As I said, we lost our bid by 2.50 on ebay for a pc armoire. Well, the seller called on Sat asking if we still wanted it.
Betsy said sure! but by the time he called it was late so we made plans to pick it up on Sunday.
It was in Pembroke mass - 44 miles east of us. I drove out Sun morn and got there at 10:15.
Put it in the back of the car, brought it home, B looked at it, said 'no way' and called the guy back. She was very good in stating that she was going to return it for several reasons. I took Adam bowling for an hour or so, got home around 1:30, had lunch, got in the car and drove it back out. All in all it was 186 miles that was all for naught. Bummer, and a wasted Sunday.
Other than that not too much excitement....
Family train ride from Franklin station to Forge Park (1 stop south; stayed on the train and rode back to Franklin) Quite exciting, but the conductor charged us 8 bucks(!!) to go 1 stop. Couldn't beleive it. I was pissed and he knew it.
Took Adam candlepin bowling on Sunday with his friends; he's good for about 5-6 times and then gets totally bored and is ready to go home. I didn't force him to stay and took him home. No need - it's supposed to be fun and when he's not having anymore fun then we're all done.
Sunday night before bedtime we brought Adam's train table and train sets up to his bedroom. He was so excited he couldn't slow down. Amazing what little things excite him.
Henry is starting to spit while he eats - very bad, it gets on your clothes and isn't easy to get off.
He's also getting real close to walking able to balance and stand on his own for 5-10 seconds and was taking 2-3 steps towards the couch/bed. Also can climb the stairs in seconds. Back to closing/opening gates. Uggh.....

Jason, what was wrong with the armoire?
it was poorly made. Not oak as described but veneer on pressboard.
missing a handle, had sticker residue, pet hair, scratches, etc.
It was worth about 25 bucks.
I think the person selling it created an alias acct on ebay and outbid whoever the highest bidder was and that's why it was still available. Can't prove it, but that's what I suspect.
