds it entertaining to throw the balls up through the hole in the top.  I’m thinking that it’s going to be short lived.  For my sanity’s sake.  But for right now, I’ll let them relish in the ball madness.  

Here’s a couple of “now and then” pictures.
