My "tummy" is getting quite large as of late. I step on things because I don't see them. Every shirt I wear gets a nice splatter of something near my belly button. Bending over is not an easy (or pretty) task, especially to pick up every little Hot Wheels car or plastic lizard.
I was at a friend's house, and the kids were playing with a toy version of a grabber. I remembered a post written by MeckMom that I had tucked away in my brain about a grabber of some sort that is handy for moms like me. I checked it out again and determined I needed a grabber myself! *cue angelic music*
Let me tell you, I LOVE this new toy! It makes picking up so much easier. I think I'm gonna start giving it to my friends for baby gifts. :)
If you're wondering...I got mine at Walgreens for $9.99. (It's technically called a Deluxe Gopher)
Kristen, you crack me up...my parents have the Deluxe Gopher as well!
ReplyDelete(though I think it was given as a gag gift for my mom's 50th!) haha!
i love it!
ReplyDeletespeaking of a plastic lizard...andrew left one there today. it's orange.
he was super sad when he got home.
so if you see it, capture it!
That is so brilliant! I'm gonna have to treat myself this time around!
ReplyDeletei love that you actually bought it! and the 'cue angelic music'-cracked me up. just don't start using it to pinch reid's bum...
ReplyDeleteLOL! That is awesome! I just tell my kids they have to do it or I'm getting out a trash bag. and like magic the toys are picked up off the floor. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma used to have one of those! :) You're funny! I hope you're feeling well and enjoying yourself! You're taking great care of that sweet little baby already! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteMeaning as cleaning up the house is about the only exercise I get, I suppose I'd better keep bending.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I love that you bought that!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny.Now you can also volunteer for community service freeway cleanup and have your own equipment!I just kick or 'nicely scoot' Gavins junk out of my way with my foot :)
ReplyDeletei have to confess. i just bought one at target.
ReplyDeletei covered my face as i paid for it but the angels were definitely singing when i got home and used it for the first time. HALLELUJAH!
its a shame i can't use it to pick up ethan too!
Oh your killing me. I am going to Walgreens tonight. I just have this saying if something falls on the floor right now, "Good bye forever"...
ReplyDeleteoh that is awesome, i'm glad you're doing something good for yourself these days. i'm this close to getting one for myself, too, but taking two kids anywhere these days just sounds like a major hassle:)
ReplyDeletethis also reminds me, that i think you, danielle and i are all due around the same time again! this time, let's coordinate and have the babies on the same day! how fun would that be?! and maybe they'll all be boys (we're still in the dark there)! and maybe we could name them all the same thing! the possibilities are endless.
