Webkinz Day

I am LOVING this homeschooling thing. Brittany does most of her work at home with me and then goes to Willow Bend Academy to take her tests and sit in on devotions. I will gradually let her spend more and more time there until we work up to a 4-hour school day. But for now I am getting to enjoy having her at home most of the time. Today was “Webkinz Day” and several stores participated in a special deal. Spend $10 and get a Webkinz stuffed animal for free! So Brittany and I got out early so we could beat the after-school rush. We found that by using a coupon we got at Hallmark we could get really super deals. She got 4 Webkins for $20! I bought several to put in our “marble jar store” and for gifts for a couple of upcoming birthdays. While at the store she was talking a mile a minute to anyone who would listen (and a few others that weren’t). At Libby Lu she informed a preschooler of the danger of trying on wigs (head lice) and gave her complete testimony to the store clerk. She also held a yorkie for a lady so she had her hands free to check out. She informed the owner that “Squeaky” was overweight and the owner agreed. (Brittany has read about lots of different breeds.) Another lady said that Brittany gave her new hope for her grandson, who has Autism.
