Why I Am Drinking A Cosmo Before 5 PM
Two words -- Lite Brite. Oh. My. God.
I LOOOVED Lite Brite when I was little, but as a mom I want to throw its sorry choking hazard little ass out the window. Though honestly, the fact that it has all those little chokeable pieces has nothing to do with why I hate it. In fact, one of my children choking on a tiny blue piece of plastic might actually break up the unbearable monotony of having to DO the Lite Brite in the first place.
The good thing about it is that the boys are really good about doing it together, which is a major miracle. So that part I like. The bad thing about it is that approximately, I don't know, every 20 seconds or so, 90% of the pieces fall from the table to the ground, and since we have wood floors, they go EVERYWHERE. And every 50 seonds or so, there is some little lettered hole that they cannot punch through with their child-sized two-and-four-year-old-hands, so guess who ends up doing most of the design? Any guesses? Yup -- me.

At least on a wood floor you can sweep the little Lite Brite pieces into a dustpan to pick them up. On a carpet,you have to pick them up one...by...one...
If your boys ever do Playdoh, though, my mom had a great trick. We could play with it as often as we wanted, as long as we were outside, on the picnic table. Little dried up pieces of Playdoh are even worse than Lite Brites to pick out of a carpet.
She also gave us popsicles in the bathtub. Make a mess, and clean it up at the same time! Like magic!
