Lesson Learned

     You never know when a life lesson is upon you~

     We have had a relaxing weekend with the girls as the boys are away fishing for the weekend.  We ran to Target yesterday to pick up a tube for Sweet~n~Sassy's bike and proceeded to mosey through the toy aisles with Mother Hen and Sweet~n~Sassy.  Of course, the "I wants" took over the rest of our browsing the toys.  We came to the Our Generation dolls, you know, the dolls that replicate the American Girl dolls at a fraction of the cost.  Because they receive the American Girl catalog in the mail, they had a heart attack when they saw the dolls at Target!  So, knowing they had Christmas money saved for a rainy day.......... they decided that this was the day to spend their money on their own doll!  Unfortunately, they left their money at home, so momma and daddy picked up the tab until we got home............

Introducing Mother Hen (with Katlyn) and Sweet~n~Sassy (with Emily)

     Mother Hen was quick to pay back her debt with no questions asked except "how much do I owe you?"

     Next was Sweet~n~Sassy...........

     As we began counting her money, she exclaimed, "I have a lot of money!"  We agreed.  We continued counting and laying out each dollar so she could visibly see $32.76. 

     And then, she realized that money was not hers anymore.  But that she had to hand it over to momma and daddy to pay her debt.

OH MY GOSH!
