Easy come easy go…

I have been researching “quality” picture books to read to Chloe, especially now that she is sort of over the run of the mill eye candy books and seems to be moving on into books that have catchy phrasing or interesting characters. So, I asked John to use our Discover Card cash back bonus on Borders Gift Cards so I can purchase some of these books. I spent two hours doing research and adding books to our Amazon Shopping list. Lo and behold, I added over $200 worth of books. And this is with the most expensive book costing $12. Unfortunately I only had $50 in gift cards. So, one puppy movie (thanks to grandma and grandpa Erickson who introduced Chloe to the Dalmatians and which she asks for CONSTANTLY) and six books later…its all gone, with us paying about $10 in shipping. Sigh…if only I had unlimited resources, my daughter would be a freakin’ GENIUS!
