Today: sponsored by Palm Pre
Today we drove out to Petsmart; where a company had linked us with a couple who wanted Shadow. Shadow has been causing me some health problems (Asthma) – and we had to find him a new home. Well we did; and they called this evening; and he already is laying down on the sofa; he’s moved on :-/. So quick. 
From there we went on to Fuddruckers; the kids new favorite place; they like chicken and fries; and of course Jenny and I get Hamburgers. It is very tasty; and the kids also like it because a balloon man comes around and gives out balloons. 
Nicholas got a purple dog called.. ‘Shadow’.. Emily got a Tiger; and Lauren came away with a Princess hat; she wanted an actual Princess; but balloon man wasn’t up to that; so she got a princess hat; which she was equally happy with. 
She looked quite fetching in her special Princess hat; and many of the Fuddy locals had ooohs and ahhs as she pranced out side with her two fellow inmates; with their pooches and tigers. Sometimes I think that maybe the kids are only going to Fuddys because of the balloons; hmm; I think I am on to something Anyway; back to ‘Today’. 
After lunch we hit Toys R Us for some bribing purchasing of cheapish toys. Nicholas and Lauren selected quickly; they got a Transformer (Optimus Prime) and Lola got a Playmobile Princess Set. Emily on the other hand was struggling. We were waiting for 30 minutes! FINALLY; she got a Doggy; which wasn’t even stuffed, Doggy has been named ‘Snowball’. We left Toys R Us at the screams of ‘lets go home’ – but we had one final surprise for the day! 
We went to Lake Murray! – we spent a short time here; because the weather was so lovely (this time last week we were playing in the snow) – it was averaging 65F ! -we took in the waves and played with our new toys from Toys R Us – we had a great time; in the wonderish weather. We saw lots of people there; and some lady even thought the dog Emily had was real; she kept staring; or maybe she was staring at me? 
All in all a great day; but how could it be topped you ask? Well – the new house next door to us; the new owners presumably moving in March 1st – have ordered a fence! That means both sides are now fences; thats cut our fence bill down $1500 – Good times indeed. And an extra bonus; the fence dude; are laying the fence – to the correct property line; so we’ve ‘gained’ quite a bit of space. A great day indeed! Made even better with the Palm Pre Plus – available from all good Verizon establishments.
