As noted, I was beginning to feel a sense of impending panic when I visited four local Target store and one Wal-Mart without finding the Lego Agents Mobile Command Center. Even Tom, who doesn't get obsessed about finding toys, offered to look for it. I immediately asked my friends if they happened to see one in their errands to let me know.
My friend Julie sent me a text this afternoon, saying she had found the Lego set and offered to buy it for me. I said YES and paid her back this evening. So, my Ian present is really done. Of course, I have gotten him a few books and little stocking stuffers, but this is going to be THE present. Thank you, Julie! And a special thanks to Lynn, who also took some time to visit some Targets for me as well-this was a full out operation!

so glad THE present was found!
I hope you enjoy your incredibly busy weekend!!
Sounds like a hectic season but happy hectic. Mr. Menza sounds like such a kind person. Connor is a cookie person after my own heart.
And... the photos from Sarah are both beautiful. I noticed them right away.
Glad your minions found THE gift. Whew.
Hope the concerts go well. Guess that covers it.
Back, oh a little over 20 years ago now, when the Cabbage Patch dolls were all the rage, I swore up and down I wasn't going to be one of those parents, suckered in, fighting over a doll for my child, nor was I going to pay the outrageous prices for them either. No sirree Bob! Well, one day as I passed a store window and saw a Cabbage Patch doll there, with red hair and her name was Melissa or Missy (not sure now exactly) I became what I said I wasn't going to be, at least partly. I marched in and bought that doll, knowing Mandy would dearly love it because of the name and the red hair and her very best friend in all the world, then and still is, has red hair and her name is Missie! That year, Mandy got two Cabbage Patch dolls -the one from Santa (me) and older daughter's then boyfriend, "Prince Valiant" also got Mandy a Cabbage Patch doll! Overload, ya know! I haven't done any shopping along those lines since nor do I anticipate getting that hyped over something, even if Miss Maya or Prince Kurtis both insist it is what they absolutely can not live without. THat's the plan for today anyway. We'll see how things go over the next few years though, won't we? But, just to have the shopping for one child done -regardless of the difficulty or not -is always a big relief!
