save your money, silly bandz people...



everyday, when my boys go to tennis camp, they come home with more and more silly bandz (which is fine by me...'cause they're fun, and, you know, silly).  so i thought i would be a "fun mom" and buy them some of their own.   i was excited to find some thomas the tank engine silly bandz (see 2 posts ago for why that would be exciting).  i pulled them out this morning to surprise them and they are really cool and it's fun to look at the different shapes (trains, cranky the crane, harold the helicopter).  there is just one issue...they are huge!  way too big for tiny little wrists and 3 of the 5 designs are even WAY too big for ME.  i guess in order to make really involved shapes they need to use more rubber, but they are too big.  i tried doubling them over but then they are a little too tight---even for soren.  they really wanted to wear them so i let them go off to camp with their doubled over, too tight silly bandz.  i am just hoping that the teenage tennis coaches are with it enough to notice if soren's hand is turning purple or spontaneously severs (happens all the time)...'cause i've already paid for the whole week of tennis camp.

wow, i've never seen the huge ones. we have a collection but, if anything, some of them are way too small.
