We're Having A Ball! WFMW

I have a very addictive personality. I can become obsessed with something pretty easily; take blogging for example.

My latest addiction involves what my 7-year-old daughter received from Grandma for her birthday.

It's a cool marble track that you build, and then the marbles can go down the different paths and twists and turns.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I have gotten up in the morning and played with this by myself before the girls were ready for school. You can't imagine the satisfying rush of creating a tower four feet tall with four different routes for the marbles to travel. Then I like to place the funnel piece near the end for all the paths to converge into. All the marbles will spin forever in that section before finally dropping into the tray at the bottom.

I'm getting the shakes and starting to sweat just writing about it.

Our girls like it too, as do other kids who traipse through our home.

I'm not sure where my mother-in-law got this set, but there's a website on the box: http://www.mindwareonline.com/

Now I have to go build another track. Will someone call the office for me this morning and let them know I won't be in? Tell them I lost my marbles. Thanks.
