Impulse buys

There are moments as a parent that you give into temptation and you buy something that you know that you have no need for but you know that your kids will absolutely love it.  Today was one of those days.  John and I went on a date to Costco.  We met up with some friends while we were there and just chatted with them for a while.  Then we saw them.  People were buying 5 or 6 of them at a time.  We saw them and just knew that we had to buy one for Little H.  So we went searching for a the bear.  Once we found the aisle where the bears were being stored we were just shocked.  I believe that there were like 10 boxes full of big bears and while the price wasn't horrible it was that great to be buying 6 bears at a time.  So we decided to buy one and because we couldn't take it up with us right away it stayed in the car.  Then John brought the bear up...the boys absolutely loved the fact that we had a big teddy bear to lay on and play on.  Little H on the other hand was so scared that she ran for cover and hid.  Till her brothers made her realize that the bear was okay.  She is still a little nervous but is gradually getting used to him.
