Power Wheels, Puzzles, and Preschool Antics

Welcome back, people.

As you may or may not recall, we bought the girls on Disney Princess PowerWheel this year for Christmas.  Lately I've been contemplating buying a larger battery for it - like, a car battery or something - and cutting out the plastic frame under the hood in order to house said battery (the batteries on these PowerWheels only last a day or two on a charge, which is hard for a preschooler to accept, let alone grasp).  

Anyway, the new ride has quickly become one of the kids' favorite toys, and I've been dying to try it out in an area larger than our backyard.  So the other day we drove it down to a local park and let the kids drive it around a soccer field...

Despite the fact that this PowerWheel has two seats, Abby prefers to ride standing in the back like a G.I. Joe.  All I need to do now is mount a machine gun on the back rack and they'll be ready to battle Cobra...

Checking out local plant life...

I always get nervous when the kids going exploring in the woods like this. Down here in Orlando, that's often where one can find used condoms or a dead body.  Or both!

Swingers.

 

Here's some other random crap from around the house over the last two weeks.  Enjoy.

NEVER underestimate the entertainment value of a stick.

Straightening hair with Alayna's cosmetic accessories....

It either says "Love God" or "Love Bob."  Either way works for me...

Here's some footage from a recent outing to Puzzles - that bounce house place we talked about earlier that donates its proceeds to funding Autistic research (that is, research to help fight Autism... not necessarily Autistic people conducting research...):
