Thought of the day.
I wish I had one of these.... just like old times.




So I could put in mine and Michael's soon to be apartment. It would feel like 10 or 12 years ago. Not to mention I would get awesome hair. Something along these lines.... but much older of course.




Amy and I used to have inflatable chairs. They were fun. I'm not sure if they were more fun or equal to fun of our bean bag chairs, banana chairs, or the old couch with the huge hole in it, but they were fun. As with anything they had their pros and cons...

Pros:
* Bright and colorful. Who doesn't like opaque?
* What kid doesn't want to spend an hour blowing up their furniture?
* Cool concept.
* Bouncy is cool to any 10 year old.
* They came with a fancy removable head rest.
* #1 PRO = SIMPLY AWESOME!!

Cons are:
* Adam jumped all over them, causing them to get holes, causing contention, causing an upset mother.
* Couldn't sit all that close to the fireplace. Plastic and fire don't go well together I guess.
* Holes seemed to be problem and we only had packing tape to fix it.
* Took up tons and tons of room.
* Wearing shorts and sitting on an inflatable chair = uncomfortable leg stickage.
* They were really big so when you sat in it, you sat alone and far away from the person next to you. In my case, really far from Amy.

They made for a great present and are just another reason why Momma Linda are Poppa Ed are the coolest parents ever. I loved mine, and really wish it were still around. All the good toys always break, but that's life I guess.

I think the words of Amy sum it up nicely...
"Let's be honest - they were like a dream come true, just like our doodle bears."

Doodle bears..... those were the days.
