Balloons are like baby-crack, but way better for them*

March 4, 2010 in PSF, family, fun, photostory friday, play

*unless of course they try to eat them, because that’s really, really bad.

We went out for dinner.  To a real restaurant.  With both kids.  It doesn’t happen often.

And, it was just what we needed.

After dinner, the wonderful, genius waitress bought us 10 more minutes at the table by bringing us some fabulous balloons.

In fact, it bought us at least 20 minutes of fun at home, too.

Playing hide “balloon head Izzy.”

And, then “peek-a-boo.”

and a cutie

Followed by “reach for the sky.”

come here, balloon

And then, “I almost got it” (times two if you look in the back).

so close, now.

Shortly after, some “I see you.”

I see you.

With a quick shot with mommy and “you can’t see me through this blue balloon.”

The look of the “determined balloon catcher.”

in her sights.

And, a baby gazing at her momma.

success.

So thankful for those extra balloon minutes at our house.  They sure made us all cheery.
So, maybe I should call balloons “family-crack.”

Balloons are so fun. You'd think it's Christmas whenever we have one in our house!

I'm afraid of those balloons!

These pictures are adorable! I'm always amazed at how kids love balloons… I worked in the handbag department at Nordstrom during college and we would always keep a stash of balloons from the kids shoes department so kids could be entertained while their mommy's shopped. Genius.

You definitely got your moment's worth out of those balloons, looks like you had a blast!

Could you lend me this balloon woman? You know, just for breakfast time? I love the title of your blog, wish I'd thought of that. x

That's too funny that you called balloons baby crack. It's true though, my kids will play with them forever.

Jessica March 5, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Those are too cute. It's funny how much kids love balloons, isn't it? Mine are older and they still love to play with them.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of that kind of family crack! Balloons are the gift that keeps on giving till they pop. So glad you guys had a night on the town with the kiddos.

So much fun with your cute little ones!

Amy March 5, 2010 at 11:17 pm

That's so fun! I love the "I almost got it!" look, with her little arms reaching for the balloon.

Semi-Slacker Mom March 5, 2010 at 11:27 pm

I love their red hair! Baby crack? LMAO!

Got my picture! 2 out of 3 kids still counts right?

Jonathan always loved balloons too…baby crack is a great way to describe it!

Kristen March 6, 2010 at 12:32 pm

I love the title for this post. Balloons provide hours of fun at many ages:)

Thanks for stopping by the family trifecta.

You have a wonderful blog and it's funny too!

Crystal @ Semi-Crunchy Mama March 6, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Baby Crack Balloons! I love it! And that's exactly what they are. These are all great photos, but that last one, with her big toothy smile, is just heart-melting!

Kat March 6, 2010 at 3:48 pm

I KNOW! My kids love balloons. Whenever my friend asks what she should get the boys for their birthdays I tell her to just grab a handful of balloons and stick them in a card. It works every time! THEY LOVE THEM! So fun! :)

Night Owl Mama March 6, 2010 at 6:15 pm

Such sweet pictures. Our kids love those punch balloons just as crazy fun

lisaschaos March 6, 2010 at 6:26 pm

They did have a good time with them! I know the grandkids love balloons too. :) Glad no one tried to eat one, lol.
