Variety is the spice of life


Grandpa gave Lucy $10 for her birthday to go on a shopping spree at her favorite store- the Variety Store. What we ended up with was a hodgepodge of items- 15 in total. They included penny candy, a rubber bat (the Halloween kind, not the baseball kind), a Halloween pencil, a wind up lion toy, a lion finger puppet, two cookie cutters, a bag of sequins, a little ninja figure, a glittered spider ring and so on. She had so much fun trying on Halloween masks, choosing her items, paying for them and showing them off when we got home. She took her own shopping bag with her "to save the planet" and carried her own money in her own pocket. That $10 was on fire in her pocket and she kept taking it out to make sure it was still there and to remind me that she had it. Then when it was time to pay she whipped that money out before even the first item had been rung up. All in all, a successful shopping spree that indeed provided a variety of fun!
