Mr Potato Head

Today was one of those days. Planets in disarray, or something like it. Thick, black rain clouds hovered all day. Multiple toddler meltdowns and loads of wet washing, refusing to dry. Then I think the lowlight occurred when I came to pay for a bundle of 'must have' grocery items at the self serve checkout and my wallet... was sitting next to my laptop at home. I have never done that before. I always meticulously double check my bag before leaving the house. Phone, car keys, wallet. Guess there's a first time for everything. And it was one of those days.

Angus received a Mr Potato Head game for Christmas. Filled to the brim with about a thousand pieces. Body parts and accessories for Mr & Mrs Potato Head and even their pet cat and dog. I'm fond of Potato Head, he's been around for as long as I can remember and I love the toys that remind me of my childhood. Of course, there was a highlight to the ho hum day and it came courtesy of Master Felix (aka: Mr Potato Head). Into the kitchen, he waddled hysterically, wearing a pair of miniature spectacles. Straight from the Potato Head collection. As rubbish as the day had been, I couldn't help but chuckle heartily at the cheeky character before me.

  1. Awwww, love it. Those photos would definitely brighten your day. Santa brought a Mr Potato Head for my youngest little boy this Christmas. I can't believe our household has gone thru 11 years without a Mr Potato Head actually now that I think about it.

  4. Oh Julie I've done that!! 3 times actually :-) I've driven all the way to the mall without my wallet, I've been at the grocery store with 4 cranky kids with my wallet but no credit card in it and of course no cash, I've also filled up with petrol without my wallet. Both embarrassing and inconvenient! But I love Mr Potato Head and these photos brought a smile to my face too. Very cute xx

  10. Felix is a hoot! I remember that from when I was a kid - I like it when a few games hang around from our childhood days like good old monoply & scrabble! Glad that your day had a little bit of a light heartedness to it - I had a great plans for a beach day on Saturday but ended up all day with in bed vomiting with migraine ...so your day was better than mine!

  12. Oh Julie, Sam does exactly the same thing! His head is too wide for them now so they don't stay on very long but he's sooo attached to them. Funny boys ☺. J x
