...And Even More Treasures

This morning we were off early to pick up our playhouse in Oceanside.  We took the scenic route- Gopher Canyon Road, it is so pretty that way- the people lived near Guajome Lake.  It was a nice misty drive.  We met Larry there and he helped us bring our playhouse home.  Oliver was very very excited!  Mommy still can't believe she actually got this one- it is exactly the one she has been wanting- and she doesn't search for playhouses that often on craigslist.  We came home and put it in the backyard.

We visited with Grammie for a bit- Oliver played with her while Mommy took her Y break.  Mommy rushed back to get Oliver so we could go to the bi-annual Parent Connection Swap Meet.  We needed some essentials for our daycare.  When we got there it was 20 minutes before they closed up shop.  Perfect time for bargaining.  We got our essentials and Oliver got to pick out one thing- he picked out a truck of course.

We came home and were busy bees in the backyard.  We put the porch of the playhouse back together, pulled some weeds, and worked on the garden beds.  We played for a bit with some stuff in the playroom too!  This weekend was fun!  Oliver fell asleep really fast after our chapter tonight!  Sweet dreams.

Excited little boy-still in his jammies.

 Our Playhouse in "pieces" at home.  Mommy was going to help

Larry carry it to the backyard.  But Mommy's neighbor magically 

appeared in the driveway and asked if we needed help.  (Mommy

wonders how he knew or if was just a coincidence...)  He can't really

see Mommy's driveway from his home and he usually isn't out on

our little street.  Mommy is so lucky to have such nice neighbors.

 Paying for his truck.

 Oliver with his new toy.

 We got another lawn mower.  The lady saw us glance at it

and she said she would give it to us for a $1.  We couldn't pass

it up.  Now the toddlers won't fight over who gets to push 

the mower, because we will have two!

 Mommy's favorite section.

 Love that old chest.  All the stuff is really neat, but

kind of too expensive for this swap meet...

 We needed to find two play yards for napping babies

and toddlers.  We got both of them and were able to

get good deals on them!  

Mission Accomplished.  We also got a vacuum cleaner

for the kids to push around the playroom.  Cute.

 Our Playhouse.  Still can't believe we got it!

 The porch in pieces.

 Good thing Grandpa got Mommy her own

little toolkit for Christmas.

 Oliver working.

 And Oliver not working...he was climbing out of 

Mommy's bedroom window...

...which is weird, because there is a door that leads to

her room too.  Oliver is such a monkey.

 Our playhouse all set up.

 The porch.  We were missing some screws so

its not perfect.  Mommy will need to have someone

look over it, so it it safe for the kids.  For now it's okay.

 Window and window box.  Oliver was already putting flowers in it.

 The inside.

Playing in the playroom. Some of our eggs in a basket.  

Mommy wants to use this strawberry basket for some kind of

craft.  She found some good ideas on the internet. (Fun stuff.)
