Little stand-up Busytown vehicles

  

This was just a fun and simple little project. I scanned a few pages from one of  Richard Scarry's Busytown books, printed them, glued them on cardboard with mode podge, then covered the top of the pictures with mode podge, let them dry, cut them out, taped little cardboard triangles to the back so they would stand up, done! He loved playing out stories with them. 

As I was peeling potatoes for dinner this afternoon I have found the strangest potatoes in the potato bag. 

For example look at this guys here: 

Or this one. Looks like a big fat W. 

 

Okay, so I dont want to gross out anybody with this story, so if you are the fainty type, stop reading NOW. 

Benjamin had ear tubes put in two years ago. One of them fell out about a year ago. 

This morning I took a flashlight and looked into Benjamin's ear, wondering about the other tube that hasnt fallen out yet. Sure enough. That little blue thing was sitting in his ear canal, I could see it! So after a few tries I managed to gently get it out with a q-tip. Benjamin was COMPLETELY EXHILARATED when I told him that there was a little blue tube in his ear... then when I finally got it out he couldnt stop laughing and screaming of excitement!! (and probably relief) Thus the big grin on his face below.
