Enjoying a Beautiful Day

Due to work schedules & babysitter schedules, we decided to do an anniversary date a month early. Boy oh boy did we get lucky with our beautiful weather! The past 2 years have been either cold or rainy (or both Rockford)!
We got a late start but headed to Princeton, IL to find 3 new boxes: Bureau County Bear & The Unicorn by Pitties and Noah's Ark by Agnes (we needed to get the latest additions to the Ark).


Yes, I HATE it when he does this...I imagine every possible animal that could live in this tree... eating his hand for lunch!


We were successful with all 3 boxes and soon headed to a local bar & grill in Princeton (thanks for the suggestion Pitties) for lunch.

Our next stop was in Durant, IA to pick up a new toy for the kids. This is something that we normally can't afford...but we came across a great deal and couldn't pass it up! The kids were shocked (and sad that it was way past bedtime when they got home and saw it). They did get to enjoy it lots on Sunday though. Here's Matt & I after putting the house together, Alex ready to eat her lunch on Sunday and Maddie washing dishes.

We would have loved to have more time to letterbox, hopefully our weather is breaking and we can start up with the family day trips again soon. We are ready to travel!!!

What a great house! That's from the same line that our sandbox was from... they do such a great job at making great, sturdy play equipment that keeps its color and shape over time! Great investment... I'm sure the kids will get alot of hours out of it!
