Mary's and Pamida...what a day!

V-e in her raincoat.
At Mary's...not sure what to think of all the ...stuff.

Pamida...What?

V-e, loving the sucker uncle matt gave her.

In her new sweatshirt from gma margaret. So cute!

Yesterday was absolutely GORGEOUS! Matt wanted to get out and so did we so we decided to take an adventurous trip to Mary's consignment. Oh boy. Any of you who have ever been there know that it is definetly an adventure. Never know when mice or worse will come crawling out and I always feel like I need a shower when I leave there. They have some nice things...but WAY overpriced and they have alot of junk too. You will see in the picture of Vaughnie (it was her first mary's experience! she wasnt sure what to think....) that you can see several of the trailors of trash behind her. I went in hopes of finding a headboard (getting sick of my pillows falling behind my bed at night.) and I found a couple I liked but they were way too expensive, will keep my eye out at garage sales and on craigslist. After mary's we headed to winterset. Its a beautiful drive there and I was hoping to go to one of the parks there and let vaughn-elise play. Matt had other plans so we made a pit stop at Pamida...yes, Pamida. Who knew those even still existed? We never made it to the park because matt was far too inthrawled with Pamida.

We came home, I made a humongous homemade cheeseburger pizza for supper and then amanda and phillippe and kiddos came over to open gifts from our sweet gma margaret! We got lots of fun stuff and we all got cool t-shirts from Illinios. Vaughn is wearing her new sweatshirt from gma today and she loves it...keeps pointing out the butterfly.

Oh yeah, the homemade donuts I made turned out okay too.... I thought they were delicious...but not as cakey as I had hoped. Anyways, we are home today since the weather is kinda icky today. Im finally uploading some pictures.

A neat thing. Vaughn has officially learned the colors purple and yellow. She will say others but she knows these two and can pick out things that are yellow or purple. Yesterday I put an outfit on her that was purple pants and top and she said without me saying anything about it. "Mama, poople! " and was pointing at the pants. She does this all the time now. Yellow is her favorite and points it out even if there is somehting tiny yellow on another toy. Crazy. but so cute to hear her say them.
