Again, not too much to talk about for now, but I did take a few pictures of some of Tillman's new summer/outdoor toys, so I thought I would share those with you. Hey, at least it gives me something to write about and gives me a chance to look at and play with the new design some more. We do have a jam-packed weekend ahead, so check back soon for an update.
Other things on my mind before we get to the good part: (the pictures)
- PASS testing is in a week & a half!! Can we say crunch time??
- I'm taking my kids on a field trip to the Children's Museum & the Upstate History Museum tomorrow. I'm excited b/c I've never been, and I plan to scope out the place well to see if it would be something we would want to do with Tillman this summer.
- I'm getting my hair cut (trimmed) tomorrow after the field trip. I'm contemplating some sort of bangs, but not sure yet. I'll let the lady with the scissors decide.
- After the haircut, we will head to G'ville as a family to do some birthday present shopping for a party this weekend. Josh takes gift shopping for kids very seriously. :) I mean, he would know what toys kids would like.
- Saturday morning we want to accomplish 2 great things: the Easley Farmer's Market & the Jockey Lot! I haven't gotten into yard sales, and I'm not huge into the Jockey Lot either, but Josh thought we might be able to find some cool "scraps" to turn into little projects. Thank you, Pinterest.
- Saturday afternoon we have a Sunday school picnic planned and a birthday party to attend. I'm looking forward to squeezing both of those in and getting to hang out with some new friends.
- Sunday will be spent at church & then putting finishing touches on our Luke Court house b/c there is a realator's luncheon planned for this week. Please pray there is continued activity with the house and that it sells soon.
...And... here is what you are looking for, and the only real reason you check my blog in the first place, to see pictures of Tillman. Let's face it, it's true.
This was an Easter gift for Tillman ordered from Grandma & Grandpa that arrived this week. Tillman is pretty good with puzzles, so I'm excited to use this one to help her learn the letters of her name, and eventually, how to spell her name. Clever idea.
The inflatable was either a birthday present or Christmas gift, and we finally found a set of 100 balls to dump into it. Tillman LOVES this and squeals with glee as she rolls around and throws the balls everywhere. (Easy lesson on picking up and putting things away when you are finished with them.) Josh thinks we need to add another 100 balls.
Tillman's favorite toy of everything we picked out. She literally wakes up, gets dressed, and goes out in search of, "ball.ball.ball."
And this is where we like to put the ball. Don't worry about the breakable picture frames and lamp. Yes, please go ahead and put a $2.50 ball on the table instead.
A mixture of fun, cheap toys: watering can, bubble gun, sidewalk chalk, jump ropes, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles.
I can't wait to see her use these. She's in a copy-cat stage and wants to help out with everything. Now she can without risking injury. :)
We were copy-cats, too, and got T an adirondack chair for the back deck. Mom & Dad got her a purple one for their house first.
Yes, this is one of my favorites. And, yes, there is cold rain water in that inflatable. Josh gave me a guilt trip b/c I was more caught up in taking the picture than I was keeping her from falling into the cold water. In my defense, though, I told her to wait one minute and that it would be cold. Her response was to literally dive in head first. So, I warned her. Maybe she needs to work on her listening/following directions skills. ;)
This is T changing out of her cold, wet clothes and into some dry ones. What a ham.
Reading a book in her dry, warm clothes.
Oh, and need I not forget to mention....Josh got a new toy too. Yes, that's a Nerf gun.
And, yes, he will shoot you with it. What can I say? He knows how to keep things fun & interesting. Never a dull moment.
