Friday Finds

We only hit up 3 tag sales this morning, but the finds were good! For a total of $14 we took home:

TMNT Wii game. Matthew thinks this is the best thing ever. He played a round with Matt tonight and even though he had no idea what he was doing, he had a blast.

Fisher Price Family Farm. All the pieces were there and it is in mint condition. It's not an antique - it's circa 2008, so Noah is allowed to throw/chew/droll on it as he sees fit.

Star Wars lunch box. I have 10,000 purses. Matthew is working on 10,000 lunch boxes. I guess I passed on that gene.

Lots of "little guys" - super heroes, random Star Wars figures, and one TMNT.

Diego's Rescue Submarine. Complete with Diego and an octopus. It's currently selling on Amazon for $47. Insane! 

Random Super Hero action toys. All these guys talk/light up/have buttons to push.

This Elmo phone. It lets you record and playback an answering machine message. Loud and obnoxious, but totally cute.

Barring any more massive storms tomorrow morning, me and the boys will hit up a few more sales in the AM - because, you know, we need more toys! :-p

Super heroes were babies once too...

 

 

School Days

Matthew's1st day of school - back in January. He looks so little/young, no?

Matthew's last day of school - today. He looks so much bigger/older (at least I think so!).

Grandpa just came to pick him up and take him to school today. He was uber excited to give his teachers their end-of-year present.

Now comes summer vacation!

Wordless Wednesday: Moving Up Day

You MUST MUST MUST go see Madagascar 3!

We went to see Madagascar 3 today. It was even better than I thought it would be - hysterical, fun, good story line. And, one particularly catchy song...


You're welcome. :-)

Constant Action

Matthew had his first school friend's birthday party on Saturday. It was at a place called My Gym (sort of a Gymboree knock-off). It was 2 hours of non-stop action (hence the blurry photos).

There was a slide that dropped kids into a ball pit.

Some structured exercise time.

Then it was time for "run through these padded blocks that we're throwing at you" (not very smallest-kid-in-the-class friendly, but Matthew thought it was hysterical).

The trampoline got quite a workout.

And all the kids went crazy for the bubbles.

Here's Matthew showing off his monkey skills.

There was the kid-favorite lunch of pizza and juice boxes.

And Spiderman cake for dessert.

And to end the party, every kid got a ride on the zip line.

The good thing about a party like this - leads to a nice long nap time!

Instagram Friday

Our week was pretty low key (which is okay by me - it was too hot to do anything too crazy!).

There was the usual kitchen play (this particular day was Spider Man vs. Super Grover - as per their t-shirts)

A visit from Matthew's best bud.

We got in some swing time.

Matthew discovered a new talent.

And we had fun while we ran around town doing errands.

Tomorrow we have Matthew's 1st ever little friend birthday party. He's super psyched. And I kinda am too!
