one person's junk, is another person's treasure

Archie McPhee has moved to Wallingford! The kids I nanny for have been begging me to take them for a visit. Today is Andrew's 5th Birthday so we spent the day doing all things Andrew! Started off the day going to our favorite play gym, unfortunately it was closed, but the park next to it sufficed. Went home to for PB&J's, green beans, cheese stick, and blueberries, all things Andrew picked for lunch. Went out for ice cream, and then wrapped up the day with a visit to Archie McPhee. If you haven't ever been it's worth a visit. The store is a kid's dream come true, tons and tons of trinkets costing around .30-.50 a piece. Yes, it's mostly junk but kids love it. They also have lots of novelty toys and great stuff for Halloween.

Some of my favorite things I saw today:

Bacon Gum
A Giant Cockroach
Breakfast Floss - 3 flavors coffee, bacon, and waffle
Nose pencil sharpener- stick your pencil up one nostril and the shavings come out the other!
Finger Traps
Bird Whistle- fill the whistle with water and blow, tweets like a bird.
