So...it's garage sale time of the year again....YES!!! I love a good cheap steal!! My neighbor, who happens to be in her 60's has a garage sale every year and her daughters bring their sons gently used clothing for the sale. This year....(excited exhale).....she came down and asked me if I wanted to come down early and go through all the stuff!! So I picked through the stuff and got some great deals....including.... new jeans for 1.00 and a pair of new khaki cargos for 1.00 as well! We also splurged and got a OSU coat that was never worn for 4.00 (kinda expensive but in Keith's opinion...totally worth it) I also got 3 pairs of shorts and a swimsuit for .50 cents each and a pair of long pants for .75!If I could only find a good source with girls clothes....we'll have to wait and see.
Our lives have been kinda chaotic lately but hopefully they will be slowing down some soon. This past weekend we had an awesome time with our new nephew/cousin Lucas...he was really cute and Gideon loved to hold him...plus the girls had a blast with Jessica. Jessica is getting so big and was so hilarious...she would dance and "shake it down" with her Elmo doll and she was soooo funny! It was really great to see them all. Keith left for Arkansas yesterday afternoon but he'll be back tonight late after Lost......I'm so thankful for quick trips!!
Ella has been talking a ton lately......she's learning new words every day and totally surprising Keith and I with her vocabulary at only 16 months the words she speaking include the obvious Hi, Bye Bye, Mama, Dada...but she's also saying chocolate, pretzel, graham cracker (I know they all have to do with food uh oh:) and chip. This weekend when we were in Chicago my sister in law was asking Gideon, Lucy and Jessica if they wanted a little chip. Lucy and Jessica said in unison "I want a chip".....and Ella looked at Aunt Jana and said "I wan chip" . She is answering our questions alot more as well....like when we affirm that she wants something she nods her head yes and no and when I ask her if she wants a graham cracker or a pretzel she says.....Uhmmmmmmmmm....and then chooses. Last night I said "Lets go outside" and she said "ok" and went and got her shoes.....she is amazing us (maybe we are just excited parents...she just seems so young to be doing this stuff) She also says...."Stop" when her brother and sister are picking on her or when mommy and daddy try to take something away. The diction (sp?) of course is not completely there but it is enough that she is very understood! So fun!
Well hope everybody has a great mothers day weekend!....for some of you HAPPY FIRST MOTHERS DAY!!!
