. . .I'm referring to the Lindsay Lohan of 2005's "Herbie Fully-Loaded" movie, not the Lindsay Lohan of detox and anorexia fame, although I do realize she is one in the same ;) Following the example (and over-the-phone crafty advice)of a friend of mine who 'pimped' a ride for her friend's son, Casey & I changed Marley's Little Tikes Cozy Coupe from this:
to this:
It was a fun project and helped Casey get over the 'blues' he was feeling when Dave & Keller went out for a 'date' today. He kept saying "Daddy & Keller are the ones who are missin' out now. They are going to be so 'yealous'". We worked hard--removing stickers/tape/glitter glue, scrubbing, prepping, painting, and adding the finishing touches.
He was so proud to show it off when the guys got home. He hid in the shed and when I opened the doors, he came cruising down the ramp to show it off. Keller & Dave had an incredible day which included: Natural History Museum, Ford's Theatre & Museum, dinner with our friend Brianne, and then the icing on the cake--kayaking on the Potomac, exploring Roosevelt Island, and swimming in the river. And yet, when Keller saw our new Herbie car, there were a few tears shed over the missed project! He already has ideas for how he'd like to do one. We picked this one up from the neighbor's trash a few months ago, so we'll be keeping our eyes out at yard sales, etc. for another. The funniest part is that the boys are both really too big to ride the car, but they are totally excited about it anyway.
In other news . . .
We had a fun visit with the Canady family yesterday and I think Marley has her first boyfriend. But maybe not. She was into it at first, but then . . .
"You won't be needing this, babe" (as he removes the foam baseball bat from her hands)
"How YOU doin'?"
