Page 3??? I don't think so!

Thanks T, I may have some exciting news for you

Mo knows the answer BTW Mo where are you? Are you and Rocky OK?

Yes, I may or may not have made Elllie a tiny bit upset about the non Brit thing.

I'm here, see update on TFW.

It was mid afternoon and didn’t have any trouble finding a parking space…right near WoD. Oh yeah, somebody wanted those credit cards to get some exercise. We headed straight to WoD and let loose.

Oh where to start…Kelly wanted jewelry, that’s my girl, so we started with a pair of Pooh earrings, then moved onto a HSM necklace, and the some Mickey earrings and a couple of crown rings, oh and a bracelet with her initial. Oh and let’s not forget the Hannah Montana watch.

My turn, I got a new pair of gold Mickey earrings and some new pens for work. This has become my tradition. I buy myself nice pens for work so I can have a little piece of my happy place while I am earning the money for it. I would love to have fun pens for work, but I need to keep up appearances if YKWIM. I also picked up some gel pens for a coworker that asks for them each time I go.

The WDW hoodie I had wasn’t looking so good so Kelly insisted that I get a new one. See more proof that she is Murph Jr, she is enabling me.

Oh and I may have gotten a ring too.

Kelly wanted to get some souvies for her family. Her mom wanted a mug, so that was our next stop and her dad (my brother) is a bit of a grump, so of course we picked out a Grumpy shirt for him.

After letting the credit cards do their thing, we headed out to the other stores. Next stop was the sport store (can’t remember the name as I usually walk by it) and got her brother a t-shirt. He is a big OSU fan (SIL’s mom was a cheerleader for the football team, it’s in his blood) so we got him an OSU shirt. Real Disney huh? We went to the toy store and surprisingly we walked in and walked all the way through and walked back out. Didn’t buy a thing.

You all still with me?

OK, so next we went to the Christmas store, I like to get an ornament of each trip I take with the kids as a nice reminder on the tree. I got the 2008 GF ornament. Kelly picked out a POOH ornament for her tree. While in this store I got a text from DLMama, I don’t text, so I called her back and we chatted for a few, though it was hard to hear her in that store, Sorry T.

Kelly really wanted to hit Goofy’s so that was next. As we walked in she saw where you can get a bag and fill it with the different candies. She asked if she could get that for her sister who loves candy. The sign said $2.98 / pound (or so I thought ) so I said go for it. I love me some chocolate covered pretzels, so I got me some of those. Kelly decided she too wanted a bag of candy too so of course I told her to have fun and get whatever she wanted.

Kelly also mentioned her neighbor who always gets her something so she asked if she could get something for them. We got a bag of gold coins for them. I thought it was so sweet that she thought of them I wanted to encourage that sort of thoughtfulness.

It was now time to see how much it added up to. The cashier stated I owed her over $40.

Um, exsqueeze me?!?!?!?!?

Turns out the bags of candy are $2.98 for a quarter pound, not a pound.

I handed over the card and left it at that. Kelly was happy and smiling and I certainly wasn’t going to tell her to put the stuff back. Good thing I saved that $45 on the rental card the day before huh?

With that the credit cards were exhausted and begging for mercy so we headed back to the GF.

Next up Aunt Mo meets karma

That is fantastic!

Good or bad?

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

What a great aunt and Kelly is a sweet kid thinking of others. Lots of kids would be all about the " me me me" if let loose in a store.

I do the same thing evey year. This year the POP one was the same as last year, just with a different year

It's a good thing Kelly was paying attention.

I like to do this, too. It's great to unwrap them from year to year.

What a rockin' Aunt you are! I would have let out an audible gasp at $40 in candy.

 

[KatGarcia]

[englishrose47]

I'm guessing your card was too hot to read properly at that point.

I have to say Kelly is a great kid, well behaved, doesn't ask for too much and is a wise a$$. I love her sense of humor!
