Cheap Thrills

Armed with a roll of pennies, I took Emily to a local outdoor shopping mall to make 50 wishes in the fountain. Among her many wishes, these were my favorites:

“I wish Daddy had a new car.”
“I wish… I wish……. I had a fountain…. in my ROOM!!”
“I wish I could be five years old forever!”
“I wish I could go to China.” (She seems to have an endless obsession with China.)

And my personal favorite… “I wish for a new toy for Mommy!”

After making all those wishes, we went to Fresh Market where she got a free sugar cookie… Yum! Then headed over to Old Navy to try on sunglasses, and take glamour shots.

Yes, those are cookie crumbs on her face. Total cost of our fun afternoon = $0.50!!
