The first of October, Mike and Chase came home with Billy. Chase had found him at a garage sale and bought it. He was giddy with excitement. He set it all up in the yard, found tent stakes to make sure "he" wouldn't fall over. That day saw an elaborate game with all the neighbor kids with one team protecting Billy and the other trying to "kill" him by turning off his power source. I personally really, really don't like yard blow-ups. However, I pretended to like Billy-the things you do for your kids. Chase made sure he was one every night all month. Sadly, Billy is now gone. Till next year, Billy.

Billy looks like a great "boy toy" alright. I bet the kids DID have fun with him. I'm sure you're countig the days til he resurfaces...
Oh I was so sure you were going to say he disappeared because someone took him or something.
I think that is hilarious that you faked "liking" it. What a kind mom you are!
I have to say, Billy looks like he comes from my neck of the woods.
I'm so sorry.....
Why would you have to fake liking him? I think he rocks! The more yard blowups the better that's my motto.
Seriously though, I've always wanted one for Christmas time, and Jason always says not because they are too expensive. Maybe someday I will find one at a yard sale, one can only hope!
