Happy Birthday!
Today is the big day for my son. He turns 12 years old today. Man, one more year and he's a teenager! Ugh!
My son and I had a big adventure hunt last night... He has been saving his allowance for awhile and also got a little birthday money. He's been wanting to get a Nintendo DS lite system for his birthday. So we went out to get one after dinner last night. We first went to Best Buy but they didn't have the black onyx one he wanted (they had plenty of white and pink ones). That was frustrating. So, we got back in the car and headed to Target. Again, plenty of white and pink ones, no black ones. UGH! When we left Best Buy, it had started raining pretty hard and we had no umbrella. So, now we're running in and out of Target. Okay... Off to Wal-Mart (which is across the street). Again, we ran in as it's raining pretty hard. We get back to the electronics dept.... white ones and pink ones... no black ones... AAAAAHHH!!! We're starting to run out of places that carry game systems! Next, we went to K-Mart. Now, our K-Mart is barely hanging on ... I'm surprised it hasn't shut down. The only thing I've heard that is keeping it going is it has a record money making pharmacy. We get to K-Mart (thankfully the rain has started to die down) and head back to the electronics dept.... They have only ONE of each color... BUT THEY HAVE A BLACK ONE!!! We grab it and get out of the store. About the only places left I can think that might have one would be EB Games in the mall and Hastings. Since it took so long to find one, my son didn't get to mess with it very long after we got home as it was almost time to go to bed. :-( Anyway, that was our big adventure for the evening... :-) The only thing I can think of why everyone was out of them was people were buying them up for Easter presents.
We're going to go out for dinner tonight at my son's choice before church. We already told him though that McDonald's was not one of the options. :-)
Happy Birthday Son and many more to come!
Blessings!
