So, this is the new hype here in Maryland... sillybanz. Little rubber bracelets in different shapes. Example- you can buy a packet of "animal" or "vehicles" and inside will be a bunch of different rubber shaped animals or cars/trucks, etc. A package of 12 is 1.99 and a package of 24 is 4.99.
Anyways, it's was the craze at Carter's school so he did some jobs, saved his money, paid his tithing and off to Hallmark we went to buy some. Bryce of course jumped right on board and did the same. Here are the boys showing off their purchase. Bryce chose zoo animals and Carter chose cowboy. Each came with 4 of each shape. Example: cowboy hat, horseshoe, bucking bronco, star...
They come that way so kids can trade and get some of each "theme."
After a "juice stand"(b/c I don't buy lemonade), the boys had enough to buy more. Carter bought Disney characters and Bryce chose glow in the dark (oooo-ahhhh) summer theme. Suns, sandcastles, etc...
They like to trade them with friends- or just give them away- or just accept from those who are giving to them. Very fun and luckily this fad is cheap. :)
From April, Carter is beginning to lose interest a little bit (we'll see when school starts up again in the fall), and Bryce is still really into them and likes to play the "sillyband game" that he made up with a friend. Apparently you roll it up and each guess what it is.
Silly little pieces of shaped rubber. What a genius idea...

Now if we could just come up with something as simple as this we could be rolling in the dough. The boys are getting so big and so stinkin cute! I'm hoping we'll be a little closer to home when you come visit so I can see how big your kids have gotten. (and you and brady of course!)
This is not just a Maryland thing--it is country wide. We have a million at our house too. They are great tools of bribery. And now Walmart has generic ones for $1 a pack!
The weird things kids like....
