Bang for your bucks

The prize for the best five dollars I've spent this week goes to the Old Navy balloon and pump set. On an otherwise dull afternoon Zada and the neighborhood kids spent the better part of two hours blowing up ballons, making "shields" and then racing with them on.

Zada, Ashlee, Peanut and Birdy - we ran out of balloons for Bird's shield so he got to be line judge/flagman.
