Water Balloons Made Easy

May 22, 2012

My Mom finds the coolest things for my children. This one I had to share because it is a finger saver! They love to fill water balloons and have a fight {or hide them and blast their Dad when he comes home from work}, but I do not like all the time it takes to fill them and then the worst is tying those suckers.

I do not know where my Mom found this but it is called the Water Bomb Factory {Amazon sells one, but for more than my package says it cost}.

It comes set to attached to the side of something {like a table, but my kids used the side of a garbage can since the hose is right there}. Once tightened on you attach your house and turn on the water. You place your balloon on the valve and push down to allow the water to fill the balloon {and generally get you less wet, unless of course you push on the valve when there is no balloon}.

Now the super cool part. You take the filled balloon and wrap the neck around the “Quick Tie Arm”. It was a little tricky to figure out, although the directions were great. We just had one to many people reading the directions, if you get my drift.

Wrap around…

Then you pull the tip down through the middle holder…

And pull the balloon off the arm and you have a perfectly tied balloon ready to throw!

Cake Smash!

tags: cake smash, one year old, Photography

I recently took pictures of a one year old and I asked his Mom if we could do a cake smash. She agreed it would be great fun. The little boy was not quite sure what to do with himself, but once he got going he was set to eat and was trying to share with his Mom and anyone that walked in the room! Blue was everywhere by the end!

You can check out the rest here {and thanks to Jessica for the idea on the collage…}!
