Look Ma! NO HANDS!

Ok, more catching up to do...

We came home from vacation a week ago yesterday. Tony loves to be home mid week so that he still has some much needed days at home with us before he returns to work. Well, one afternoon we were just hanging around and he got the idea to go look for a new "toy" for the girls. Our excuse was that we didn't have a big hoopla for the girls' second birthdays because we had only been home about a month and they were just overwhelmed with Christmas. Our plan was to have a 2 1/2 birthday party in July, but that never came to fruition. Never mind the girls were clueless about all this, we decided they needed a present. So Tony went and picked out a NEW Jeep for them!

This, my friends, is a Barbie Jeep. It's all awash in pink, purple, and lime green. It's quite the ride, if you ask me. It also comes standard with a real working radio!

Well, the girls didn't know what to think the next day when they got to ride in it. Yes, the NEXT day because the stinkin' battery takes 16 some hours to charge! How horrible for a parent, I mean kid to have to wait all that time!!!

So we rolled it out into the yard, put the girls in, explained how it worked, blah, blah, blah. On to the cuteness...

Aren't they stylin' in their new set of wheels? This, by the way, is how you will almost always see the girls sitting. Laney prefers for Abby to drive. Why? I'm totally unsure because THIS is how Abby drives...

She ALWAYS gets distracted and doesn't pay attention to where she's going!

OR

Drives while having a death grip on the windshield...NOT the wheel...

OR

She is playing with the radio. (Which is pretty cool by the way) But look, Laney is totally unfazed! Do you want to know why Laney is totally cool with her sister's crazy driving habits? It's because she's figured out how to push the gas herself...from the passenger's seat. She lets Abby FEEL like she's in control, all the while, knowing she can take her own foot off the gas pedal to avoid certain danger! HA!

Hindsight? The wheel is too stiff for them to turn, so we look quite comical chasing them down as they try to maneuver it. Maybe we should have waited.

Tony's conclusion?
"That was the most expensive radio I have ever purchased."
