This is what you should be looking for.
It was our turn to work in the Snack Shack for the baseball league, and both boys were really excited to help. Nate took the first shift, and he happily stocked and replenished the chips, filled the gummy worm jar, counted out licorice, and practiced his money skills by making change for his customer's orders.
But Nate's strongest skill in the Snack Shack was his customer service. It was so fun to watch him interact with the customers. He made one little boy really happy when after his purchase of two Tootsie Pop's he told him that if the wrapper has a whole picture of an Indian shooting at a star, he would receive an additional free lollipop! (What?? Where does it say that in the Snack Shack instructions??)
He sold this lore to the little boy, who quickly unwrapped his pop. Sure enough, he was a winner.
I don't know where Nate learned this, but he wanted to share the tradition.
I really don't have the heart to break it to him, but after some extensive research online, I discovered that he had fallen prey to an
urban legend.
But that's how urban legends stick around~I bet
that little boy will say the same thing to
his next customer when
he man's the shack with
his mom.
The cousins were in town, so we met them at Big Al's to celebrate Grace's 12th birthday, with some bowling and arcade madness. There's nothing like cousin time!
Nate had all the luck! He won not one, but two jackpots of 500 tickets on one game! Just like Vegas, baby!
Some very tasty birthday to cake to celebrate the sweetest 12 year old girl that I know.
About 24 hours ago Christopher pulled his tooth out, and Nate was feeling a little bit bummed that it wasn't his tooth. He was determined to have it out before bedtime on Sunday night~ and he did.
When he started having some worries, a $10.00 incentive helped to motivate. It worked.

This call wasn't like the usual talking to Grandaddy, Nana, or Aunt Leann in Florida. It wasn't like talking to G'ma in Salem, or the cousins in Seattle.
