Make room, we have a new ride!!!

Well, kinda sorta...it's only for little ones ;P Allen finally decided that Averi could have a power-wheel car, but not without some guilt...and it wasn't from me!! A couple of weeks ago, he had been pushing Averi in the swing & she kept on insisting "higher". So, he pulled her back as far as he could and gave her one BIG push! Next thing we know, right when she peaks, she's flying & flipping in the air and lands face-down! Yes, face-down on the ground screaming and crying! I don't know who screamed louder, me or her!! We both ran to her & Allen scooped her up and just held her! SCARY! Luckily, there wasn't one bump, scrape, or broken bone! Whew! As soon as she calmed down, she said "I want to swing again, but daddy I don't want you to push me anymore!" Then followed, "Will you buy me a Barbie car?" HA! She's a fast learner! A few days later we went to our local Walmart to find the only one in stock!! Yippee!! We took it out of the box, but only to be disappointed. The darn thing was cracked!! It broke our hearts to see our daughter go from super excited to extremely upset within just a few minutes!! So, then we searched all Walmarts & Targets within a 100 mile radius to find nothing in stock or with a reasonable shipping cost! A few more days passed and we just broke down & quietly purchased it online directly from power-wheels...and the pictures say the rest!
