Yesterday was another spud day and this time we didn't go anywhere or do anything exotic, unless you include the deployment of the spud's bouncy castle.
This thing was a present from a really good friend who snapped it up for the princely sum of £8. She left the price tag on so I'd know she hadn't spent a bundle and I can testify that the label really did ready 'Bouncy Castle: £8'. It fills all the floorspace in his bedroom, is about 5 feet high and takes half an hour with an electric pump to inflate. My friend and her two year old came over alog with another friend and HER two year old and it was madness. We had to use every cushion and duvet in the house to protect bouncing baby heads from nasty furniture corners - his room looked like '1001 Arabian Nights on Acid'.
You have never seen three toddlers so hyped up as three toddlers razzed up on chocolate biscuits with unlimited access to a bouncy castle. So hyped up that nap time completely disappeared, but so exhausted by the end of the day that we had an actual sleep-through night - two in a row, hold the front page.

oh I know those days! The kind of day where one starts to wonder if it is bedtime for the kiddies yet? lol!
With the exception of the baby, no one takes a nap anymore, unless they are riding in the car. The car works wonders on cranky kids! Of course, one has to put up being trapped in the car with cranky kids before they finally fall asleep. :o)
At least the Spud had fun bouncing around with his friends! :o)
I think I need to get me one of these castles of sleep inducing bounciness!
Jenny - I still, to this day, have no idea how you do it. However that trick of putting a wrangy child in a car to put them to sleep? Magic!!
Laura - I'm sure they're on sale all over the place... I wish I could have it inflated all the time, what a great thing.
So fun for the Spud and his friends!
I so know what you mean about using extra cushions, pillows etc...they are more like 'breaky' castles really...
