coupon redemption

Parker called Saturday and asked if he could redeem a couple of his birthday coupons. I said sure, and since James had spent the night with him, so they both came over. James said he still had a couple of coupons left over from his birthday a couple of years ago, one of which was for a "group hug", so he calls Uncle to come out and join in, and we all share a big group hug! It was funny, and just one of the many reasons I love James. He is such a lovable, funny kid. Then we all took off for town, first stop was for Panda bowls, which both boys scarfed down. Then Uncle and I had to stop at Lowes, where the boys managed to temporarily tick off Uncle/Papa, who sometimes has a tough time understanding their goofy, uncontrollable laughter without thinking it is directed at him... He lightened up before long, though, and then held us all hostage while he made a long stop at Home Depot. Finally, we made it to the mall so the boys could use their other coupon there. After some wandering around, looking at GameStop and PacSun, they managed to find a couple of air-soft guns at Big 5. Didn't get to use them when we got home, however, since the big one needed the battery charged, and James had to leave before that.
