So... for those of you that aren't in the 'know', LOL! About 8 or so months ago, our Taurus began acting up, we are leaning towards tranny issues... well Jer's folks graciously let us use their Honda, which has been on it's last leg the past week and it scares us! LOL! We are thinking starter for the Honda, which is easy enough to fix (as long as I don't have to fix it, tee heee!)- I mean like relatively inexpensive, nothing over $100 and not too terribly hard to replace ourselves (when I say 'ourselves', I mean Jeremy, along w/ the help of his dad via cell phone). Well after the starter, what else would there be? The Honda is about what? 25 years old?! LOL! It's a good little car, but it's dying a slow death! LOL! So over the past week, we've been nickle and diming our way to our very own car! *GASP* Now keep in mind we haven't had to make car payments to a car dealership, ever, really, so this should prove to be interesting! Again, those in the 'know' know what we are talking about. Hehe! So here is what Jer picked up, all by himself, WITHOUT approval from me mind you, and he picked wonderfully- no complaints from me (I know some people are shocked about the 'no complaining' part... but it's true!)... so w/o further ado~ Our Nissan XTerra...
Emma was in awe sitting back there while Jer hooked up her booster seat. She thought it was so cool. LOL!
See.... WHOA expression.... lol
Abby's happy because she can actually see out the windows now... it sits pretty high!
Before Jer put in her booster seat, I think in the picture he's strapping Abby in, it's kinda dark... lol!
Hooking Abby's car seat in...
So there ya have it! Jer is pretty excited about it! He got home last night and we hopped in for a ride to Goodwill for some tea cups. Emma's got a 'tea party' at the Zoo tomorrow with her Girl Scout troop, and it's the zoo's annual geranium festival, so that will be fun. They are going to sit on blankets and eat little cookies and have tea (or lemonade). So we grabbed some cute little tea cups last night to decorate and stuffs. I also grabbed 3 coffee mugs, all mismatched and funky sizes (I like BIG cups, LOL!) and everything was only a buck fity! Can't beat that with a stick huh! Gotta love the Goodwill. I knew I would find something quirky and fun there for her tea party. It's supposed to be awesome weather tomorrow too, and our party is at 1, so you know I'll have a million pictures of tea and zoo animals! It's not like the normal zoo one would think of, I think they have like 1 bear (that they probably captured themselves getting into their trash cans, ROFL!) and a raccoon or some crap like that. It's the most pathetic zoo ever! I grew up going to the Portland (Oregon) Zoo and it's a huge, great zoo, so this sad little Billings (Montana) Zoo is so very small and has like 5 animals, LOL! I think there might be a tiger or something, but they are always hiding or sleeping somewhere and you can't ever see them. Oh well, I will try and get pictures, and it's always fun to be outside w/ the rest of the Girl Scout troop, lame zoo or not. ;)
So yesterday before Abby and I went to pick up Emma, she was outside playing and it was a nice day, so I thought I would take some pics... so here's lil miss Abby's photo shoot, LOL! Can you tell I love my camera! I take toooo many pics! HAHAH!
Eating lunch before going outside...
Free at last, free at last!!!!
She likes to dig up rocks and throw them into the creek behind our house...
Like so...
And here's a few random pics over the last week...
Abby eating a lil popsicle
And when I say lil, I mean LITTLE, they are new popsicles called Mini Melts or something like that and they are slow melting popsicles, pretty cool!
Emma doing what she usually is doing, writing or drawing...
...very intently! LOL!
It's a red crayon in there with legs and arms and whatnot, it's terribly cute. And underneath she wrote a lil somethin' somethin'. I should take a closer pic of it... it's so cute! Sometimes they don't finish all their projects at school, so she brings home stuff unfinished and Emma likes to finish them at home a lot.
Okay well that is that! Whew! I have some sweepin', vacuumin', dishes and laundry to do today. The story of my life! :D Hope everyone has a great weekend!
