I worked long hours all week, including about 10 volunteer hours and babsitting the boys and worked and worked on taxes every spare minute I had....I needed a break so I went Thrifting on Thursday and found this little treasure for $9.95!!! I had to remove the car seats from my car to get it in but I was determined and had a little fly by help loading from Kristen.
It is a Power Wheels jeep complete with battery and seats both boys.....I polished it up with Armorall and cleaned it up really good (after these pictures were taken)
I also found these three crystal candlesticks for my collection/projects and the cutest pull/push stick that has a king sitting on an alligator that chomps when you push it - total for all 4 = $2.00. Friday we had a big night at the Museum and I will post on that once I get the pictures - it was a magical night and I can't wait to share. I got up early Sat and finished up the prep on our portion and was ready to play - I felt like the weight of the world was off my shoulders....
The boys came over Saturday afternoon and while the battery was charging we played out front with the boys and pushed them all around the cul de sac in the jeep and got some good exercise and lots of laughs and fun.
Even Gramps helped push - the weather was perfect and we played all afternoon until dark and then came in for dinner and then we watch 'Stuart Little '- Brody was so into the movie, cheering and talking and all - I was watching him watch the movie. They boys stayed overnight and Sunday a.m. we all went to the swap meet and then came home and made Valentine Sunday lunch for the whole family for Sunday dinner a la Valentine theme....we had heart shaped sandwiches (egg salad and chicken salad) a wonderful new Asian salad I made and cheese cake with cherries on top.....I love this picture of Brody pushing 'Baby' in the jeep....to Brody Baby is his little brother friend and he shares everything with him.....
Not the best picture of the meal - but a fun lunch to make and it was nice enough to eat outside and enjoy the family.....
What is it about completing taxes that liberates me....granted I only completed the prep for our appointment later this week and still have my parents to do, but I feel so unburdened - so accomplished.....what accomplishments free you????
