4/20/10 - Outdoor Activity Extravaganza!!!

Well, I am fully willing to admit it...We are obsessed with buying kid stuff. I can't help it...we don't buy anything for ourselves, nothing for the house, put off car maintenance, etc....just so we can buy kid stuff. I think it's becoming a problem...but, I'm OK with that. Olivia loves being outside, and once the baby comes, we're going to need as much as possible to keep her busy and entertained. We decided to splurge on some outdoor "stuff" for Olivia so we'd be sure to get outside throughout the summer and play. Like I mentioned a couple weeks ago, we got her a sandbox, a tree swing and a wagon for outside. We picked up an inflatable pool (hoping to use it soon!) and some other little toys over time from Target. Now, we have just about completed our collection (for now anyway). I ordered some stuff last week, and it came today, so of course right after work we rushed right out to pick it all up! We got her a Climber Activity Center, a Picnic Table and a Sand and Water Activity Table. Of course we immediately had to set everything up as well...we have virtually NO patience, which is probably pretty obvious by now!

Of course Olivia had to "help" us put everything together, so that makes everything take about twice as long. But, we did it! It's still a little chilly, so we didn't bother filling and Sand and Water Table yet, but she LOVED the Climber and the Table. Seeing her have so much fun, and really enjoying everything, reminds me why I love spending our money on her...it's all about her!

Here are some pics of our new equipment, and of course some pics of her helping :)
