I had to finish my Christmas shopping and took the boys with this morning. That's dangerous. They want everything. We had a LONG chat in the car before we went into Home Depot that this morning we were only buying presents for other people. So that means no Angry Birds. Henry finally agreed that he wouldn't get any Angry Birds but we had to go to stores that didn't have Angry Birds ... because then he couldn't get any. Makes perfect sense ... if you're four. So into Home Depot we ventured. Sam was riding on the cart and Henry was pushing. They were laughing and pointing at all the inflatable decorations. Look, it's Snoopy! Look, it's a snowman! Look, it's Mickey.
As we wandered down the aisle, I saw a HUGE Angry Bird inflatable. A pig, sling shot, and red bird. It was $58. That wasn't happening. I should also mention that Dave hates inflatables. I talked about bringing a snowman home last year and he decided that was not happening. Fun hater! Although if I had it my way, I would have a 10-foot dinosaur with a santa hat in our front yard, so it's probably good one of us has the ability to exercise restraint when it comes to these things. Long story short, as we were wandering down the aisle we saw a red bird perched on a present. For only $12, I decided we had to have him. Whoever says you can't buy happiness is shopping at the wrong places! Look at that face. Someday I'll start saying no to silly things we don't need, but today wasn't that day.
