little outing

Between trent & I being sick...

we decided to get out of the house a little on Wednesday afternoon. Without a fever, but not ready to be back to school- cabin fever was setting in.

We ran down to the local Target & checked out the Transformer isleI was reminding him- we are "just looking" over & over, because the amount of Transformers in this house is obscene. I refuse to buy one more. Between Christmas, birthdays, & sticker charts I think we own them all.Just when I thought Transformers were the most obnoxious things around-

I see this-

Holy Hell-

what in the world?

This is disturbing on so many levels.

I think the sight of this in the kids "toy isle" is what put possible me over

the edge.

Thursday my cold was in full bloom.

Thankfully my dear friends still let me come to creative Thursday- knowing how badly I needed to get out of the house.

then, tonight Janae brought us dinner.

Oh my goodness- I didn't realize how much I needed this.

It was wonderful- thanks janae!

I think I've seen the worst of this cold... I hope.

treasures

A couple of weeks ago, when we were at my in-laws house.

We found some treasures there.

Grandma had a bag of cars.

She let Trent bring them home & look what was inside.Do you remember these?
I do & I am all smiles having them at my house now.
I like this girl with the braids & the dog.
I think I may have chewed the braids off my own.
I'm glad Brett didn't.

These remind me of the good ol' days.
Days when I dreamed of driving my own car-
you know back when gas was only .47 cents a gallon.
That's the lowest I remember being a kid.
My sister Ruthie & I had the farm house, play house & school.
I loved them then & I love them now. I wish I had them still.

I'm trying to think of a great way to display/store these treasures.
Any ideas?
great news-- Chloe says she saw the playschool out in Grandma's garage!

* do these look familiar to you?
*did you play with them too?
*do you think someone will try to rob me?
Brett says someone might after reading this.
