Wait. Our garage sale tricycle is worth how much?

Lily's new trike.

I recently wroteabout how we got some great deals on a garage sale and one of those was a tricycle for $5.

While searching for instructions on how to adjust the seat, I had quite an amazing discovery. It seems that Kettler trikes retail for $200! Damn!

This was one great find and we’ll have to be sure to keep it stored inside at night.

Sad part is, I still have no idea how to adjust the seat so Lily can’t really ride it yet.

Spoiling Lily and getting great deals.

When you have a kid, you realize how expensive they can be. However, with a little bit of looking, you can find great deals.

Lily loves to swing, so we looked at getting her a swing for the back yard. We went back and forth on the decision until we found the one we wanted on the clearance shelf at Target. It was such a good deal that we couldn’t pass it up.

Use your imagination, it’s not just a box.

When you get a package in the mail, or some new appliance, what does it come in? Does it come in a box? Or does it come in a spaceship?

The truth is, it’s not just a box, it’s whatever your imagination can think up.

This is not a box.

I know that when we get a delivery from diapers.com, Lily gets excited for the box. She’s not too concerned with what’s in it unless it’s her.

One box can provide endless hours of entertainment and joy as it’s more than just a box. Much much more.

For some reason, all the toys are banned from the basement.

We’re not quite sure why, but last night Lily decided to put all her toys on the other side of the safety gate.

She started by dropping the ones she was playing with on the other side of the gate. She then usually says oh oh, points, and expects us to come get them for her. Instead, she grabbed a few more and tossed them over too.

She spent the next 15 minutes finding every toy, book, bag and stuffed animal she could and just tossed them over the gate. When all was said and done, we couldn’t go upstairs.

Lily vs the tub & toys.

It’s amazing what little kids find fun, like a plastic storage tub. It’s one of the most fun things we know of!

Add in a few toys, and throw them out again, and it’s even better!

Does spoiled start with an L?

Toys Christmas has come and gone and what are we left with? Toys toys and more toys.

It’s amazing how one little kid can have so many toys.

I didn’t think we got her that much stuff, but it’s everywhere. Not to mention the toys the family gave as well.

Lily loves them all though and we are thankful for every gift we get.

We are now working on hiding some toys so we can swap them out a few weeks later with some of her current toys. That way they’ll seem new, even though they won’t be.

Starting Lily off early on Wii Fit.

It’s never to young to start exercising right? That’s why Lily’s been on Wii Fit from a very early age.

Ok, so she doesn’t do anything on it other than get weighed. It’s actually a good way to track her weight progress over the months.

You see, with Wii Fit Plus you have the ability to add babies into the system. To weigh them you just have to hold them and it’ll weigh both of you. Then it subtracts your weight to get theirs. It’s pretty slick.
