I've been scouring Craigslist looking for a trampoline for the boys and for an exercise bike for me. I've become a blob and need to work it off. I don't have the cash for a gym membership (which in all honesty I probably wouldn't use anyway) and I hate walking the neighborhood. The cheapest that I have seen any bike going for is $40, so that was the price that I was going to pay. Until today. I got an air resistance bike for $5 bucks. The only way you could beat that price would be if it was for free. Sweet.
A side bonus of today's garage sale-ing was a big box of sheet music and lesson books for another $5 bucks.
All in all, it was a great day for garage sales.
Oh and to show that I have been creative over the past couple of days, check out what I've been doing with the boys:
A new Star Wars Cantina and Starship:
And a very cool castle:
Last September, as part of the Eldest's birthday gift, I bought 11 pounds of Legos off of Ebay. It was a huge misc. assortment. We had no idea what we would be getting. I built everything in the above two pics with what we got in the box. Not bad for a bunch of misc. pieces, huh? The mini-figures were from some of the Eldest's other Star Wars sets. But they worked perfect with my futuristic cantina. As far as the boys are concerned, I'm the coolest Mom in Town. Oh yeah.
Who said only Dads can build with legos?
