We didn't even know what we were going to give her for her birthday, so we just went shopping and bought her gift/s as we went. We were actually looking for a little folding table/chair set. Walmart carries them, but they are all Thomas Tank Engine or Disney stuff, and I hate that toys and tents and all kids stuff has to be like that, so I refuse to buy it. We thought Target might have some more interesting ones, but they did even carry them. We did find some things in their $1 section tho. Animal plates, dry erase board and markers, that she liked, so that was part of her birthday present. Old Navy was next, cause I thought they might have some boots, but they were out. (She is a girl after my heart, boots, boots, boots.) We did let her pick out some clothes tho.
She actually got what is laying on the floor beside her. A bubble skirt dress, and a frilly skirt.
Next was Pet Smart. She loves seeing all the animals, and fish. We ate at Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and she had a blast in the playground until some little bully chased her, scared her and made her cry. (To all you mothers, what do you do when a child is bullying your children?) By the time I realized that his parents were not in the playground area, he had stopped and she was crying. I didn't think there was any point in doing anything other than glare at him. He had informed me way earlier that he was 6, so he was certainly old enough to know better. Plus he had been terrorizing some of the other kids until they had to go, then turned on her. She was talking about that for the rest of the day.
The real highlight came when we went to Walmart to do our weekly shopping and there were some puppies for sale! Since Romeo disappeared several months ago, we have been seriously missing him and just having a dog around. So, we got one. She was born on Christmas day, and is adorable (and a pain at night). She is an American Pit Bull (full blood, but no papers). We had named her Honey, but then I decided that she needs a different name cause I call Adeline that ALL the time.

There was also chocolate cake, presents, and family.
I only chose the 3. Adeline picked out the other shapes, and candles.

So sweet! It is pretty easy to take that table and chair set and make it whatever you want. You can paint the metal stuff and recover the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteI actually found a pin like that on Pinterest. I thought about just going ahead and getting a set and doing that, but wasn't sure how it would work with the chairs. I'll have to just try it anyway.
