The Forty Dollar Nap

How much is peace and quiet worth?

Yesterday I bribed Kellen to take a nap with candy and a trip to the park. Today I upped the ante with a promise of going to the store for new dinosaur figurines (I tossed his dollar store dinosaurs because of the questionable paint).

(I can hear you thinking right now: "Is she SERIOUSLY blogging about this? And why do I read this blog anyway?")

Did he nap both days? Yup.

I bought 4 dinosaur figurines at $5 a pop, then went down to stock up on sippy cups which we needed BADLY. And those things ain't cheap. And I probably wouldn't have bought them (see previous post about me being frugal) if I hadn't been spending $20 on toys anyway.

Trip to Target...... $36
2 hours of quiet...... Priceless

P.S. I think there is a giant black hole of sippy cups and socks. Just my opinion.

The sippy cups and socks can be found in the Lost City.

I think sippy cups can be found at grandparents houses...that's where all of ours end up.

It's not bribery. It's quid pro quo.
