Well, today started off just like any other. This is my week to drive the little one, so we were up and at em' bright and early! Work was normal as can be. During my lunch break, I decided to check out Craigslist. Now, I don't live under a rock or anything...but I'd never really gotten into the whole Craigslist phenomenon...now, I'm addicted!!! I found so many great things on there...now if only we actually had the money to get EVERYTHING I wanted on there (kid stuff of course!). Olivia is set for clothing through the summer (basically) and we don't know what this little bundle is yet, so we don't need any clothes. We have LOTS and LOTS of indoor toys...and most if not all are very gender neutral and still in great working condition, so we aren't in any need for those. BUT, our current goal is to work on the backyard! We bought a little inflatable pool already, but I've had my heart set on getting a sandbox and tree swing for the yard (among other things). I found a great sandbox and a plastic, radio flyer, double seater wagon...and I was so excited! The problem....the seller was located in Minnetonka (not even close to our house), and we had to go tonight if we wanted it. After a lot of convincing, I talked/guilted Christian into going to check them out after work. So, we did...and we got em'! BONUS, the guy threw in a free tree swing (also in great condition) because they forgot to post it, we were buying two things and he really wanted to get rid of it! YAY, I'm so excited!
Down side...it's raining, and it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow too...so I don't think we'll be getting much use out of our new toys for a couple days...but we are sure excited about them! Can't wait to find some more great stuff for the yard now!
OK - I will admit I'm cheating with today's photos. I really wanted to get photos of Olivia actually using the new toys...so I had to wait for the rain to stop! So, here is her loving her new swing and wagon. The weather finally cleared up and we were able to fill the sandbox and try it out. She LOVES it, so YAY :)

I have been looking for the wagon on craigslist every day(lucky). I did get the same sandbox and a slide for her. I am addicted!!
