Wahoo, shopping is done. Julie and I went shopping for the kids today and what I thought would be a piece of cake this year turned into a big deal. I am so out of tune with what kids want and like that I felt ancient in the store. One child asked for a robot dog to attack her brothers, I thought she was joshing but there actually is a robot dog and cat. What do I know!! We drew the line on BB guns but got the scooters 5 of them wanted. Of course we thought the babies would be easy, duh. There are just too many things to pick from. Phill went along to help with holding on to our purses, coats and the list. He uses one of the store electric carts so we filled his basket with our belongings. It was fun but it took too long to pick everything out for 23 kids.
Weather is still cold..big storm coming in on Saturday..couple of teenagers decided to go up on the mountain during last snowstorm and broke down, search and rescue had to send a helicopter after them at 2 am. Dumb and dumber, tried to make it up in 2 wheel drive truck.
I need to get my stuff finished for Christmas, what I really need to do is find the time. I am setting up Monday for the school kids to come to the community center at 1 pm and pick thru toys that I got donated. I am going to let them take something for each of their siblings and wrap it for Christmas. Also setting out some leftover bingo prizes for them to find stuff for their parents. I'll have wrapping paper and tags, so they can take them home and put under the tree.
Guess I better get busy here at home as I've been gone all day. Ruthie
