MJ's Daily Dish: Valentine Fun!!

My family had Valentines one day early!! This morning, we went to church and then to (my pick) Olive Garden!! Mom and Dad had some very surprising news to share, are what's better then eating breadsticks and hearing surprises? They said, "Our family is going to think about others today. Macey and Dad are on a team and Cole and Mom are on another. Macey and Cole are going to buy for each other and Mom and Dad are going to buy for each other. Everybody has a certain amount to spend on the person. One rule though, one of the gifts has to be eatable. Sound good?" Cole and I were so excited!!!! We trampled on over to the mall! Our meeting place was Dicks and everyone had to meet there at 1:30. So, Dad and I were off. First, it was mom we looked for. We knew she wanted the Easy Foot, which is something you place in the shower and you put your foot on it and it cleans it for you. So, we went to Macy's, Belk, and Dillard with no luck whatsoever. We then cleared our mind and decided that a charm for her Pandora bracelet would be better. Once again, we went to every jewelry place there was! No one sold Pandora! Then, we decided to look for Cole. Game Stop was our first instinct and for the first time, WE HAD LUCK!! We got Cole a pre-owned wii game (Indiana Jones Lego to be exact). By then, it was 1:30. So, we headed back to Dicks and found Cole and Mom waiting. We only had 1 gift!! We asked if we could have an extended amount of time because Mom and Cole were already done. Then, we headed out of the mall and to Jared's, which is right across from the mall. Unfortunately, Mom saw us leave and yelled, "Ron! Where are you going"? The look on her face was PRICELESS! We laughed about that the whole entire way to Jared's! Guess what! We had luck here, too! The perfect charm was waiting for her! Then we headed back over to the mall and now, we were on a mission...TO FINISH AND GET HOME!! I felt that the Borders cafe was calling our names, so that's where we went. LUCK! We got mom peppermint chocolate bread. By now, Dad and I were absolutely exhausted!!! Our last stop was the Chocolate Factory, and there we got Cole: a ginormous M&M cookie, 3 marshmallows covered in chocolate, and a chocolate bar that had M&M's in it. Right on time, we arrived at Dicks, and found that Cole and Mom were all smiles enjoying some beverages Mom had bought, while Dad and I were exhausted and needing some sort of liquid in our bodies. We all went back in the car, and on the way to the house, we exchanged our food. Mom had gotten Dad a candy apple with nuts and stuff on it, and Cole had gotten me a HUGE peanut butter cup with a heart that said love in the middle. It was all so delicious! Back at home, we exchanged our objects. Mom had gotten dad under shirts and socks, and Cole had gotten me a book that continued the series I am currently reading along with a pink Sandra Bullock watch! Here are the turnouts:
