teeter totter

Filed under: around the house — admin at 9:43 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2007

I don’t claim to be the best garage saler, although I would love to have it in me and the time…I’d rather just stumble upon my neighbors sale and score some cool handmade toys.

This wooden contraption is pretty fun. Flip it over and it becomes a staircase or a little table and bench. The teeter totter side of it has been a favorite with the kids- a ship, horse/carriage and even a balancing board for the 2 older ones.

I wish I had bought more, but glad I had shown some restrain. Little did I know that later that evening, our pup was hit by a car. Fortunately Ollie survived with bruised lungs and a bruised leg. As you can imagine, we spent more money than we’d like…but we are SO VERY HAPPY our pal is with us. Get better Ollie, we miss your energy!

Poor pup, I hope he feels better soon. Glad he’s ok.

And, good shopping that’s very cool.

so glad ollie escaped with just some minor injuries…kinda cute in that little cast, though. even if it did cost an arm and a leg…bad joke, i know!! :)
