You say Hello, I say Goodbuy

Have you been to the store lately? I think this is the first year I've seen the Halloween and Christmas stuff side by side. Alexis loves it though. She is so into the lights, pumpkins and TOYS. This year her birthday and Christmas will be very different. She is already talking about her birthday cake, presents and requesting a pinata. She loves looking at the toys in the mailers too. She goes through page by page and says, "I need this for my birthday, and this, and this..." and then says stuff like, "It is only $7.99 mom". She is going to have to learn to earn some money soon if she really thinks she's going to get all those things. It is fun nonetheless.
She loves to shop and when it is time to go home she whines, "I don't want to go home!" Maybe I could get her a job at Target... she does know their theme song after all...
