On the hunt

Have you ever made your list, and checked it twice??? And then once you get to the store they don't have what you need/want? This was Christmas shopping at its finest on Saturday. Mostly done, but needed a few more (specific) items, Rich and I headed out for a 'quick' run to the store. It turned into a 3 hour extravaganza looking for two things. We quickly figured out that the hot toy of the year is a Penguin Webkinz. And we have a determined little girl that wants nothing else. They all said the same thing.
"we have lots of webkinz over there, but we're out of the penguin. Good luck finding one..."
And the other was a Cars spiral speedway. It has two twirly ramps with two little cars cars. Perfect for Max.
Well. 24 hours later we have to say thank you to ebay who had a penguin lil'kinz webkinz (that we paid too much for, but we have it) and a hard working late shift employee at Walmart who spent the night searching the stock room for the spiral speed way that the computer said was there but two other employees said was not there. Christmas is complete. Just need some candy. 15 days to go...

awsome, I still have a few parents, well Dad's, and Justin to buy for, and for me those are the hardest because they have everthing, But the stuff they want I don't understand, like tools and Computers, so I don't know how to bye the specifics. Ackkk
