I actually went to Walmart

I took the kids to Walmart today. Ugh, I know, I HATE Walmart. It is dirty and the people are not helpful. In my mind Target and Fred Meyer are better somehow (although I am not so impressed with Target lately). I think in the last 7 years, I have been to Walmart less than 5 times and most of those were in New Mexico where the choice was Walmart or Kmart. At least they were clean there.

Each kid received a $10 gift card to Walmart at Christmas. I needed to buy wrapping paper for Littlebit's birthday, so I decided to take them there and let them spend there money. It was hard to find things for less than $10 that Lovey wanted. He was thrilled to pick out something by himself, but kept going to the $20 and $30 items. Finally he settled on a soccer ball, kite, glitter glue, and pipe cleaners. (He wants to make some hearts out of them for decoration.) Littlebit got a Nerf ball, Cinderella bouncy ball, and construction paper. I think the best part for them was they picked out what they wanted and paid for it themselves. When we got home they immediately went outside to play with the toys.
