Why I love Craigs List

Today MIZZOU is played in the NCAA tournament and totally WON! Brooke was sporting her MU gear to support-of course.

Enough about that, though, let's discuss why I love Craigslist and why I am the best mom ever today. I have been wanting to get Brooke something-anything to play with in the back yard. Apparently going outside and kicking a ball or chasing the dog just wasn't cutting it. I was getting desperate to the point that I was just going to go to Toys R Us and buy whatever was in stock. Then today-Craigslist had a TON of posting of little kids outdoors toys! Jackpot. Before the day was through, Brooke was sitting pretty on her new slide. She almost forgot about those rich Kaller kids is O'Fallon with their fancy swingset.

Check out the senior pic/1984 pose she is sporting. Rock star.



Only a few tumbles were had and fun was all over the Fleming backyard. This excitment may only last a few more days, but that is totally cool-it was only $30. Now I am on the look out for a swing to hang off one of our trees, a Cozy Coupe and a picnic table. This summer is going to be Christmas every day for Brooke...wait until she is older and finds out her mom bought all of her toys off Craigslist...the shame...:)

We LOVE Craigslist! We are also looking for a Cozy Coupe - no luck so far, they are always sold just before I contact the person.

I'm sorry, DAYTON won too against West Virginia! Where is Miss Brooke's UD shirt and beads and pom pom? I'm expecting pictures ASAP
