This week's trip to Wal-Mart was much less stressful. There were just as many people there, but we were one child shy and I wasn't ready to rip people's heads off. That's always good. But let me make a small suggestion...never take a pregnant woman with the munchies to the grocery! It's just a bad idea. I have a pantry full of pop-tarts, sun chips, cereal, crackers, and other junk.
As I was cruising the aisle in the grocery section, I saw the back of a little girl's head at the end of the aisle. Her hair was jet black and my first thought was of Brando and Yin. About that time she & her mom turned their heads. Guess who it was. Yup...Brando & Yin. Yin told me Santa is bringing her a "purple prize" much to her mom's surprise! Brando said to hang in there, apparently my kids aren't the only ones going a little c-r-a-z-y right now.
We went to the pharmacy where #1 Son walked up to the counter and demanded his "pink medicine." When they brought out the amoxicillin, it was white. I thought he was going to cry. That's when the ladies realized they'd forgotten to mix the medicine. He was much happier when it came back pink.
Oh, and Grace, I'm all with you on the Bratz thing. They are banned from my house. The blatant sexualization of children & toddlers (Brats Babies) is revolting. OK, enough of my soap box.
These are #1 Son's ornaments. He has 8 years of Snoopy ornaments. Q.M. bought them originally for Grandpa M&M, but when we couldn't find a collection to start for #1 Son, Grandpa offered his. I love them.

We don't do Bratz at this house either... NOT AT ALL. Hate 'em. It's funny, we were at my Stepson's school and his mom was there with her daughter, and her daughter was playing with one of those Bratz dolls, and I had to chuckle - it would figure that we are so different - RIGHT DOWN TO THE TOYS WE LET OUR KIDS PLAY WITH.
Those things creep me out.
Yah, those Bratz Babies are pittiful. Mom and I were shopping together the other day at Walmart. I picked one up to show mom and wasn't quiet about my opinion of them. I turned a couple heads with my big mouth. There are a bunch of them (Bratz) sitting over at the church waiting to be picked up during Jubilee tomorrow. Trust me, I made my opinion about the church supplying the young girls in our community with those known to everyone. Unfortunately they try to supply the kids with things that are on their wish list. I personally think the "bling, bling" thing should be banned!!
Cate's Toy Alert for FW and her friends: Polly Pocket Cruise Ships are on sale at Amazon reduced from 49.99 to 19.99!..Don't know if your kids are old enough, there are a lot of little parts, but it was a very good deal...and today's the last day for super saver shipping which means FREE!
I wanted to get a gift for the little girl who lives next door to the kids so this was great for me. There are some other toys that are way discounted too.
I'm being Santa's little helper today!
i had a student at the tutoring center i worked at who wanted a gift certificate to a certain store with the points she had earned. (she was in middle school). i went into the store, saw that some of the clothes looked like they belonged in victoria's secret, and turned right around and walked out. her mom and i had a little talk about appropriate clothing with her, and she picked a different store for her prize.
when i spent the summer in mexico an 8 year old girl had a shirt that said "sexy" across it. i asked her if she knew what it meant. she thought it meant "pretty". then i tried to explain to her, in a way an 8 year old would understand without being too detailed, that it meant more than that. ugh.....
i had to change my red chenille sweater tonight before we went out because it doesn't fit so well anymore. it was almost like kim possible. darn it.
