Today was a day of "prizes" around our house. We haven't seen much of Brandon this week due to his schedule and so we planned to stay home and spend time together. We each ended up getting a new toy which excited everyone. Christopher wanted a new flatbed with his allowance, so he and Brandon went to Walmart. Here's what we all got...

Christopher very excited about his new 18-wheeler flatbed with a skidloader included.


Sophie's new (and first) Barbie doll that Christopher picked out for her. (Brandon said he had to find her a girl toy and not another truck. I think she's pleased. )

Brandon's sling shot, or squirrel getter as Christopher calls it. Christopher said that Daddy shoots it and the squirrels can go to another place. So far they've only run. Don't worry.

And my gift, it was purchased earlier this week and was just now used. In my opinion it was the best gift of all. I've been dying to cut the grass again, but haven't been able to after what happened last time. Here's the blade we took off and what the new blade looks like, just so you can compare them. And no, it's not b/c I'm a girl that this happened. It was a huge rock that was hidden under the tall grass that was not seen before it was heard.

Overall it was a great Saturday. We all got naps too. And long ones! Hope you had a great weekend as well!
