Day of the Penguins

The other day I was in Target and I saw these penguin pool toys that I just knew K & O would love. On a whim I bought them each one. With Owen having been sick yesterday and still not 100% today (Braydon is going to post about that soon), today was purposefully a low-key day at home with no plans and no outings. I thought it would be the perfect day to bring out these little penguins. Seriously... NEVER have the boys been so enamored with any one toy. Ever. We were at the pool by 10:00 this morning, and other than taking time to eat lunch and nap the boys played with these penguins in the pool non-stop the entire day until 6:15 p.m. I have never seen anything capture their attention like these two penguins did today. The penguins were cheap -- like $3 each or something -- and they have battery operated propellers that make them swim underwater. Seriously, the boys adore them. All day today they played with "Black Penguin" (Owen's) and "Red Penguin" (Kyle's). Granted, Owen was not at full throttle today, but still... for two kids with an attention span of about 10-15 minutes MAX... the Day of the Penguins was quite something to witness.
