Superbowl XLV

If you didn't know....the Superbowl was at Jerryland in North Texas!  Fun for us because we live close enough to experience a few things but far enough to not be in too much traffic or crowds!

One ice day out of school, Iris and I braved the scary roads for a Cowboys Stadium tour.  Thanks Houston Fullerton for free tickets!!!  Here a few pictures from that fun experience.  Google "Cowboys Stadium" sometime and read about all the records broken, and big numbers that make up that place.  From the field, to chairs, to locker room, to electricity....no expense was spared!  Geez.









FYI, Iris is a recent but massive fan of the NFL and American Football in general!  She was in heaven.

We also went downtown that actual weekend to check out some of the Sports Center set up and filming.  It wasn't too exciting but neat experience nonetheless!

craigslist

I love searching around on craigslist.com but I have never purchased anything.  Not so anymore.  I have had my eye on these Baby Einstein Around the World baby items for a few months.  (wonder why?)  I put them on a registry but they are not available at target in stores, one would have to order online.  Well, they are expensive and then there is shipping...

Anyways, I have searched for them a few times on craigslist but to no avail...until last week when we were snowed in for a few days.  And wallah!  Two of them were online and I got them both.  I braved the ice to get my bargains.  What do you think? 

The excersaucer! 


I especially love the pandas on the bamboo see saw.


And this is the floor play mat.

Our real panda bear loves it too!


There is a bouncy chair I have still on the registry but am searching for the bargain deal as well! 

And don't worry...I am not going too crazy with buying things.  I came accross a stuffed rocking panda bear a few months ago for 5 bucks at goodwill.  At a church garage sale just down the road, I bought a bath sitting ring thing for when the baby will be sitting up in the tub.  Then there is a plastic tub with a few sale item outfits for next winter.  And I have a promised crib and changing table/dresser as a hand-me-down from a dear friend.  This is pretty much it. All is tucked away in the attic.  We will worry about setting it up in the nursery more in June.

Oh and by the way, this is the "theme" of the nursery....Animals Around the World!

Snow Day 2

It snowed 3 or 4 inches last night!  Wow!  So beautiful.  It was still snowing a little this morning so we decided to bundle up and try sledding...laundry basket style.
