Bargain Hunters

As the weather has gotten warmer, our weekly tradition of seeking out yard sales has started back up. The kids get excited when we tell them, "Tomorrow we're going to some yard sales!" This year they have had good reason for their excitement; we've found some really fun stuff for them for some really great prices. Just last week we found this Power Wheels Jeep, and it only cost us...

$3.00

Ethan had been begging to get a scooter, but with all the other toys, Brooklyn has been the one getting really good at riding it. And it only cost us...

$2.00

We've been hoping to find a bike for Ethan to ride. We got this one at our community yard sale yesterday, and he's already spent countless hours riding back and forth between our driveway and the neighbor's (and he's very good at staying within these boundaries we've set for him). The bike, including training wheels only cost us...

$5.00

A few years back, we got a Little Tikes "cozy coupe" (the red and yellow Flintstone style car) that both kids love to drive. When we saw this mini van, we just had to grab it so they could each have a car to drive. Ethan's favorite thing about this one is that it has a "trunk" that he can store his toys in while he drives. Brooklyn's favorite thing about it is that she can use the trunk as a back seat that she uses to hitch a ride with Ethan. And it only cost us...

$5.00

We feel like our kids are already getting really spoiled this year, but for a grand total of $15.00 we can't help ourselves.

And now for something completely different:

The other day, Ethan went poop in the toilet just after a lunchtime quesadilla. When he was done, instead of yelling his standard, "Mom, I went poo-poo," signaling to us that he needs help wiping, he yelled out, "I see a big poop and some little ball poops. I think the big one was my tortilla, and the little ones were the cheese!"
