Black Friday test drive

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving. I took my daughter to ToyRUs yesterday to preview some of the things that will be on their Black Friday Sale. I did see that ToysRUs will be giving vouchers to the first 100 people in line at the Black Friday ToysRUs sale. The world is about to be invaded by robotic hamsters that our little girls must have for Christmas but we'll have to stand in line for them to pay only $9.99 instead of $40 on ebay to someone who somehow got their hands on a few? It's always something....
Oh, I forgot, I was going to tell you about our trip to ToysRUs. I turned her loose and watched her play with the v-motion, the nitro notebooks. She showed me all of the Leapster 2 games she feels she must have. She didn't say much about the Didj and passed by the ds (Thank you Lord!). I was really hoping to get another year out of the Leapster 2. In fact, after we got home she told me it would be alright if I just bought games for her Leapster 2. Thanks to the folks at Leapster for making the games so good she doesn't want to part with it. See, I know that some of you would shy away from taking your kid into a store and saying "Ok... tell me what you want," but sometimes it works out so well.
I followed her with pen and paper and she examined the paper now and then to make sure I had written everything she said. Now, it's the day before Black Friday and I have scratched off several things that I would have bought just because they're going to be on sale -- but she doesn't really want them. She doesn't want the hotwheels track my husband thought she had to have. (Duh!). She doesn't want anything Barbie or Baby. It's electronic and high action all the way.
She warned me sternly to not buy a bunch of clothes and shoes like I did last year.... But at Meijer today they are Buy one pair, get the second for a dollar! I think I'll just go and have a look. I don't have to be to dinner until 3 pm.
