The dollar tree

Oh the dollar store, how we love the dollar store. This summer there is a dollar tree so close to our apartment that we can walk there. Of course we have never walked there becasue it is way too stinkin hot in Arkansas but I sure am happy it is so close. Today we went and loaded up on cheap junk. Such cheap junk that I can throw it all away when we pack back up and move at the end of summer. Hunter picked out two water guns that he likes to play with as swords. And Haylee fell in love a butterfly net. And since we are living in alligator land we decided to buy our own pet alligator. Haylee named her Anna. This afternoon I had a great idea of drawing a bunch of butterflys and hiding them all over the house so Haylee could go on a butterfly hunt with her new net. It lasted about 2 seconds and she was bored. I hate when my great ideas don't last as long as I want them to. I had envisioned at least a good 20 mins of her being entertained. Good think her net was only a dollar.

The butterfly thing was such a cute idea! I'm surprised it didn't last longer!

I love anna the alligator, so cute! I need to put the dollar store on my summer idea list. That will be a fun activity one day, especially when it is too hot to day anything else. I can't imagine that day coming. I can't comment on the wiz blog for some reason, but I loved your last post. You do such fun things, I love to hear every detail!
