Look what you can find for $30 on Craigs list!!!!

We are in the process of re-Doing our backyard. Part of that process is finding outdoor play stuff for the girls. I have been trolling Craigs list and others for fun stuff. This beauty was listed under a garage sale listing and was in bad shape when I got it. It was VERY dirty and all the joints were loose. With a little elbow grease, two bottle of Clorox cleanup, and a box of Magic Erasers I was able to get it clean. With Jeff's help I was able to get it together and tight! Thank You Grammy for this fun toy for Lola's Birthday! We look forward to sharing the fun with all the girls friends in the near future!
(and a huge shout out to Kimberly who saved the day when I had to go pick it up!!!)

Wow, it's a party! (or) It's a WoW Party!

Jeff turns 30! I'm officially married to an old man! Ha! Just teasing. In celebration of reaching such a milestone we decided to throw him a party centered on his favorite past time. World of Warcraft or WoW for short. We all dressed in costume centered around our characters and mom and dad planned an elaborate menu. I spent lots of time of WoW Wiki planning out the drinks and give-aways.
Guests were greeted at the door with "welcome to our inn, would you like to make this inn your home?" If they said yes they were given a Hearth stone (an item you get int he game that takes you back home) made out of candy. Then we played a few games that my mom had thought up and we ate the yummy food. The dinner cost everyone as did their drinks. How did they get theseThey got to run errunds for the inn keepers, take pictures of magical beasts, and of course turn Lola into a sheep and back again. Most agreed that hunting for flowers was the worse quest of the evening.
Each guest got to take home a prize after they did the things then? They had to complete quests to get money to pay for their food. ir quests and we all had fun watching Jeff open presents and blow out his birthday candles!
In the end the party was a huge sucess! Thank you to everyone who helped me plan and prepare for this fun night! I'm sure we'll all remember it for a long time!
