Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

The best $2.50 ever spent

October7

Even the dog was excited that the sun was out today.  It has been gray so much lately – he refused to come inside and just rolled in the grass for an hour.

p1000714I went to the pre-sale of the consignment sale I am selling things in last night.  Glad I’m not claustrophobic between the number of people and the small venue.  I didn’t need to pick up much of anything because I’ve already shopped a couple of earlier sales for the girls winter clothes.  But I wanted to wander around.  I found a baby doll.  Sabrina has a few dolls but none that she really is attached to.  She is such a little mother and changes diapers for her puppy, her sheep, and an imaginary doll.  So I picked up this baby doll.  We’ve named her Penny and Sabrina carried her everywhere today.  She fed her, changed her, put her down for naps, and put her in the exersaucer so she could blog while she did a puzzle. Probably the best $2.50 I’ve spent.

Tessa was simply happy to be left alone for 5 minutes.

But with all that sunshine, we couldn’t stay inside all day.

And yet again, poor Tessa is stuck in the stroller while the rest of us have fun.

    Gotta love it when the cheap toys are the biggest hit. So glad you are getting nice weather.

    Your whole family is just so darn cute, I mean really. Even the dog!
    My three year old was the same way. Loved stuffed animals, but dolls not so much. Until she attached herself to a doll at Goodwill for .99. She named her Jessica and she is the only doll she’ll play with. She even offered her little sister her expensive doll to play with.
    Love the pic of Sabrina feeding her baby. That is adorable.

    Oh, I remember when Cassie played babies. She had like 50, she took such good care of them!!! It’s so fun to watch them. I love that she blogs, I mean does puzzles!!!

    Tessa looks no worse for the wear!

    Seriously, the girls are just too darn cute! This might sound weird but I really much show you a couple of my baby pictures one day, because I think Sabrina sorta resembles me when I was a little girl. I think it’s the hair, eyes and skin color. She is definitely A LOT cute than I have ever been though 😉
