Some firsts ...

Ian used markers for the first time about a week ago. He was a big fan!
Here's his coloring contest entry. Do you think he's going to win?? :)
Here are some of our recent "picks" from the garden, including our first-ever watermelon. Unfortunately, none of the three watermelon we picked was good. Maybe we waited too long to pick them? Anyone know how to tell when a watermelon's ripe?
On Saturday, we went to a nearby neighborhood's garage sale. In addition to the picnic table (above), see all of the other stuff below that we found ... 50+ clothing items for Ian (including a wool winter coat, a "suit," and a snowsuit), 30+ clothing items for Kim, socks/shoes for Ian, diaper bag, 10 books, a snow cone maker, a "special plate," 5 games, 5 bibs, a digital photo keychain, and LOTS of toys. How much do you think we spent for all of this loot??
... only $76!! We LOVE garage sales!
Matt tackled his first-ever solo faucet repair. I'm so proud of him ... he did a GREAT job! Our faucet no longer leaks!! :)
After fixing the faucet, my hard-working husband then beautified our yard, too. Luckily, he had some weed whacking help from Ian!

Awesome garage sale finds!! Aren't "re-sales" the best? Saves SO much money!
