He drives like his daddy

Haha - ok, he really doesn't. AJ is a great driver! But we do have a new driver in the house. This gift was a "blessing" from my mom. Since we are the 'no gifts on Christmas-type', my mom feels the need to give "blessings" randomly throughout the year. This one in particular Ari had tried out for fun at ToysRUs around his birthday. It was the only time we thought we should go and see if we could find something worth buying. We left empty-handed. After seeing a toy on the shelf selling for $36.99 that my grandparents found for $.99 just reassured me again how much I despise buying brand new things. (Especially for children who outgrow things fairly quickly.) So...we passed on the awesome battery-powered ATV for 12-36 mos.

Being the awesome mom/grandma that she is...my mom went and fought the crowd at the awful toy store on black Friday. (Mind you, she really dislikes shopping but manages to go out every year on the worst/best shopping day of the year!) The toy was 60% off and only had one in stock. She managed to get in and out of the store in 30 minutes because all the other toy-buyers were standing in line for something much more useless, I mean...probably electronics and video games that their kids can become addicted to and never play outside and enjoy the natural things in life that God has provided us with. I know - enough of my opinion. On to the video...

Oh yeah, and as much as we appreciate this blessing, it will be going back to grandma's. As you can see, we don't have much room for something like this.

This had me laughing out loud again! :) I think what made it the funniest was that Ari kept a relatively straight face. He obviously enjoyed it because he kept going, but it was more like he was driving to work or something. Hilarious!:)

Oh yeah. We totally have one of these. The kids love 'em. They are a pain to store!
