wordless wednesday: west fest is ghetto, but we had fun.

grandma.

My Grandma has the best shoulder.

Love you ~ Vin

croquet.

who plays this game and likes it?

van that's who.

way cheaper than going somewhere to play mini golf,

and we can rearrange our course as many times as we want.

just one of the few things we started doing while van has been away from tv.

no tv challenge.

last week we took van to buy a toy with her "sprite stand" money. she had well over $20, but still couldn't buy that toy she wanted...ya know, the toy...the buzz lightyear with all the bells and whistles. i still can't believe how expensive toys really are. $50 for a buzz lightyear, really. we felt bad for her, because she really had worked hard for her money...and she still wasn't going to be able to get the toy that she really wanted.

paul right then and there made a deal with her, because that is what paul does. he told van that if she could go without tv for a whole week...he would buy her whatever toy she wanted.

we are over half way through the deal, and she is doing awesome. the first day was obviously the hardest. she said funny stuff like "mom, i won't even know what is going on with spongebob!"

we are doing lots of fun stuff to occupy her time, and she is playing lots of pretend again...which i adore. she is going to be one happy girl come wednesday with her new buzz light year. (i am still secretly hoping she picks that bomb diggity pool, we all could have some fun with that!)

csn stores pretty much rawks.

I could seriously get lost in this website, I guess it's easy when they have over 200 stores. I find myself looking at a new bathroom sink, and then in one click I am trying to find Vin a new pair of cute shoes.

Remember when I said that I had found CSN stores? I was so excited to finally get some nursery decor for Vin's room...and I ended up getting something for baby Kenslee too. Jill and I were both super excited about the added cuteness to our babies nurseries, and come to find out Jill even bought her crib through CSN stores too.

The question is, if you had $40 to spend on this website...what would you buy? I literally can't even count how many things I thought of buying for less than $40. I just might give a $40 gift card for the best answer. {wink}

*CSN stores is giving me a gift card for promoting their website, and also sent me both of these rawkin' things for Jill and I! =)

wordless wednesday: this always makes everything better
