laundry bottle ball catchers

three kids in the house on a sunday afternoon with no where to go and crying out 'mommy i'm booooored' every ten minutes, will warrant getting down and crafty.

for some reason, i don't always throw away my laundry detergent bottles right away and they pile up. hoarding much? but this time they came in handy.

from trash to treasure i'd say.

especially when keeping your kids entertained is priceless. so yea, that'd be a treasure for this momma.

simply cut off the top part, paint, let dry and start playing catch.

oh and if you don't have a small ball, roll some socks up and voila, you got a ball.

get in there and play too. honestly, it was a ton of fun. especially if you're a tad bit competitive.

like that kid up there. don't know where he gets it from. victory dance and all.

(i know my daughter looks like she's sad to have lost in the background. don't worry, she was simply rolling up the 'ball' up again.
