Today's post is about a convo at the teacher store and a way to win prizes in my contest!
Yesterday was a girls' day for my bestie and me. We spent the morning at the teacher store, The Learning Circle, had lunch at Longhorn Steak, spent the afternoon shopping at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Ross, and Charming Charlie's, and then Gigi's Cupcakes to top off the day. FUN...FUN...FUN
So, let's go back to yesterday morning when we arrived at The Learning Circle. Here's kinda how it went.store clerk: "Good morning. Can I help you find anything or do you just want to browse?"Me: "Good morning. Actually, I am looking for anything to do with cowboys/western for my class theme."store clerk: "Oh that's a cute theme. I have a bulletin board set on sale. Follow me."Me: "On sale sounds good!" I happily follow her to the sale table. "Oh, that's cute."2nd store clerk: "Oh, there is another bulletin board over there." pointing to the wall full of bulletin board sets.1st store clerk: "Here, I'll show you."Me: I obediently follow. This one iss NOT on sale, but I squeal with delight. "I love this one better!"1st store clerk: "Oh, and there is border back here to match. Follow me."2nd store clerk: "Be sure to show her the cute bandana letters and hat cut outs.""Oh, and there's a wanted poster in the poster section."1st store clerk: "These bandana and jeans library pockets are too cute."Me: "Wow! You sure do have cowboy/western stuff for my theme!", I chuckled. The store clerk takes my items to the counter so I won't have to carry them around {and of course this is a ploy so my hands are free to load up again...and it works!...bwahahahaha} Boy, did they see me coming! bwahahahaha
As I browse {finally by myself} I find some other cute things that I know I could use. I round the corner and come face to face with the cutest little cowgirl puppet! I just have to have her! I think a horse would be cute too...I don't find one, but I do find the adorable cowboy to go with her! That's even better!!!
They really are my "find" for the morning!!! I head back to the front counter to see what the damage is. For all that I'm buying, I am pleasantly surprised at the total. I think I did well!
Now, can you help me out a little???1. Will you help me in naming my cowboy and cowgirl?2. Share with me how I could use them in my classroom.
If I choose your cowboy/cowgirl name...you will win this...
