An Expensive Weekend

We decided it was the right time to move Reagan up from her toddler bed. Truth be told she was getting too tall for it. We'd looked before and really were surprised by how hard it was to find one. We simply wanted a white twin bed with a trundle. Yep, that was it and very hard to find! The best luck we'd come across was at Rooms To Go and they were having a deal that worked for us so we decided to go and pick one out. Reagan's only input she would give us was that she wanted a princess bed. So while I'm not thrilled with it I let her pick our her bedding herself. So this is Miss Reagan's big girl bed and she's loving it!



But wait, there's more. Abby took an early nap so we decided to go car shopping. Not to worry, this wasn't completely on a whim as we were planning to do this but the timing was a little sooner then expected. Who doesn't want to take a 2 & 3 year old car shopping right? So after 5 hours, 2 of which were after dinner and right at bedtime, we had bought 2 new vehicles. Yep, 2. The lease on our truck was up and the Explorer was high on miles and started to show signs of trouble. We decided to do something smart for a change. We traded in the truck for a car, Fusion, as it is mostly just used to drive to/from work. We traded in the Explorer for something a bit bigger, an Expedition. We're looking forward to having the 3rd row for extra room and I know the girls are already appreciating having vents of their own. Reagan is very excited about having 2 new cars and tells everyone about them.
