we've lost our marbles!

Photobucket

I bought this giant jar that I love and have had a hard time coming up with what to put in it. A friend had a cute idea of using dominos. Then last night my sister Madison said, "Marbles!"
Perfect! I love marbles!
The hunt was on. I went out and bought as many marbles as my marble budget allowed and brought them home to the girls.
They couldn't keep their fingers out of them, staring at the colors and learning the names of the cool ones.
At first I was bummed I couldn't just fill my entire jar up. Then I got excited about collecting them and adding to our jar bit by bit. So for now we are marble collectors!

Cute idea!! I love marbles! I bet you find a bunch at the dollar store... my second home.

Be careful though! You don't want it to get too heavy inside! That jar is ADORABLE! Where is that from??

Probably a billion of them on ebay. That is what we used to play with in the days before the invention of the wheel.
