Erin
begins examination
After a
close look-they look like FROSTED FLAKES! 
actually
fits a grownup!
Toy
Day means FINGER PAINTING! (flashbacks to kindergarten)
Ready
for the art gallery
It takes
both of us to lift a giant
pumpkin from Erin's pumpkin patch!
Erin loves
Pirate Pumpkin!
What did kids play
with during the Renaissance? Remote control Jousters, of
course!
Honestly now, which mini-blind duster would you
rather use? The store version, or the Tim Edwards improved
version?
It's amazing the musical things you can do with the
Nose Flute, at Tim so deftly demonstrates!
Erin and some of
her rat friends.
Some people can
jump rope, some people can't. Tim can't. Not really
anyway. 





Erin tries out "Fit Flops" a complete workout just by
wearing these sandals! Check the warning on the close up!



Yes, it's true! With nothing more than a pencil and a
pocket knife a radio can be made from parts, cardboard, little wires
and some springy connector deelies!
See Erin defy gravity with the amazing Moon
Shoes!
Erin tries out the
"Fingerbeatz" device. Click here to
download a short Quicktime movie
demonstration!
We mark our Mess
Proclaimed "Star Trek Day" with Federation approved cake
Erin celebrates St. Patricks Day with her very own
named after herself shirt! (Or she's doing a Buddy Holly
impression)

Joe always seems to
be the lucky one stopping in on TOY DAY! On Slinky day, he even
demonstrates his skill in slinkying, AND singing the Slinky jingle!
Click his picture for a short but excellent video clip!
School
Superintendent Joe Silko once again takes time from his busy morning
to join in on Toy Day, seen here with the amazing dancing chicken.
Yes, we're doing the "Chicken Dance"

Erin intently
assembles her Pirate set. Most excited about the working canon, which
actually we have yet to see actually shoot anything!

Boomeranging
was
interesting. Tim's booms kinda came back, except the building got in
the way..onw is STILL on the roof!
Tim & Erin
model "Mauer-Burns" celebrating the infamous sideburns of Twins
player Joe Mauer.
Here are the 2
"Billy the Creepy Eyed Doll" snapshots. Headboard diving
And here we see the
80's fashion statement known as "Crochet"
Even better than
inexpensive toys, are FREE toys. Such as these nifty head toppers
from Long John Silvers. Oh, and no, we're not re-enacting a scene
from "The Shining" (redrum, redrum), those are our pirate
hooks!
As the Curb Feelers
entertain at the 2006 Minnesota Wild Road Tour in Grand Rapids, Erin
takes a moment to teach Marc Chouinard of the Wild how to play
"Louie, Louie" on the bass guitar.
Not sure what's going
on here, but there appears to be some confusion on Erin's part. See
more photos from several Wild Road Tours on the KOZY Photo Album
pages.


SAVE OUR
WORMS! Don't let the poor worms
and nightcrawlers die a needless death! When you find them in the
parking lot or on the sidewalk baking on the asphalt, drowning in a
puddle, and afeared of being squished by tires, pick them up and
gently return them to the lawn! it just makes the world a better
place for everyone!
You thought the 3D
fad had passed! Vinnie and the Stardusters were featured on the
morning show today, and their record came in a keen 3D comic book,
with the necessary 3D glasses of course. Only trouble is, after
reading for about 3 minutes, the 3D effect makes one feel
carsick!




Now you can see
just how teensey these are. Erin shows off her freshly constructed
pirate ship and fort. Ships, forts, teensey dice that were too small
to photograph..all in a little baseball card size package. Fun for
the entire family, as long as they're 8 or older!
Tim prepares to
"crank up" the original 1926/1927 version of "Are You lonesome
Tonight" on a genuine Victor Talking Machine Victrola. Yes, this is
the same song Elvis redid 30 years later.
Tims birthday gift
arrives...special delivery from Veneuzela..a genuine talking (more
like ranting) Hugo Chavez action figure!
Ready to celebrate St.
Patricks Day, decked out in our festive outfits, and Erin with her
"Leprechan" shoes and good luck socks!
Tim stands ready
to
fire the Stink
Blaster! Our official advice is
don't buy one! The smell is awful, and it takes about 3 days of
constantly washing your hands to get rid of the smell. Stay Away!.
Although, would make a great gift for your annoying next door
neighbors kids!

It seems that "The Thing" is a man made of rock from the Fantastic Four movie. Tim picked up the hands and feet set at our local Goodwill store, intent on springing it on Erin on toy day. Here, Erin demonstrates the attractive Rock feet, and District 318 School Superintendent Joe Silko (who innocently stopped in for an interview, having no clue he'd be talked into modeling) shows off the fierce look of the rock fists!
Actually, we had
hat day a long time ago, took this long to getting around to posting
a photo! Salute!



Can you
believe it? Erin is already @%*$% years old! Tim gives her these
lovely pony tail holders....from 1965...to celebrate the
occasion!
Just in
case a couple of Santa's reindeer conk out...replacements stand by to
make sure the toys get delivered. blinking noses provided by a
concerned listener.


Yes,
it's
true...the "New Relations" from Cedar Rapids, IA really did play
guitars made out of car mufflers. Think I'd kid ya about something
that inmportant?
It's
"Shocking Roulette" the newest game to take the world by storm! This
electrifying game asks those who dare to insert their finger. The
button is pressed, the lights ro 'round..the machine bleeps and
bloops...falls silent for a few tense moments..then....ZAP...and one
player gets an electrifying shock! Not a
game for the faint of heart....or anyone with a pacemaker! If ya
really want one, send me an e-mail and I'll tell you where you can get your
very own!












GAME ON!
With
the Spongebob vs. Sandy Karate set! Erin pretty much kicks Tim's butt
on this game!Erin takes time from the hectic
morning schedule to play with the Dracula playset
Erin looks on as vicious
captive field mouse struggles in vain to escape from this complex,
hand crafted mouse capture device consisting of Good Housekeeping and
a Coca Cola drink glass. Don't try this at home.
