As you know, Baby Doll and Curly are off-track, likely their last off-track ever since we are changing to a traditional school schedule in the fall, so we are trying hard to have a bunch of fun adventures. Even the Tooth Fairy is on board! Curly lost a tooth over the weekend and in exchange, he received a letter attached to a $20 bill that told him to use it for another grand adventure.
So the thing both he and Baby Doll wanted to do was make a trip to their favorite place to eat out, Chick-Fil-A. I had a rather large commitment that took most of the day, so we didn't get a chance to go until 4:00, but that worked in our favor since it was a slow time to eat out.
After we got our food, we sat in a booth, munched on fries and chicken sandwiches, and I offered my $30 in Penney's credits for them to use since we were literally next door to the store. The first thing we bought was a BYU hoodie for Crafty who has finally decided that BYU is the school she wants to attend even though their acceptance did not come with a large check to cover her tuition.
It's a good thing the hoodie was on clearance! You know me, everything we bought was on clearance. Baby Doll got a couple of cute metal headbands and Curly got a black and white shirt (which he ended up bleeding all over at basketball tonight, but that's a different story...) With Crafty's hoodie and their new things, we ended up paying $1.15.
We finished up just in time to leave for Sports City to pick up Scout from Volleyball practice. So many grand adventures, so little time...
Yes, I wonder often how you have time to have all the adventures you do. How fun to only owe that small amount. I do love those perks we get sometime. Wow, your tooth Fairy is rich. In my day I got a quarter in in our children’s day they got a dollar. This is big time inflation.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs for all!
This is WAAAYYYY more than our kids usually get from the Tooth Fairy. That is why it was noteworthy enough to warrant its own blog post. I only got a dime.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for Crafty! BYU is such a fabulous school! I have a niece and a nephew headed there in the fall, and possibly another nephew... he's still debating which acceptance letter he will be accepting. I wonder if they'll bump into each other at all on campus!
