Calling all Rogers

As we left a doctor's appointment last week, we passed Cochrane Home Treasures, which is a charity store that you can donate your used goods to, and others can come and buy them for a really great price. We've donated many a toy there, and also purchased a few items for ourselves. As we passed, I noticed a large power-wheels style dump truck sitting outside the store. I kept driving and then decided to pull a u-turn to check it out. It was only $25, but was without battery, but hey, $25 is a great deal. Bought it! Of course, loading it into the back of the van was harder than I realized as it was crazy heavy, but I managed. We got it home and the kids immediately enjoyed some time on it. Max kept grabbing the radio and saying things like, "Come in Roger", "Don't worry Roger, we'll come get you.", "Goodbye Roger". I busted a gut realizing that he had heard radio talk somewhere before and thought that it was someone named "Roger" on the other end that he was speaking to. So cute. Battery is still to be purchased, but climbing on the thing is nearly as fun as driving it, so it was a worthwhile purchase in my mind.

Such a cute story. Nice find too! We found the same kind of thing at a garage sale. A jeep for $20. It's been one of the best buys we have ever made!
