CRUISIN'







With the weather being crummy and both the kids and I being sick- needless to say we are SO ready for the weather to make up its mind and stay decent! I decided that to help our time indoors go by quicker- I thought that Samantha might like her own little car! Mike ran across a box at school and brought it home for me. At first I had all these ideas to make the car really cute- but I had to stop myself-I have enough projects going on right now- I didn't need to add to my list! So I let Samantha color it- (she didn't feel like it needed much change) I added on tires and Mike made an awesome wheel! (along with a slot for her keys- per Samantha's request) They have gone to a drive-in movies and have enjoyed a lunch or two in it as well. It's big enough for both Collin and Samantha to be in there together- although Collin still doesn't understand that the keys need to be IN the ignition in order for the car to drive! (A frustrating thing for his older sister)
For Christmas Collin got a 3 in 1 Smart Wheels- and he loves it! For awhile he didn't have enough balance to sit securely on it himself. But now he is and the moment you put him on it- he just gets the most proud little look on his face! He just knows he is such a big boy!

Such sweet kids! The car idea is great. I completely sympathize with you on the weather- please just stay warm. (I probably sound like a broken record, but the weather really is awful!)

Oh my cuteness! Collin is such a doll, he has the sweetest little face. And I LOVE the car, when you told me you were making that I seriously died! What a cute little family... K we both always notice every little detail in each others pictures, how about that dresser in the background!? so cute when did you get that? Love it, I cant wait until I have a house to go crazy in. (like I haven't with the small space I have to work with) and did Manny get a little white table and chairs? super cute as well. K I will stop spying on you from your blog, okay I wont but whatever!

I remember playing in cardboard boxes when I was a kid! What a fun idea!

Samantha and Collin are two lucky kids...they sure have a fun mom! I need you out here to give me ideas like cute cardboard cars and then do them with me cause I'm not creative enough on my own. How are things going out there?
