Fleeting Owls

On Sunday morning we gave the boys some Owl window clings to put up in the playroom (they love owls!).  I was really surprised that they immediately took them over to the sliding glass doors and were using them correctly.  Especially Spencer, he didn't try and put anything in his mouth and acted like he was a pro at decorating with window clings!  For a good 30-45 min they had fun trying them out in different spots, positioning the eyes and wings in just the right places, and adding the final touch with a few snowflakes.  And since there were 3 owls, each with it's own accessories, there wasn't any fighting.  I knew it was too good to be true...a couple hours later when Ryan and I were out in the family room we came back in to find the owls ripped apart and strewn all over the floor.  I can see how it's probably irresistible to a toddler to rip that stretchy gel stuff - funny how they waited to an opportune moment when Mommy and Daddy were out of sight!
