For the love....

Yesterday was quite an event for us- we had a little too much fun at a few garage sales.
Yes, garage sales.

Elliott has not stopped talking about riding Papa Mark's tractor in Idaho since last summer. He is very fond of his manure spreader that Papa Mark sent him for Christmas. Every time he sees any sort of "tractor" type vehicle he asks about Papa Mark's tractor and wants to go for a ride. So- Imagine my utter joy at seeing this beauty. Both Elliott and Nathan (my nephew) are loving the Papa Mark tractor.
Actually- Elliott at present, just sits on it and makes noises as if he were doing some sort of farmer duties. Totally hilarious....


Then Grandma Ede finds the "find of the day" with the Spiderman goggles. I still laugh out loud when I think of her walking across the street holding Elliott while he was wearing these for the first time! He was sooooo proud and so seriously wearing them- I actually can't believe how long he will wear these things!


Next, we add in the Small Paul Pirate board shorts.
Not from our daily finds, however, duly noted.
What would we do without those?
Sorry, you can't see the pirate.


This just reminds me of some sinister bad guy throwing his head back and laughing at his evil plot to rule the world. Elliott loves Spiderman right now. It may have a little something to do with my attempt to "psych" him into wearing his Spiderman underwear instead of diapers because they are sooooo cool. (Hey, don't knock it, it is kind of working...)
Maybe this sinister laugh is him laughing at me and thinking
"silly momma, such foolishness, underwear is for sissies."


The end of our day was quite a culmination of things.
For the love- Spiderman, pirates, and the tractor.
What a day for us!
