Kennedi's new ride...

Chris did not have to work until this afternoon so we hopped in the car this morning and drove by a few yard sales. I am not much for doing this but I think maybe I could get used to it.

We stopped by one that had a kitchen set that was priced at 60.00. They told us they would take 40.00. We almost got it but decided not to, we could always go back to get it if it was still there.

We drove down the road a little and saw another one that had some outside toys. Chris spotted a Barbie Jeep right away. If you know Chris, you know that he is a jeep guy! He has a jeep that he is about to give up in November when Conner turns 16 (it was his idea). He went right to the jeep (and so did Kennedi). The guy told us it was 50.00 and that it still worked (charger and battery were right there). Then the guy said or make me an offer so I do not have to take it back inside. Of course Chris like this (he is also a bargainer.. which I hate to do). So he offered the guy 40.00.... SOLD!

Kennedi is now the owner of a new (to her), 40.00, Power Wheels Barbie Jeep... and she LOVES it.



I guess the next step is going to be Chris being the new (either new or new to him) owner of yet another jeep... more to come on that one later...

"Weeee," says Kennedi!

The other day Chris and I went shopping. Chris LOVES to shop!! (Can you sense the sarcasm)? Actually he doesnt mind it and I do not have him go with me too often but Kennedi really needed some things to play with outside. She is really hurting for the big things.

We headed to a few consignment stores and sales and we did pretty good. We still have a few things on the list that we want to get her but she was excited to see one thing we got.

checking out her new slide...

it took her about 20 seconds to figure out what to do

here she goes!

climbing back up, the wrong way of course!

yes, I know I cut off half her body. I wanted to get a picture of her new teva's. I spent a lot of money of these (a whole 1.00 at the sale) so I wanted to be sure I got a picture. She loves them and they have ladybugs all over the straps.

It's just another Saturday on the homefront

Ahh it is here once again! The rain I mean, well, it not here at the moment but earlier tonight it was. One road in my neighborhood was flooded when we came home from running an errand but other than that it really was not too bad, at least nothing compared to last weekend.

Now I am sitting home watching the Auburn game on TV. The boys decided they did not want to go to the game today. With it being a late game and the rain that was supposed to come in they decided the other day. I was a little bummed but at the same time OK with it. Chris had to work today so it would have been just the boys and I. It would have been a late drive home since it was a 6PM CT game and then ended up being delayed 30 minutes (again) because of rain. If we went it would have been another 2am night. Good Call kids!!!

Today was an easy sports day. With Conner's tournament being cancelled due to the rains last weekend we only had Avery's lacrosse game to go to. Avery played great! His team won 14-8 (I think it was) and of course Avery played defense. He loves it back there because, in his terms, "I can lay people out". Hey.. whatever it takes!! The boy is not even 70 lbs soaking wet and will take out boys twice his size.

Well I guess that is about all, I need to go out and pick up Conner from a friends house (at halftime) and then I am home for the night. Conner seems to never be home anymore. Friday nights he is at the football games and then Saturdays he is often over a friends house (or friends are here). I cant wait to get the basement finished so they will have a great place to go and hang out. We just need to sell that other house... any buyers out there?!?!

Have a great night, what is left of it!!

WAR EAGLE!! (now that I can say that since we are playing decent). You would not want to see or hear what I was saying a little earlier in the game!!

a day in the park between rainstorms

Ahh finally some beautiful weather! I just hope it is not short lived.

As many of you know (because you live here), the Atlanta weather has been CRAZY! There was a lot of flooding and destruction last weekend. I do not remember it ever being as bad as it was. Thankfully it was not bad where we live. We did get a lot of rain but we were spared the flooding. Since the rain stopped the weather has been wonderful!!

We have been looking for a nice park to take K to for awhile now. Since she is walking all over I figure its time to get her out and let her have some fun. It took awhile but we found a park a town over. Its a pretty nice park, the floor is rubber so she can fall (which she has done many times) and she does not end up hurt or dirty!!

She LOVES to swing and slide. The first day we went it was just the two of us. It was hard to get pictures and take care of her running around so I did not get many. The next day (yesterday) Chris suggested we go before he had to head into work. It was a great idea. Kennedi had so much fun!!

See....

Mommy... Daddy, I like these ducks... well as long as they stay on that side of the fence!

Daddy you hold me so those ducks cant get me!

First time on the slide all by myself!! She slid from the top to the bottom and LOVED it!

I love swings!!!

WEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I guess this is going to be a relaxing weekend. Conner's baseball tournament was called due to the fields being flooded (or very very wet) and we are still waiting to hear about Avery's game. Cross your fingers for us that we will at least get that one in since he missed his game last week due to the swine!! Hmm maybe it will be a day in front of the TV enjoying some college football.

And now we sit and prepare for more rain. Yes that is correct despite the blue, partly cloudy skies today we are now under a flash flood warning until 5am on Sunday. So I guess we should be saying, "here comes the rain again"
