Sunday, May 23, 2010

Yesterday, we went to a few yard sales....Daddy bought me this tent for $1.50. Mama was not happy...."why do we need another tent?....we are just collecting more stuff, etc." But, Daddy convinced Mama that it was a great idea for the beach. It packs up nice and small in a carrier and baby brother and baby sister can be in it shaded from the sun this summer. Michael (Zoe's Dad) said that he would even rent it for their camping trip. At $5 per night, maybe we will actually make a profit!

We also got the below Bumbo look alike for baby brother or baby sister, but Lucy was over last night and took it for a test drive....$4!

And, then this morning, I bought a $7 scooter (Spiderman) at the first yard sale we went to. We only went to one more and there was a Princess Scooter for $5....so we bought it in case I have a friend over who wants to scoot with me. I did a lot of scooting all over the Honda dealership.....this is me on the way to the used car lot. Yes, we are proud owners of a 2007 Honda Odyssey (Mama says "shhh, don't tell Gigi, it comes with a built-in entertainment system).

I also bought a Sleeping Beauty princess dress this morning for $1!! Here I am with Zoe last night.

Fun Day with Dr. Acacio, Part II

Every two years, our favorite doctor (Dr. Acacio) has a party in the park as a celebration of the creation of many families. The last time was two years from tomorrow. Here's the link.

From today's reunion, I made the OC Register newspaper with Dr. A!!

Unlike last time, I can now bounce! Amazing what two years can do.

Here we are with Dr. A (he is right in front of Mama). Mama has known the rest of the families here for five years!

There were many pictures taken....Dr. A's daughter asked me to sit on her lap and she is now "my friend". She is 7, I am 2 1/2 but I had so much fun with her. Even though Mama and Daddy tried to get me to go up the bouncy slide, I was scared. Not when N asked me....I followed her up and down and up and down (I am SO tired now).

Gardening 101

Mama wanted to plant flowers in the back garden on Mother's Day, but we never really got to it. So, yesterday, we went to Home Depot. We saw Dr. T there (she is the doctor who brought me into the world and will also take care of my baby brother and baby sister). Good thing we saw her because she had Foxgloves in her wagon and Mama and I thought they were beautiful. They were only selling them in the outside discount area, so off we went to pick some out. Our "garden" started out worse than above....that was a photo taken after Mama weeded 70% of the garden.

This morning, we planted. Mama did most of the planting....Daddy dug the holes. I helped water and move some dirt around.

And....here's our finished product! Next weekend, we will plant the strawberries and baby tomatoes we bought. We are going to plant them in pots. Maybe we will also plant some herbs from seed, but we have to go back to Home Depot to get them!

Yard Sale Saturday

Today, we only went to a few yard sales....one of them was in a neighborhood with over 40 houses selling their wares. There were matching Little Tikes cars....would have been perfect for baby brother and baby sister, but Mama thought it was a bit premature. I wanted to try it out and convinced Mama that I really "needed" it. At $10, it was a bargain. I played with it at home with Daddy. He walked and I rode. We went to Treasure Island, the park where we saw Dora and Boots, Costco and Trader Joe's.

Then, today, when we got home from the party, I took my baby with me to the park. The car even comes with a carseat for my baby. I strapped her in and we were ready to go.

Now, Mama wishes she bought the other one .... but one is probably enough. By the time baby brother and sister are interested, I will be too big!
