Sunday will be LL's 3rd birthday. We have been looking forward to his birthday because this year, he knows what birthday's are, and he is really very excited about it. I am not one to do big parties for my kids when they are very small, I feel like they don't remember it, they have no idea what is going on and that is just a lot of work, time and money that could be better spent elsewhere. I know, I know...bah hum bug.
I wanted to do a really big party for LL this year, but being 7 1/2 months pregnant, that just wasn't going to happen. So we opted for a smaller party to be held with just his little friends at a local jumper warehouse. He knows he's having a "Buzz Lightyear" birthday and it's been a lot of fun.
At church on Sunday, the Bishop gave him a chocolate bar (like a full sized grown up bar) and he thought that was awesome. Leonard and I wanted to get him a special gift for his birthday too. We decided on a Power Wheels (pictures will follow). We found it on special at Wal-Mart - it was a too good to pass up Roll Back. The only problem is...it's too good a deal to pass up. They are sold out everywhere.
I have spent hours calling every Wal-Mart in a 50 mile radius, checking Toy's R Us so they can match the price, calling Costco, Sam's, Target...you name the place, I've called looking for this particular one that we want. Finally I schmoozed and sucked up to a lady on the phone at Wal-Mart who has promised to hold her 1 and only Power Wheel that is on the truck being shipped from the warehouse. It should be here by Wednesday night. I can pick it up on Thursday, just in the nick of time. Now, I just have to hope she really calls when it arrives.
My only other hope is there is a Power Wheel on a truck headed to Pomona, I only know it should arrive some time this week. They told me when shipments arrive, but they made me no guarantees. I don't care. I'll be there at 8 AM every day if I have to but my kid will have his birthday present on Saturday come hell or high water!

It's like the ONE time G & I went to WalMart at 5 am to get the NEW Nintendo system for CHEAP. We were 1 of the lucky ones that day after Thanksgiving.
Had to laugh at Lisa's comment cuz she said what I was thinking!
