Man!!! We (Natalie) found the bargains today! The day started out looking for a toddler bed. We finally found one that we liked that we were going to order from WalMart. Natalie's sister suggested Craigslist, which we have checked before, but found nothing. This time however was a little different. I have been browsing Craigslist and the local ads for several months now looking for a double Chariot Cougar, or someone that may want to trade a double for a single. The cheapest you can find for a double is usually around $500.00-$600.00. Which is why when Natalie said she found one in Georgetown for $300.00, I had to jump on it. It was a 2008, but in great condition! The lady I contacted said if I wanted to come pick it up, she would be in Dillon for the day, so I ended up driving to Dillon to pick up this Chariot Cougar 2. It also came with the stroller wheels, jogging wheel, and bicycle attachment and an extra hitch. This was a steal! The hitch and extra attachments costs $20-$80 new depending on which ones you buy, and the Chariot could easily have gone for double the cost, since it's in such great shape! Great find #1!!!
You can see the obvious size difference in the frame width, and the jogging wheel width. May take some getting used to in the spring/summer when we are ready to begin using it...
Great find #2 was this Toddler bed which was also on Craigslist, however this one was located in Eagle. So we went to check it out. It looks exactly like the one below. It's even white, which is what we wanted. Got the bed and mattress for 30 bucks (Would have been no less than $100.00 new from the store!) Cayle will be ready to move into a big boy bed soon! He already started sitting on the potty yesterday! We bought a little toilet seat that he sits on. He sits on it and laughs and gives me high fives! Nothing else yet... may be a while, but he has been consistent in the mornings, so we'll see I guess....
Natalie had a super rough day at school, only spending a very brief amount of time in her classroom. The rest of the time was spent doing AD work investigating an incident from a basketball game last night. Apparently a few of the girls decided it would be a good idea to have some "cocktails" on the bus ride home, mixed with gatorade.... Not much thought (intelligent thought) anyway was put into that decision.... Made for a long day for my wife, so when we got home I told her to go out for some appetizers with a bunch of other teachers from school at The Grand Avenue Grill. I think the Italian Nachos may have helped her unwind a bit. 
Weather was pretty nice earlier today. About 32 and sunny, so I took Cayle out for a little bike ride. My first ride on the "new" bike. We rode the golf course, with about an inch of snow on the ground from last night. I had my first crash of the year as well, and it happened before we were even out of the subdivision. Getting ready to turn a corner, I didn't realize that there was a sheet of ice under the snow I was riding on, and just went down, and went for a little slide... no harm done, was the least painful crash ever! Doesn't feel too bad sliding on ice. Startled myself and Cayle more than anything else. No harm done to the new bike parts though!!! Rest of the ride was great! We got first tracks on the cart path!
