So excited

And I have the tow truck!! After emailing Mark a picture of this I found on ebay I never imagined he would actually bid on it. A couple days ago I checked ebay again and couldn't find it on there. I was a little disappointed but was ok because a friend had offered me her tow truck. Well much to my surprise Mark had bid on it and won it on ebay! Granted he paid much more than the 25 cent truck I got at the last rummage sale but he still was paying attention to me. I was so surprised when it came in the mail yesterday. Baby Mortis is going to love it. :) I just love Little Tikes cars!!

Must have one

I found this on ebay. I totally need it for the baby! I'm going to be on the lookout the rest of the summer when I go rummaging for this truck. :) Or maybe I'll just break down and order it from ebay....

More Little Tikes!

Remember me blogging about these guys?? :) Well look at what I found today at a sale for 25 cents to go with my collection.......

The truck!!!! I'm so excited. I LOVE it. I just imagine taking our baby to the park next summer and have him sitting on a blanket playing with his toys. I was really excited when I spotted it today and even more excited when they told my friend it was only a quarter. I can't wait to clean it up and get it on his shelf.

Gathering twigs

Well the baby's room is painted and now I'm starting to gather things for him. It's so much fun. We knew from the beginning if we had a boy we would use Mark's old toy box. If we had a girl we would have used mine. I had the Little Tikes Strawberry box and Mark had the very boyish Little Tikes football and luckily both our mom's had saved them. So we hauled his box out of his mom's attic and now it sits in baby's room waiting for treasure to go inside.

I started searching rummage sales a few weekends ago looking for great 'finds' for the baby. I came across an old Little Tikes elephant! I scored the cute little thing for 10 cents! It was pretty dirty but I think with a good washing and a magic eraser I'm sure it will look great and be the perfect outside toy to take for a day in the park. I'm really excited about it and found on ebay that it's part of a set so I'm on the lookout for the other animals that go with it.

THEN I scored the other weekend when my mom and dad were cleaning out their attic. We found a Little Tikes car in the same style as the elephant. It's in perfect condition and my brother agreed to loan it to his new nephew :) So it will go on the shelf in baby's room just waiting to be played with once he gets big enough.

I can't wait to get out there and start rummaging and searching again! It's my summer hobby.
