Toy Laptop

The boys are so funny when it comes to a new toy and how desperately they want a turn with it, simply because it's new and in high demand.  Honestly, they act like a pack of wolves jumping on a fresh piece of meat thrown to them when they first set eyes on a single new toy (see first two pictures below).  This is similar to the way they pounce on the banana slices I first cut and put out on the blue table every morning before preparing the rest of their breakfast.  It's all about who gets there first and who gets the most (or plays the longest with the new toy).  So this morning I set out a new toy laptop and they went crazy as expected, but managed to each take a turn before eating.  After breakfast I was doing some laundry and noticed that things got very quiet.  I looked out on the deck and saw all 3 boys peacefully huddled around the laptop and thought, something doesn't seem right here.  I went over to find them giggling and working together in perfect harmony as they covered the bottom of it with stickers!  I thought, of course this type of teamwork trifecta only occurs when they are destroying something, haha.  I guess that's why it's a toy and not a real laptop!  I considered it more of an artistic attempt to personalize their new toy :)
