The up side to the dollar store is to hear your mom say - you can pick anything you want in this entire store. So Tyler picked a plastic mean-looking gorilla. You'll notice no picture of this gorilla because it literally broke into many pieces while we were still in the parking lot - the poor kid hadn't even buckled up yet! That's the down side to the dollar store . . . it's junk.
Well Bay and Emmy picked out something that cracks me up every time I see it their room. Emmy picked the dog - his name is Smelly (I had to ask some follow up questions on his name so I wouldn't be confused - his name is Smelly because he's good at smelling things, not because he stinks). Bay picked the cow - his name is Cow (no follow up questions were needed). So thank you Dollar Store for thrilling 2 out of 3 kids and one mean slave driver.

Way to go Amy! I think you need to give me some pointers on actually getting them to work "hard". Our last dollar store purchase, a book light, broke in the car as well.
As one taskmaster to another--I commend you for keeping slavery alive and well in your own home. hehe.
I am so in love with "Smelly" the dog--that is so cute! You know I think Emmy and Savvy are cut from the same piece of cloth--she is also obsessed with dogs--and would fill a shelf up with dog figurines if I'd let her. Actually, she has. Unfortunately, that is not all she collects--she also has a gnome shelf, a nutcracker shelf and a cat shelf. All fine on their own==but together it is ug.
P.S. Hey Hicksville (hehe): Here is your question answered: Larry H. Miller and his fancy megaplex theaters have pre-assigned seating. You buy your tickets online (for a small fee)--and pick your seats--they even have the seating chart to view so you can see what's available. If you don't want to pay the extra money for online seats--you can just go to the theater and purchase them there--still assigned though. Kinda cool if you ask me--and it beats the heck out of standing in line an hour before the movie starts.
Oh, Tyler needs a re-do at the dollar store Nal! Man your kids are into animals- Good for them for earning all their prizes this summer. Good for you for teaching them to work, and good for all of us there's such a thing as the dollar store.
You do feel like a great mom when you can say "you can pick out any thing you want in the whole store". We're do for a trip there ourselves soon.
It sounds like you got the bribery or slavery down pat. You've got good little workers bees and Tyler needs a redo, Al is right!
