Bargain Score!!!

Another toy I've been on the lookout for this weekend was a play kitchen. The kids had a small one back in Evansville, but I didn't bring it with us and they have missed it so much. I almost bought a comparable one piece plastic kitchen, but the seller and I couldn't coordinate a meet up. I am so thankful it didn't work out!!! This morning I logged onto craigslist to find a posting just 30 minutes old for an amazing three piece wooden kitchen, similar to the ones I drool over in teacher's stores and pottery barn. The best part? The seller was only asking $50 for all three pieces. I was ecstatic! Aaron was so sweet to spend his evening driving down to retrieve my bargain and now the kids are happily playing.

Slightly blurring pictures because my camera can't keep up with all their busyness!

 I love the little market stand with chalkboards.....school,bakery, farmer's market, grocery store....so many possibilities!

 Perfect size for the boys!

I think she was explaining something to them here...

Trains, Planes, and....more trains.

Levi is a challenge to keep busy during the days here in the apartment. Its a great place, but three year old boys were built to run out of doors......where they don't drive their mothers insane. LOL Anyway, I've been on the lookout for some more good toys for him and found a great listing on craigslist this week for some more geotrax train. He loves the track he got a couple years ago at Christmas so adding to our collection made sense. :)

Party Time!

Rebecca had four of her new friends over today for a tea party. I think the pictures tell the story best.

. First, the girls decorated their own tea cups with oil based paint markers, while those were baking they played with the photo props and back drop. While Miss Lesli manned the camera, I set the table for tea. We sang to Rebecca of course, and then the girls dug into all the goodies. They took off to the bedroom to play baby dolls while we set the table for BINGO! I think it was a great party, fun to plan, and even more fun to share her special day with friends!
