The Hills 9-1-08: Weekend in pictures

We started off the weekend going to Toys R Us to look for a baby gift for our next door neighbor and get an idea for Justin's birthday present. We didn't find the baby gift we were looking for, but Justin did find what he wanted for his birthday - a Thomas the Train table. I thought the table itself was kind of tacky and really expensive so Rob and I made him one! We were looking for a lego table also, so we made one that has a lego top and the train can sit on the lego plates too!



Here is the price for the table we got! It was dropped and the corner was all messed up, but we were putting an edge on it and covering the top anyways, so it was perfect!

















The finished product!













One basket for trains and one for legos!













By the way for those of you with Thomas lovers in your house (Heather!), we bought him a couple of starter sets at Michaels because they have the 40 and 50% off coupons in the paper every Sunday! The trains are the same price as the other stores to begin with too!








We went to Katie & Josh's on Sunday night for a cook out. They gave him his bday present - real boxing gloves...they are so cute! He loves using theirs when we go over there. The dogs have never begged to go outside so much as they have when Justin puts on the gloves :)

BTW-this is a 9 pound medicine ball!

Our pumpkin plants are getting infested :( We have 10 good size ripe pumpkins, but 4 have bugs. We are leaving the bad pumpkins there hoping the bugs stay on those. I did some research and they are squash bugs - I need to get the proper insecticide and make sure it won't hurt kids/dogs....








Being a brat!
















And back to angel :)















And now a ham!

















Getting clean after a fun night












Brandon, Jenna and Justin having ice cream last week when we were baby-sitting. They have a new baby brother who came home yesterday....I can't wait to go meet him! I'll take pictures when I do!









When we went to Toys R Us, this is right next door....smart marketing. Justin wanted to go so bad and it was only 10am, so there were only a few other people there - it was perfect! Here is Rob playing deal or no deal.....that's my favorite game :)

Squash bugs smell horrible when you squish them. We call them stink bugs:) They're awful!

Great idea for Justin's birthday, that table looks awesome.
