Pop bottle Barbie

Kaida's latest obsession is Barbie (thanks Raegan!) and most recently  Barbie and the Fairy Secret.  So today when we were in the Bargain Shop getting Owen's birthday card and Kaida found Barbie and the Fairy Secret doll she HAD to have it.  She begged shortly but it was a solid No to the $26.99 doll and she started to cry real, sad tears.  She was heartbroken and the nice lady at the till was almost going to buy her the doll herself.  It was a sad day for Kaida.

On the drive home Kenzie remembered that she was 'owed' some pop bottle money for helping me shovel the Credit Union one day.  She told Kaida she could have the pop bottle money for the Barbie.  So there went any plans I had for the next hour.

We came home and the 3 of us set to work in the garage getting all the bottles gathered up.  We collected 8 bags of recycling and headed to Sarcan.  The girls carried the bottles in and collected $28.64 for their labour.  Kaida told everyone at Sarcan where the money was going with cutest little excited jumps and squeals. 

We headed to The Bargain Shop one hour later all smiles and giggles.  The lady at the till was also happy to see us.  Kaida got her Barbie and for being a sweet little girl, I bought Kenzie a baby chick with a necklace in it that she picked.  It was a good day for everyone.  My garage is clean, 2 little girls are happy and I have some dirty coats to wash and we will be back on track for the rest of the day!!
