March Photo A Day - Cars

I've been doing a bit of spring cleaning the past few days and I've gotten to the point of sprucing up the porch. Most of the girls outdoor toys have ended up in a big jumbled mess in the corner of the porch which drives me insane because it looks like the outdoor toy department at Toys-R-Us exploded on the porch.

Luckily, the house we are living in now comes with massive amounts of outdoor storage. One of the areas we opted to use as a playroom of sorts. The girls don't actually play in it because BUGS! But they keep most of their larger and less played with toys out there. In the process of moving the outside toys to the playroom, I figured I might as well clean it up and make it a bit more functional. Eventually, I'd like to completely finish the space and make it much more usable which equates to less buggy.

Check out what I found while I was cleaning!

 

Scott loves cars. Aside from RPG it is his only real hobby. Since Ashleigh was a toddler, he has been collecting Matchbox and Hot Wheels for her and then for Cyra. The case above is double sided and most compartments are double parked. 

One of my favorite memories is of Scott and Ashleigh playing cars together when we first moved back to Florida. Ashleigh had one of those rugs with the streets and town on it and she took great delight as driving all the wrong ways she could, parking in the grocery store and deliberately crashing into Scott's carefully placed row of hot rods.

Both the girls grew up loving Scooby-Doo insane amounts - well, I guess they actually still really love Scooby-Doo. The Mystery Machine is actually one of five Scooby-Doo cars that came in a pack (Freddy has a Bronco!) but the van is my favorite.

This is another of my favorites in the collection. I'm not sure what kind of car it is but it is such a beautiful rusty orange and it sparkles like gems in the sunlight.

Here's the same car but in black and white. I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I posted both.
