Sorry Kids. Toys Don't Last Forever.

EXCEPT FOR THIS TOY

We bought this little house over 8 years ago for Kale.
It was $17.99.
Now back when we bought it $17.99 was a huge purchase for us.
It wasn't his birthday. It was no where near Christmas. It was just for fun.

AND FUN HE HAD!

After awhile (when I got completely tired of picking balls up from all over the house) we put it in a bin and packed it up.

And when Kristopher was 1 and would only say "ball" we pulled it out of the bin and set it up again.
(Really I looked for pictures - but couldn't find any proof)
And once again when I got tired of picking up balls from all over the apartment we packed it back up.

So when a friend called the other day and asked if we had any of those "plastic balls" she could borrow for a birthday party I again pulled out the blow up house and set it up for Karalyn.





Who knows how long it will stay up.
Who knows if it will survive past Kara.
Who knows if there will be another Jibson baby to pass it down to.
But for now one little girl is LOVING IT!
