only one ball was harmed in the making of this photo gallery.

200 phthalate free balls.

no idea what phthalate is.

or why it's good to be free of it.

but i assume some mom somewhere fought for balls to be free of it 

for some third limb growing syndrome that i should be informed of.

all i know is that last wednesday those 200 phthalate free balls 

provided 4 hours of constant play for my 3 children.

and then another 2 hours the next morning.

they are now hiding in my coat closet.

for such a time when i will need their assistance again.

heaven bless phthalate free balls.

all 200 of them.

did i mention there are 200 of them?

and the next day...

{yes, 2 out of 3 gibson's are wearing their star wars costumes.}

{Halloween fitting.}

...

note:

only one ball, a purple ball, 

was harmed in the making of this photo gallery.
