He calls packing peanuts puffaloes. (rhymes with buffaloes)
I was making lunch.... the little girl was reading....
he was making puffalo soup.
That's when I heard some shuffling and the vacuum cleaner turn on...
Oh my.
That boy.
He can keep a mama on her toes for sure.
But when he told me he was just cleaning up puffalo dust, I stood back and let him go.
Happy Friday friends..... enjoy your weekend.
So funny how they just take charge & make a decision!

It was long overdue, right? I finally got Grandma's package mailed.... he played with puffaloes all afternoon. I new it was a sign to get the camera out before we forgot....

I think we'll be calling them puffaloes for quite some time :)

I'm thinking it may end up like something in a Dr. Suess book where all the rugs and furniture are inside the vacuum cleaner! Haha!

How true! I seriously thought he was vacuuming the puffaloes when I first heard it turn on! This guy has a way of snapping me to attention fast!

Did you know that if you give him a wet washrag and sit him down at the table with those puffaloes, he can stick the ends to the wet rag and then stick the ends together and make/build things? My kids love to do this.

We did! He found they stuck to his cheeks like this too..... now that would have been a photograph to share!

Some of his puffaloes' dust made it all the way to Duluth. I think he should come up here with that vacuum and a capture that dust. :)
