Mail is awesome!

After Halle Kate and I picked up Matney at school on Friday (it was pj day) we came home to some very exciting mail. First, the envelopes. Matney and Halle Kate each had an envelope in the mailbox from MoMo with a valentines card and.....

....wait for it, still trying to figure out how to open it....

....Ta Da! Their very own money. These were some seriously happy girls who started begging to go to Walmart. Poor things had to wait more than 18 hours with that money burning a hole in their pockets!

Matney was so funny. Her immediate comment when she realized what she had and what she could do was "Oh, Mommy! Guess what? MoMo must have seen the new LaLaLoopsy Little Sisters at her Walmart and knew I needed one from my Walmart!" Sweet girl, she's been drooling over those for a weeks since they were released.

And Halle Kate - we didn't have any idea what to expect her choice to be. (Don't you love the shirt? That was mine 30 years ago! She demands to wear it all the time.)

We went this morning to WalMart and it took them all of 4 seconds to pick out what they wanted. Matney grabbed the LaLaLoopsy of her dreams - Jewel Sparkles with her kitty and tiara.
Halle Kate announced in the car that she wanted a baby doll...I told Jared to STEP ON IT and get us to Walmart quickly! I had expected that we were about to have another TowMater join the family so when she said babydoll I was not letting the opportunity pass! She did go up and down the row several times because she only wanted a boy baby. The doll that made the cut is dressed like a cow, has a baby cow toy and Moos. I am not a fan of another noisy toy but it sure beats another car or dinosaur! Thanks Momo!

Now on to part two of awesome Friday.......
