Our New Toy

I was at a friend's house the other day and commented on something she had that looked really fun. She immediately said, "Do you want it?!" almost sounding excited to get rid of it. It was huge. But it was one of those things that I have actually been considering purchasing and have been looking for online for a while.

It was a fun HUGE bean bag!

Only it's not a bean bag. It's filled with some kind of foam... like those memory foam mattresses, only puffier. Her husband sounded glad that they could get rid of it too. He had received it from a vendor (he works at furniture store) as a sample (with all the air sucked out and in a small box... unbelievable).

I called home to get permission from my minimalist husband, who said, "Use your BEST judgment." Which really means (mostly) "No." So I used my very best judgment and brought it home right away :)

We have already discovered many fun uses!

1. You can snuggle on it (he's pretending he's snoring here):

2. You can read on it:

3. You can wrestle on it:

4. You can tickle on it:

5. You can watch movies on it in the garage and not freeze your tushy off:

6. You can nap on it


7. You can swing from the ceiling and land on it.

Thanks Peter and Kari :) The "kids" all love our new toy!
