While I was waiting for kiddo to brush his teeth I took a couple old tube socks with holes and tied them together in the middle.

Kiddo took one look at it and said it was a bunny. Tada, 10 minutes of entertainment for free.

Consume 33cent chubby soda.

Toss some rice in the dry, empty bottle and glue the cap on.

Instant shaker.


We should have a DIY Toy link. Pretty easy to make some wooden ones.

Cut 2x4 in shape of truck using hobby saw.
Cut 4 circles, drill holes.
Buy dowling cap (maybe 25cents each?)

Bam, a wooden toy with no glue or chemicals. Can bathe in vegetable oil if you want to seal the wood a bit naturally.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Hah, my guy will happily watch any new game, but especially if it involves running around whacking monsters.

He's gotten pretty good at finding flash games for himself though. Mostly racing and puzzle games. If not those he'll play Minecraft.
