Am I Lame Or What?

I thought I'd tell you about my most recent source of random happiness...

Caleb and I went to the store late last night because our mornings have been pretty full this week and our afternoons are reserved for nap times.

Anyhow, we were at the store.

Caleb LOVES the buddy buck ball machine at HEB.  The last two times, he didn't capture any balls at all.  It's similar to the crane machines where you try to pick up a ball with a prize inside.  At HEB, the balls have stickers inside with numbers on them.  You collect the stickers and save up for a prize.  I thought the machine would let you try until you captured a ball.  Apparently, there is a machine at each entrance.  The one we usually go to (on the produce side) has a finger-like claw and you are only allowed a set amount of time to play.  That might be one try or three.  It's a bummer when Caleb doesn't get anything.  

Last night, we went out of our way to go to the pharmacy entrance to try out the other machine.  It has a scoop-like claw and allows you to play until you win something.  Much better!  As an added bonus, he caught two balls!

  2. Ok, he looks forward to asking the cashier for a buddy buck. Once he gets the buddy buck he uses it in the crane machine like a dollar bill. Again, refer back to the title. Am I lame or what?
