I have always admired the great things my step-sister Lexie
seems to always find when going to D.I.
(or now her local thrift store; since she is no longer near a D.I.)
I hope she will be proud of the great deals Brett and I found last week.
Brett and I were totally stoked!
(Does anyone really say "stoked" anymore? Did I ever say it before? What is wrong with me!)
Ch-ch-check 'em out!
A wooden sled, that Jackie could for sure fit in, and possibly Ro or Ellie.I, of course, will not be giving it to them.
It will be a fun and whimsical winter decoration.
$15.00
I looked online, and one very similar to this was selling for $75!!!
Wh-wh-what!?
This perfectly perfect in every way bike trailer. Brett had to fight off some punk kids for it but we prevailed!
(really I don't think they had any money)
$20.00!!!!!! Woohoo! I will say it again $20.00!!
I looked online and the cheapest I could find a brand new one was $119.00.
Sweeeet!!!
(I am full of overly used and dated phrases today)
We have been wanting to take more bike rides as a family,
but Jackie has a hard time keeping up. So last Saturday, in between Conference Sessions, we took a family bike ride and had a picnic in the park.
It was dee-lightful!
Here is Brett and Jack cruising along. She was comfy cozy and had a ball. Daddy went really fast a few times but she loved every minute of it.
Here is Ellie. This is honestly a miracle that she is finally riding a bike without training wheels. Last fall she finally learned. (When she was 7!!) She just had no desire before to learn. Now she loves it and has the scars to prove it.(I had issues getting Ro's picture of his bike on here....Sorry Ro...stupid blogger!!!)
Picnic time! Jack was a little grumpy at this point because she had gone down the slide and it was wet. I took a picture of it and the first thing she said was: "Don't put it on the blog!"
They learn quick don't they!
At this point they were all pretty sassy come to think of it. Oh well.
We had a fun time, made even more enjoyable thanks to our great deals!

Oh how I miss the D.I.! You found some awesome deals. Lexie would be proud and jealous! Looks like you all had a great time on the bike ride. Love the sled, I wouldn't give it to kids either. Definitely a decoration in it.
What finds! A bike trailer is a great idea.
And I totally use some of those words. We are probably both out of 'it', what ever 'it' is... :)
Awesome D.I. finds!
Oh, how I miss the D.I. NO OTHER thrift store can come close to being as awesome as the D.I. Didn't you buy a cake stand a while back from there? Oh, how I love cake stands! The kids are all looking so grown up! How is Jackie liking school? And you?? Miss you all.
WOW, killer deals! Love ya!
Hey there, hi there, ho there! Where'd you come from?! I have not been checking the blogs like I used to. I apologize.
I am in love with that sled!
