Painting - August 30, 2014

Saturday - August 30, 2014
We finally headed to Logan today so Alissa could spend her $30.00 gift card at Michael's.  The trip did not go as planned.  We all were a little bit fussy and that really didn't help things.  Roger and Parker went to Best Buy to look around while the girls and I did our craft shopping at Michael's.  We had a lot of fun looking around.  Alissa found a lot of fun things that she wanted.  Things went bad when it was time to pay.  The lines were long and (like always) we ended up choosing the slowest line.  I think this girl must have just started working there because she really had no idea what she was doing.  By the time we finally got up to the cash register, I had realized that we forgot to bring our coupon.  That was going to save us a lot of money so Alissa could buy more.  Alissa decided to just pay anyway.  When they rang up her stuff, the paints came to a lot more than they had been marked.  We were super frustrated and it had already taken the girl so long to ring it up, so we put some of the paint back.  Alissa was super sad and frustrated.  As we headed home, we were talking about it and we decided to go back to the store and return everything except for one thing she really wanted and we knew wouldn't be a different price with the coupon.  The plan was to return it and come back next week when we aren't all fussy and we have our coupon so Alissa can get a better deal, get more, and feel better about her shopping trip.  
Brinley and Parker got a fun little painting project and some play dough.  They had a lot of fun painting.

 This is Alissa's one thing she bought.  She really loves these big paint by number pictures.
