Toys, Toys, and More Toys

I just brought home a new toy for Lucy and Ricky.  This is nothing out of the ordinary.  Lots of days I bring a new toy home for them.  As you can see, they love it, and appreciate it so much! 

You can, of course, buy toys in the usual places, like PetSmart and Petco.  But you can find great bargains at unexpected places like Target, Tuesday Morning and even Big Lots.  But the best toys and best bargains come from TJMaxx, Marshall's and Home Goods.  Now that I've discovered they have toys, I can't seem to stay away.

The puppy's toy basket is overflowing...

But the novelty of a new toy wears off pretty quickly.  At first, they are both in love with it, playing with and sharing it, and then eventually fighting over it.  Then, the toy becomes boring for them. 

With so many toys around, I just put the boring toy down at the bottom of the toy basket, we all forget about it for a week or so and play with something else, and then sort of rediscover that toy later.

There's almost always toys in pictures that I take of the Ricardo's.  It's sort of a "Where's Waldo" game.
Altho the toys aren't nearly as hard to spot as Waldo always was.
