Thing #9847539 To Do In A Small Town

Well, it has been a week tomorrow since we moved into the new townhouse! Im sorry for not posting any pictures yet, but I promise they are coming soon (me being the perfectionist that I can be, I dont want any pictures to be taken until I have everything the way I want it...)!

Jesse went to the lake with his parents for Memorial Day, I went ahead and made the drive back to my parents house for the weekend (I needed to pick up a few more things for the house anyway). Tonight after dinner I went with my mother to get something from the town's dollar store, and boy did we find some INTERESTING things...actually some were quite reminiscent of my childhood, but then, there were some that were just...well...hilarious.

 Does anyone remember these? The little yellow things are tiny straws and the tubes had this sort of putty in them...you take the putty and ball in up on the end of the straw, blow, and you have a plastic balloon! Ok, it doesn't sound as cool now, but I LOVED these things when I was about 10...

These were another favorite, but when I was a little younger...I could never wait to see what they were so I would always end up peeling off the plastic early.

Every kid loves putty, except when you best friend slaps a big wad of it in your hair...Thats another story though.

What kid didn't have these on their ceiling at some point, really!

Every parents worst nightmare...

I always loved this kind of thing when I was little...I had beads EVERYWHERE. I guess it was the crafter in me...

Ok, so Ive shown you some of my favorite childhood toys, now its time for the good stuff...seriously guys...some of this stuff is just weird.

In case you cant read this...it says BEADBUG spray!!!! I don't know about you, but I think this little travel size bottle would be great on my bedside table...NOT! Or maybe to take with you to some of your less lovely hotels?

The face on this cat makes me laugh every time I see it...

Wouldn't you just love a couple of these wonderful pieces of art in YOUR yard? I believe they are toads...but I'm honestly not sure...

And finally, Mint Thin, the ugly cousin of Thin Mints...

Do any of you remember these toys? Do yall ever go to your local dollar store and look at all the the weird things that they have? Do yall even have a dollar store? And if so, have you ever seen anything stranger than my wonderful items? Haha.
