How about this…

Yesterday, yesterday, I bought the Wilton Cruiser cake pan off ebay to make this infamous Herbie cake.

Today, not even 24 hours later, I find this newly listed, apparently extremely rare, not to mention highly detailed cake pan (I say rare because I searched high and low for a VW cake pan already).

Any guesses what I’m packin’ in my stylish new bag?  If you’ve seen it already know, please keep quiet for a bit and let’s see if anyone else can guess what I’ve stowed away.

I’ll update this post after a few guesses.

Amber had the closest guess.  That’s right, I’m packin’ a toilet!

I ordered a toilet in a bag from Walmart.com and had it shipped site to store. What? Don’t laugh. I think it’s quite the fashionable toilet, as far as purse potties go.

So back story, we were in Walmart a few weeks ago and Caleb did the grab-the-crotch-I-gotta-go signal.  (That’s normal with boys right?  Yeah, sure, of course.  Hmmm.)  So we headed into the bathroom and it was taking forever to…get things goin’.   Apparently the toilet got impatient and the damn automatic flusher flushed on the kid. I’m sure you can imagine the sheer terror on his face. To make matters worse, he was sitting backwards on the pot, so he was looking right down into the jaws of life as it tried to suck him in. Needless to say, he’s terrified of the automatic flushers now and he vowed to cross his legs through the rest of the store and the whole way home that day.  Now I have a solution, hopefully this will last until the fear has subsided.  I’m pretty impressed though.  It just uses 4 gallon trash bags with an absorbant pad in the bottom.

We have more toys than one child could possibly need, but I got to thinking today. What has given us the most bang for our buck? The most tried and true favorites in our house. As I listened to Caleb’s infectious laugh this morning, I realized I was holding one of them. I can’t say it gets played with every day, but it my wear out the fun if it did. A Baby Einstein hand puppet that I bought at Babies R’Us for $5.99. I think they have them at Target as well. I think ours is a dragon (?) Caleb thinks it is absolutely beyond hysterical to feed this thing all sorts of toys and watch him spit them out.

Second, we have “Push Car.” This thing must have at least 100,000 miles on it. It has been run into every wall, over every toy, and through every puddle. Auntie Nadine spent $10 on it I think. I told Scott if we had a penny for every mile he has put on it, it would still be paid for. I thought his interest in it would die down after he mastered walking and running. Nope. Every single day, every single time I’m on the phone, he goes barreling around the house with it. We have one of those safety gates that is a pressure mounted walk-thru gate. I joked that I put him a speed bump in and my dad say “Well it didn’t slow him down any.” Without further ado, I introduce….”Push Car.”

Last but not least, these toys have something in commom with our beloved push car. They have wheels. Anything with wheels. This kid could be perfectly happy if you spent $20 on him for Christmas by purchasing 20 $0.97 Hot Wheels. We find them in the couch all the time. Right beside the crumbs. In our shoes, under the furniture, they are taking over our house. One Christmas present this year will be one of those huge over the door Hot Wheels storage thingys. It has tons of pockets so you can slip the cars in there to display them. Or avoid a few curse words due to stepping on the constantly.

I found this crazy awesome store. If I did indeed have a million dollars, I would certainly shop there.

because otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to afford this $1780.00 crib. Whew. Thank God for price matching.

Rest assured, after enduring one child that has never slept well, our second baby will be sleeping in an Amby Motion Bed from day 1. I will even fight tooth and nail to use it in the hospital.

See how this new mom and baby are well rested. You can tell by the twinkles. Yep. I want that.

I sold our crib for $100 bucks shortly after the little man turned 1. He slept in it 4 months. It was expensive too. Like the Modern Nursery one above. Give or take $1500. Okay, you got me. It was $300. In hindsight, I’m quite glad it wasn’t too expensive and it was a gift too.

I’m really loving some of these strollers. Why didn’t I know these existed when I bought strollers for Caleb. Yes I said strollers. With an “S”. Because I was referring to all five of them.

This is a Bumbleride Queen B. I like this stroller. I love this stroller. I can just feel the stroller envy moms looking at it. I’m one of those moms. I’m always checking out everyone’s stroller. Men have cars. Women? Strollers. I like the fabric and the pram style that still maintains steering ability. The basket is a little poopy (pram like though). I would rather have canvas/fabric/whatever the stroller material is. But I’m willing to look past the basket, and on to the huge canopy, big rubber, air-filled, removable(!) tires, forward facing or parent facing seat, and adjustable handle bar.

Then there’s the Orbit Baby stroller & infant seat. This thing is just wicked. If you need proof, watch their video. See if you aren’t bobbing your head, tapping your foot, and/or snapping your fingers to the music by the end. You might even be saying, I’ve got to have that. Until you look at the price tag. Wowzers. But it is still really cool right?!
