Squinkies

For Christmas Hailey received a huge collection of Squinkies; a popular toy for little girls. They are little rubber toys that come in individual plastic balls, just like the toys you get out of a gumball machine at the grocery store. She has a ton of them.

There is a hole in the bottom of each Squinkie so that it can sit on a little peg in a carrying case like the one shown above. Which Hailey owns.

This morning Hailey thought it would be fun to take all of her Squinkies into the bath for a little play time. About 30 minutes later I heard her yelling for me in the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom she was standing in front of the mirror staring at herself. I asked what was wrong. She turned to look at me and was covered in little red hickey marks all over her body. I asked, "What in the world happened?" She said, "If you squeeze the squinkies they will suction to your skin. I stuck them all over my body." Hilarious! She looked like she was covered in chicken pox.

I begged Hailey to reenact it for me so I could take a picture of her with squinkies suctioned all over her but she was too embarrassed. This picture was taken a few days later after most of the little red hickeys had faded away but you get the idea. Silly girl :)
