When stealing is OK

Pin It

Sometimes my kids steal my stuff.

A lot of the time it bugs me.

Sometimes it bugs me a lot.

Sometimes I could care less.

This was one of those times when i could care less...

You see, I actually bought a hamster wheel. It was 60 cents, half off. ....and we don't have a hamster.

I did have a plan for the wheel though, but before I could get to starting on it, my bebes stole it.

...and like I said before, it didn't bug me.

It didn't bug me because they learned about centrifugal force.

It didn't bug me because I think they had more fun with it than I did.

It didn't bug me because...well, who gets bugged over that type of thing anyway?

Me, that's who...I often let this type of thing bug me....but not today.

Today they played. Today I just watched. ...and today I was not bugged. Win-win-win.

Eventually, they got sick of the hamster wheel, and I went on to make my project .

(no, I can't show it to you yet...soon!)

win-win-win-win.

Along with the hamster wheel, I picked up this stand? thing? for 25 cents. I liked the shape and thought it might be fun painted bright kelly green or something. At the moment it works ok for storing office and art supplies. However, I think the boys could think of something more entertaining to do with it. Maybe I'll leave it out for them to "steal"...
