Parks ::: Pop took us to a new place to play today, and all I can say is that these big cities have the niftiest parks. When the temperature is in the 90's, you need all the shade and water you can get.

misters...
who needs two shoes?
and if all the fun outdoor toys aren't enough, here's a computer game to keep you busy:
More Goodwill finds::: I just can't stay away! I only have one more to hit, and I think I'm satisfied enough to give it a miss and take home my loot. Today I scored a floor lamp and this:
I know it's annoying to go on and on, but this little organizer was on my list of things to buy new once we get into the new house. They were using it as a display for porcelain dolls, but I spied it (drawer-less) and asked if it was for sale. The lady said "no" so I asked to talk to the manager. She even had to make a call. A call (to whom)? I offered her $30. The person on the phone said $24.99. Okay, fine, I'll take my $5.01 home. How cool is that? We already have several of these for toy storage and they are a great tool for keeping the children's room tidy.
Mother/daughter moments::::: they are rare these days. Party planning, shopping, hair advice, time by the pool- all these things have been filling our days.

um, it's not annoying when you give us details. NOT annoying. God is such an AWESOME Provider. i LOVE how He does that for us! He knew you'd be going to IKEA...might as well give it to you at Goodwill! Baby T looks so cute and squishable. and blond hair?? yes?? redish--brownish? love it. Caleb has all of a sudden turned into a toe head. i love it.
I've been thinking about something storage-y like that for Drew's room but keep thinking about what a nightmare it will inevitably be when he dumps out his toys and then *someone* has to re-sort. I'm sort of preferring the one-huge-bin method right now. Ha.
(And possibly because he's the kind of kid that cannot seem to resist dumping the bins out.)
