My sweet husband brought me home this $9 "Mugen Puchi Puchi" (everlasting Bubble Wrap) from Japan. It's a tiny bubble wrap simulator that tries to imitate the feel & sound of popping bubble wrap when you hit the buttons. Quite fun and creative concept, but it's just not the same as stomping on it. Evidently, these are all the rage in Japan as you can see from the TV ad below.
Here's a great demonstration of the puchi puchi on Youtube
He also brought me this alarm clock that he found in Akihabara (the electronics district) in Tokyo. When the alarm clock goes off, the flying saucer takes flight, and the only way to make the alarm clock go off again is to find the flying saucer and stick it back into the clock. Can anyone guess why he might have bought this for me? Actually, I can't remember the last time I woke up to an alarm clock rather than a kid!
This broken stroller wheel was my present from the airline on our flight home. My double stroller is my lifeline and especially when we travel. You should have seen us trying to get through the Phoenix airport on our layover with a three-wheeled stroller, three young kids (one who can't walk), four carry-on bags, and a carseat. That turned some heads!

I LOVE the Japanese presents. So sorry about yours. I hope someone helped you, but I can imagine you were all on your own.
I love the alarm clock! That is awesome. I'm so sorry about your stroller. Did the airline reimburse you?
Hey Owens...How are you?? Your girls are so grown up and sooo cute. It looks like you all had fun on your trips:-)
