In the world of 10-year-olds who go to St Ignatius, certain nee-doh stress-relieiving toys are the hot item to have and hard to find. Today, I picked Carson and Tommy after school and we went to two stores who had supposedly received a shipment that morning. No luck.

I asked them if there was something else they might want to buy. Tommy was reluctant, Carson assured him it was ok and added, “Basically, there is no budget if you’re with Grandma.” LOL!! Later that evening, we went to Avery’s volleyball game.
