Happy Baby

Penelope was in high-spirits and laughing this morning when Linda went over for her normal Thursday Penny time.  Sarah caught up on her chores and did a quick run outside.  It's amazing how Pen likes to watch Sesame Street like her Aunt Tier.  Maybe Linda imagined it, but Penny seems to like Elmo best!  Maybe it's the high-pitched voice and bright red color.   Tier was always a Big Bird fan.  In fact, when she was just 11 months old, she grabbed a Big Bird stuffed toy off the shelf and tried to race out of the store with it!  Big Bird still sits on her bed today, 25 years later. (Tierney didn't steal it, Linda ended up buying it for her.)  I wonder if Penelope will still have her cow when she grows up? 

After Linda left Sarah's, she had to stop at the store for a few things.  All our frozen fruit was gone and so was the spinach for her smoothies. Chim and I needed our chicken too, she just can't run out of that!  There has been a comforter set at Target she has had her eye on for months.  Since Chim has kind of destroyed the fancy one we have, Linda wanted to get a machine washable spread without seams or decorations.  It was $99.99, so she never felt right about getting it.  Today, the exact color she wanted was on clearance for $69.99, plus she had a $10 gift card.  When she got to the register, it rang up as $29.99!!  With her gift card, it ended up being $19.99.  Yay!  As soon as she gets it all set up, we'll post a picture.
