After spending this past week in bed with pneumonia, I figured that Curran and I needed to get out of the house; even if only to stock up on cold meds and do some window shopping.
Curran found his most favorite store in the "biggest whole planet", The John Deere Store. We walked around every display multiple times; we decided on which "farm" hat would be best for Grandpa; we checked out all of the clothes that he needed to buy to wear to school; and we spent 20 minutes staring at the wall of tractors to see which tractors we already had. I am certain that we were the highlight of the sales lady's day; we were in there for well over a half hour and I bought NOTHING!
I needed to go to his second favorite store in the "biggest whole planet", Peavy Mart. I went in to find a part and we were in there for 45 minutes. Guess what they have at Peavy Mart? Toys! Three isles of tractors, farm machinery,and farm animals. Curran's eyes glazed over and he got this quirky grin on his face. I am pretty sure he suffered a minor bout of tractor overload, it was when he was in this happy state that we left the store.
Christmas shopping this year should be pretty easy, he has started on his list already. It will be really easy for Grandpa to remember what is on it; one of everything farm related.
