We didn't take any pictures yesterday, and that's okay with me. I did have a wonderful day, though. Lots of Happy Birthday wishes make for a great day. Bailey really, really wanted to get me something. Haha. I always say that if she makes me something that's all I need, but she sometimes gets a wild hair and just doesn't give up on the idea of purchasing something. So she went on www.walmart.com to get some ideas. It's good to know that I'm so easy to buy for, and that Walmart will pretty much have something to suit me perfectly. Haha. We were meeting Shawn for dinner at Claim Jumper at 5:00pm, and had about an hour to kill, so I dropped the three kiddos at Walmart and I waited in the car. How silly does this sound? So, I'm thinking ... "hmmm, how much money to give them?" What could they even find at Walmart? So I hand them $60 and say "go for it". What a great little experiment to see what my darling children will decide on for me with $60 from Walmart.
Thirty minutes later they are back, bag in hand. With $40.34 change? What the heck? Now I'm really curious what they've decided to get for $19.66 (which by the way is the year I was born. I'm just sayin'. That's kind of weird.) Anyway, I say wow. You have change? And they say they figure I'd be happy to have some change. Um, okay? And then they inform me that Kale also bought a card (Austen and Bailey made theirs), and a gift bag. This is just getting better and better.
So, we headed to Claim Jumper. The food was delicious, and CJ has been doing this scratcher thing where you receive two scratchers to be scratched off at your next visit. Every single scratcher is a winner, even if it's just a free small dessert. Something along those lines. We had gotten a 10% off your order the last time, and I'm thinking, dang it would be so nice to receive that again. I'd love to get 10% off this order. You know ... Shawn ordered two apple martinis and Kale ordered fried mozarella sticks, and then we all ordered a little dessert. This wasn't going to be cheap. When the manager came over to do our scratchers, I was pretty stoked! We got 25% off the entire bill! Can you believe it? We saved almost $35! And I got a free dessert for my birthday. Pretty cool.
At home I finally got to open my gift. Homemade cards from Austen and Bailey. My favorite thing in the world. No offense to Kale, but he dropped the ball this year. haha. He knows I'm just messin'. He did write something nice in his store-bought card. Bailey made me a stack of coupons. Kind of funny. I rub her back every single night. I mean every. single. night. Without fail. So she made me about 10 coupons that state "no back rubbing". Isn't that precious? Like I'm gonna use a coupon to get out of rubbing her back. Adorable. She knows I'm still gonna rub her back. Then we have: feet rub, neck rub, back rub (for me), full massage (*giggle, giggle*), and there were two that said: "whatever you would like". This should be interesting.
So on to the Walmart gift ... they decided on a New Moon poster and a box of Russell Stover chocolates. I was thrilled. :)

I LOVE it. Sounds like it was a great day. Love Mom
It does sound like a great day!! What a cute gift that they picked out. Where will you put the new moon poster? Very cool idea to let them pick it out. I love that they thought you would be happy with change.... they must have been thinking about when you give them money to go out to eat with friends and you ask for change back...lol!!
