Wishful Thinking

Last night Larry graciously went on a midnight run to Wal-Mart for me.

(okay... it wasn't quite midnight, but still dark...gosh I can't lie it was 9pm...but that's like midnight for parents of little kids, right?)

Back on topic...
My list of course started with 3 items and before dinner was over it had grown to about 25. I mean heck, if he's going he might as well pick up more paint, a bread loaf pan and chips. But for some reason there always ends up being a few extra treats that weren't on the list. AKA: black licorice, a tub of ice cream, Marshmellow Matty's, Dr. Pepper, etc...

To my kids surprise when they checked the snack basket this morning was classic! Emma was more then OVER-JOYED of the little snack-packs of Pringles Chips.

E: "Mom, these are great! When did we get these?"
Me: "Daddy got them at the store last night."
E: "Did Daddy have much money?"

Apparently my excuse of "No, we can't get that because we don't have the money." is starting to sink in. Maybe.
