I never blog because I don't have anything exciting to blog about and I don't have the time or energy to put much effort into a well-written and witty post. But I hate that my blog has fallen by the wayside, so I've decided that even if my writing stinks and I blog about total nonsense...even if I just write one sentence or post one picture...I should try to keep my blog current.

My sister called last week and asked if DH and I have anything planned for the end of July. When I told her no, she said that she and her hubby are taking their vacation time then and found a really super deal on some flights and wanted to know if we would mind having them as house guests for a week. Woohoo!!! It was a total surprise. I didn't even know they were thinking about coming down here. I'm super excited. I love spending time with them and their 3 kiddos and this time, Scout will be old enough to play with them (somewhat). The last time I saw them was at Christmas when we flew up there and stayed for a week. The last time they were on my turf was back in October, when Scout was barely 6 months old and was just learning to sit up.

In other news, I think Scout is getting totally bored with her toys. I tried to rotate her toys every month or two for a while, but the last time I rotated them, I realized that she had pretty much outgrown the ones I had stashed away and she didn't seem too interested in them when I brought them back out. I know that anything can become a toy - and she does play with pots and pans, boxes, purses, shoes, computer parts, books and CD cases, rolls of toilet paper, etc.....but even those things can only be entertaining for so long. We went to our friends' house for dinner on Friday night while DH was working late and Scout got to play with their little boy who is 3 months older than her. He has a TON of toys and she had a blast!!!! She was entertained for hours and hours with all of the fun things he had. It made me feel bad when I thought of her meager toy stash at home. I probably need to get her some more toys, but they are so expensive. I guess I need to hit some yard sales and thrift stores!!

Pics from yesterday at the park down the road from us:
It is sort of a trashy park. We saw some broken glass, the jungle gym had mildew or algae or something growing on it, and there were curse words written all over the play equipment. Nice.

Bailey's favorite thing right now is Little People, especially anything with animals- she has the zoo, farm, firetruck, and Noah's Ark. All were garage sale items for really cheap and look almost new.
