How to blow your budget in one day.

[AirmensMom]

Invite your grandson over ... the one you haven't seen for a year because he lives so far away. Then go toy shopping. After all, an active little boy needs something to play with, and all the toys are packed away in the boxes that happen to be on the bottom of the stack. You don't have to buy EVERYTHING he wants, but a few $20 toys will add up pretty quickly.

Ask me if it's worth it ...

HELL YES! :bounce: :woohoo: :loveya: :grouphug:

1. My dear AirmensMom!

Heck, one day?

How about five minutes?

OF course, he 's worth it!

You go, girl!

:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :woohoo: :yourock:

[AirmensMom]

2. Actually,

it took more than 5 minutes. When he found out he couldn't have everything in the store, it took at least 10 minutes for him to narrow down his choices. :rofl:

:toast: :bounce: :hi:

3. Awww..you're a good grandma!

Spoil the heck out of that little dumpling. They're only little once.

[AirmensMom]

4. I'm hopeless!

I promised to spoil him, but at least I won't send him home bratty. I can't believe how fast he's growing up. :cry:

5. It was money well spent!

:grouphug:

[AirmensMom]

6. I hope so!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: So far, his favorite toy is a $6 styrofoam airplane. Does it ever fly! :bounce: Almost flew over the fence to the cows' yard the other day, but it hit the top wire and stopped there. :rofl:

7. Good story...:)

I usually blow my budget big time at comic book stores...Yeah, I still act like a kid...:hi:

[AirmensMom]

9. So you'd be in REAL trouble

if you had a kid visiting you. No, wait -- you could read your comic books to the kid all day long. :P


:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

8. Pics?

I'll bet he's a real cutie.



:hug:

[AirmensMom]

10. He is that.

I'll work on getting some pics. Got a great one with him and the kitty. :D

:hug:


Edit: Forgot to say what his favorite toys are ... the "bowldoozer" and "backhole". :rofl:

11. This is why I LOVE the $1 store

I don't know how old your grandson is but my 6yr old daughter is just as crazy looking at the toys at the $1 store as she is at Toys R Us. I know it won't last for much longer so I'm relishing every cheap moment of this while I can. ;)

[AirmensMom]

12. $1 store?

:wow: You mean I missed an opportunity? He's 5, so I'm sure he would love it! I'm sure there's one around here. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Oh I am sure he is worth more than that

Maybe you should go with him to that candy store in Jonesborough :evilgrin:

[AirmensMom]

14. Right.

And then YOU can come over and watch him bounce off the walls. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. LOL

let him in the store till it wears off :rofl:

And maybe it is an improvement in the house when he bounces off the walls :D

15. Hi AirmensMom!!

:hi: good to see you are having fun with the grandkid. Cherish each moment and take lots of pics!!:loveya:

when I first clicked on here I thought it was going to be about going over budget on the house!!:rofl:


:hug:

[AirmensMom]

16. Hi wildhorses!

:hi: Yeah ... we're having fun. We sure does wear a body out, though!

We haven't gone over budget on the house yet. But that's probably because no one has sent any bills to the builder. :rofl: We're going to come in under budget for the well! :bounce:

Anyway ... good to see you! :bounce: :loveya: :hug: :hi:
