Four Very Happy Boys

My brother's wife's parents ("Mr. and Mrs. H") were kind enough to send some really cute outfits for Anna. They were also kind enough to give Walmart gift cards to each of the boys! You can hardly imagine the excitement when the boys found that out! As I have said before, we allow them to buy Lego Bionicles, but they have to use their own money. When they received this unexpected windfall, they were ready that moment to make a trip to Walmart, but it had to wait until this afternoon. Caleb especially was thrilled, since he doesn't really get an allowance, so he didn't really have a way of buying one yet. Nathan, Luke, and Caleb didn't let the week go to waste, however--they made the important pre-buying decisions of who was going to get what. So once we actually got to Walmart, they just basically snatched the correct ones off the shelf, and there we were! All done! Jonathan decided on a Lego Knight named Sir Rascus. He apparently has "power-armor", but Jonathan was most impressed by his big sword. When we got home, everyone assembled their person (or whatever you call a Bionicle), and then I was treated to the happy sound of boys playing for a long time. A priceless gift for me!
