Shopping at Sam's Club

Last night Diana and I went to Sam's Club because we were out of a few of life's essentials. You know a carton of cotton candy and a package of huge muffins, essentials like that. Actually we were out of printer paper and this was the catalyst for our trip. As I was trying to print my tax return, I was completely flabbergasted to find that we did not have even one piece of printer paper left. How is that possible? Inconceivable! A case of paper seems to last forever and so it is hard to keep it on the radar as something that runs out occasionally. Anyhoo, off we went for a "few" things.
Right when we got there, Diana asked if she could get a churro. This for her has been a quest for past few months. It has been her own personal version of the search for the Holy Grail, because we have been there so many times when Sam's was out of churros. This has been a source of great disappointment on her part. Ah, the trials of eight year old life. So you can imagine Diana's excitement when there actaully were 4 churros left. It was so cute because she had her purse and paid with her own money. She was thrilled with this because I never want to waste money on a drink, but she was willing to waste hers and so I let her. Here is a very cute picture of her with her purse, churro, and very large drink. This was actually great because she was occupied with her purchases and did not ask for too many extra things while we were shopping. Well , except the cotton candy and muffins. Because chances are if you take a kid to Sam's Club, she is going to ask for a muffin.
