Boylee Spends Some Dough

Boylee doesn't get an allowance, and yet somehow he always has some money. The two biggest reasons are Mompoppa, who can't seem to send him a note without including a few dollars, and Dad, who leaves his change around the house in the most absentminded way. After the hundredth time of scooping a few pennies off of the bathroom counter or a pile of nickels off the bookshelf, I told Boylee that he could have any change he found loose around the house. So that keeps him eager to scoop up any coin he sees.

When we pried open his piggy bank the other day, Boylee had around $11 and he knew exactly what he wanted to spend it on: BOOKS. (How can you not love that?!?) I tried to convince him that he could get 11 books at the One Dollar Bookstore, a place we haven't yet visited, but we've heard good things about. But he couldn't bear it. He wanted two specific books, so we headed out to Barnes & Noble and he got them:




They may be ugly, but they're also kinda cute.

And they look a little like a baby stingray! Bet you and the Boy could sew an Ugly Doll if you had a mind to.
