spring break day 5

friday morning, grammy {my mom}, the varmints and i got up early to do more treasure-hunting at garage sales!!!  i didn't find anything, but the varmints did!  the first place we stopped, i spotted a box of rocks so i pointed it out to spencer.  the sticker on top said 50 cents, but we weren't sure if that meant 50 cents each or 50 cents for the whole box.  spencer asked a man that was working there about it, and he said he wasn't really sure.  while he was asking other people about it, colby came along and was suddenly interested in this box

of rocks.  {spencer is the one who collects them.}  the man finally said to spencer, "how much will you give me for them?"  colby jumped right in holding his 2 quarters in the air and said, "i'll give you 50 cents!" and the man handed the box to colby!!!!  spencer was SO MAD!  of course colby ended up sharing the rocks with spencer, but there was a lot of silence in the car for a while after that!

after lunch, daryl arrived in edmond and our family went to guthrie.  my main goal was to treasure hunt at all the wonderful antique stores there!  since daryl spent part of his childhood in guthrie, he wanted to show us some special places {loved that!}.  this is the first house he lived in when they moved to guthrie:

and this is the second one:

after touring the town, we stopped and had some ice cream at this little store in downtown guthrie.  a man and a teenage boy were walking down the sidewalk with two little weenie dogs on leashes.  they stopped in front of the ice cream store, and tied their little doggies to the light post out front like they were horses!  colby loves dogs, so he stayed out there and talked to them while we ordered his ice cream.  after the men left with the dogs, colby came running up to me and said, "mom! guess what that little brown weenie dog's name was!!!  OSCAR!!!"  i thought he was kidding me since he had heard my comment several days ago about me naming a weenie dog oscar if i had one.  but he assured me that when the man untied him he said, "c'mon oscar, let's go!!"  HOW COOL IS THAT?!!  so guess what my picture of the day is for

 friday?  OSCAR!  i even managed to snap a picture while he was shaking his head so it looks like his ears are flying away!
