4500 cotton balls

I had about that many in my great room today and that's not a typo. I bought 500ct bags in bulk for a donation for a community project, but had ten bags left over. I gave 3 bags to each of my children and let them have an indoor snowball fight. I got some great video and photos. And a headache. And little fuzzies everywhere. I'm still undecided if this was extremely cool of me or just plain dumb. lol

Re: 4500 cotton balls

  • Extremely cool.  One day this summer when it was literally 110, I let DD throw raw rice all over the kitchen floor.  She laughed like crazy for at least an hour.  It was a giant mess, but a huge win.

  • That is cool! But I don't have to clean it so I don't get the dumb feeling I would if it was my house.

    Compared to others things, I guess it wasn't that bad. We've made bigger messes painting and such. It was just a widespread mess. But nothing got stained or broken so that's a plus!

    Totallty cool. I'm glad I don't have to clean it either.
  • Thanks for the coolness votes:)

    I have to add that the two boys fell alseep quickly tonight. They ran and jumped themselves right out of their last bits of energy. Having trouble getting the kiddos to sleep? Buy large quantities of cotton balls.
