Sometimes I’m amazed at how amused I can be by some of my kids toys. It’s as if we have all these little personalities hanging around the house; googly eyes, goofy crooked grins and furry bed-head. It often feels like at the most mundane moment something catches my eye that just plain makes me laugh.
Today, I urge you to go on your own cute overload scavenger hunt if for no other reason that to bring a little levity to Monday. We can all use a good giggle now and again.
Not a lot of ‘cute’ kids toys left in my life..but here’s a little adult ‘cute’:

i just came across these personable guys on a street in baltimore while on vacation, and they made me smile:

I’ll admit, this one is staged, but still makes me giggle. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theloushe/4386211972/

HA! It feels like I spend half my life taking pictures of cute toys and kitschy plastic ornaments because I’m at home with my one year old son 🙂 At least it means I have a lot of bright shots.

I love my daughter’s Littlest Pet Shops…they’re all over the house (no matter how hard we try to keep them contained!), so much fun to take shots of :)))

so sweet. love that little turtle. and such a fabulous photo of it.
the huz and i don’t have any kids yet, so my immediate thought upon reading this was that i had nothing to share. but then i remembered recently taking a photo of this little guy:

so i posted it today, as i thought it would be appropriate to share today. an explanation of it is under my photo.
I love taking pictures of my kids toys! Today’s totally overcast, and I think they look so much better in natural light. Iin case I don’t get any today, here are a few of my favorites:

A touch ironic, but cute nonetheless. Never fails to squeeze a smile out of our guests:

this is an old one… but it popped straight into my head:

and these pretty dolls were found at covent garden market… but are also pretty smile-worthy, i think:

I’m glad to see I’m not the only person out there snapping shots of my kids toys 😉
I like to do that too.
This is my own toy that someone gave me for Christmas after commenting that I had always wanted a set of nesting matryoshka dolls. She gave me this tiny set:

Thanks for the fun on this rainy dreary (in my neck of the woods) Monday morning.
I so needed this. thanks t.
My daughter used to arrange her toys in very creative ways. She still does, from time to time. If you click on the second photograph in this post, you’ll see what I mean:

adorable…
that did make me smile!
At our house, we have a tiny Elmo doll that follows me around giving me sinister stares because I dared to mention I wasn’t crazy about the Elmo character on Sesame Street. http://journeyleaf.typepad.com/journeyleaf/2009/12/wandering-elmo.html
Luckily, we also have a friendly Smooch Tiger.

Tee hee. Very sweet.
Here are some of mine, along with a musing or two 🙂

I love photographing toys… even find myself buying new toys to feed the habit. Here’s one of my favorites http://www.flickr.com/photos/maggie_gem/4511289126/in/set-72157621747711847/

I had a similar encounter with my little ones little toy a few months ago . . . and your post today reminded me of that time. You can see what I wrote on my blog here . . .

SO funny!
OOOH! I caught this post a little late in the week, but before I read anything I thought to myself, "My what a cute personality that little guy has!"
This is my Banana… he sits with me at my desk…
