I don't know that it is too much of a secret that my kids
(Joe included in that catagory) love Nascar particularly Dale Earnhardt Jr. or "Jun-jun" as we lovingly refer to him in our house. Well about a week ago Chase and I were wandering through Target looking at the Halloween costumes and we found the most amazing thing ever--an honest to goodness "Jun-jun" costume complete with hat and everything--the little boy couldn't be more excited if it was Dale himself!
So we decided that if he could get, count em',
5 green smilies, then we would go right to the store and get him that jun-jun costume. Well all week long everyday we would talk about how many more green smilies he needed in order to go get his prize--"you have two green smilies, you only need three more and then you get jun-jun" the excitement was over flowing all week long as
he would literally pray for green smilies every
night before bed and we would pray all through his school day that he would succeed!
AND HE DID!!! I was so excited for him and he just couldn't wait one minute to get to the store after school today he kept telling "drive the car faster mom! let's go faster!" We finally made it to the store and after a slight scare of them being sold out we found it tucked away behind a transformer costume--and the rest is history--
Now Jimmy has had fun this week too--he has spent his week falling asleep in random places--sooo cute :)
AND OH MY GOODNESS as I was snapping pictures I was almost shocked at this one--can you
believe the size difference--I almost couldn't either--and yes the tall one is only
3 and the short one is 5!
