The World's Largest Gummy Bear and Other Curiously Awesome Items

A package arrived via UPS the other day ... it was a box full of fun stuff. Grayson had found the Vat19 website and placed an order ... it included the WORLD'S LARGEST GUMMY BEAR ...

It looks like a jello mold, but this is all solid gummy! Cherry, our family favorite! Between the Blackham Bunch, lots of friends, and several days ... the gummy bear is now gone. (You can watch Vat19's video about the gummy bear here ... it's pretty funny). 

Also in the package were some magnetic Scrabble tiles ... 
this now adorns our refrigerator.

There were also these funky strawz ...

... and perhaps the HIT of the order, SPITBALLS ...

There was this little bag of unassuming clear balls. Place them in water and they GROW ... just dipping your hands in the water with the balls in (they were so clear you couldn't really see them, but you'd feel them) was an experience. But the real fun was playing with them. When they had grown a bit, they were bouncy ... when they were at full size, they would break when thrown. You can watch Vat19's funny video about them here ... our boys LOVED them and there were quite a few spitball wars going on (they even attacked ME, can you believe that?) ... I think we'll have to order more of these ... of course the kids also want another gummy bear ... or maybe try the gummy WORM next time ...

Why did Daddy order all this fun stuff? 
Grayson doesn't need a reason!
