Syd has won the lottery twice this week! Her table is almost finished....just staining and sealing the top, so pictures will be coming. She waited patiently all weekend and watched while mommy painted and painted and painted! 

Her other lottery win is what we promised her for being potty trained. Mommy sold her little power wheels at the garage sale a couple of weeks back and she almost had a breakdown right there in the garage, I told her we'd get a bigger one as soon as it was summer, and she was out of pullups all day. Both daddy and I decided she'd been doing absolutely amazing using the potty, and mommy just happened to find the power wheels she was drooling over ON SALE!!!! Like the kind of sale that puts the power wheels that is normally twice the price of the ones wal-mart and so forth carry within 10 bucks of their price. Daddy and I talked it over after Syd was in bed one night and decided to bite the bullet....bye bye garage sale profits, along with a little of daddy's paycheck! And HELLO one HAPPY little girl! So here's what we've been waiting for and talking about daily for the last week and a half....

and this is how big the box is....

and this is what made me say YIKES after daddy told me I could try it on my own....

and it only got worse....

so about 4 hours later....of which Syd slept for about 3 we get this....

and the first "yes" answer to do you love mommy and daddy!

In 2 short days I'm sure she'll be buzzing around the back yard, until then the box should have some kind of warning for parents that the battery must be charged for 18 hours before its' first use! Mommy didn't make any brownie points there! So until then we will sit in it, eat in it, and fiddle with everything we can find in it! If mommy goes on a crash diet after baby she just might be able to try it out too, one of the benefits of this one is it holds 130lbs....two toddlers easy! 

Just to show you we knew it would be a hit....at the Brandon garage sales 2 weeks ago a buyer needed a test driver for a boys go kart that was for sale, so we stuck Syd in it, and couldn't get her back out. We then stopped at Toys R Us to see if they had the baby swing I wanted since we had no luck hunting one down garage saleing....and we decided to see if she'd bite on the Escalade....

In she went, and out, she wouldn't come!
