Priceless Treasures…………..

$7

That is what we gave each of them.

$7

You would have thought each one of them had WON the LOTTO!!!!

They were sooooo excited.

We were on our way to the flea market and they were ready for a treasure hunt!!!

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

As we walked up…I found myself  wondering WHO was more excited,

ME or THEM?????

I remember when I was a kid my parents ALL LOVED to go antique shopping….I remember it feeling like a TREASURE HUNT.

So…

with $7 burning a HOLE in each and every one of their pockets,

we STARTED.

The girls were the first to find something…

We walked up to the FIRST BOOTH we saw and there were at least 25 Build-a-Bears for $5 a piece!!!!

(If you have ever been to BAB, you KNOW that at the store they are AT LEAST $15-if note MORE!)

SCORE!

Shasha picked a pink leopard BAB with eyes like Cleopatra…so cute.

and

Sheba(who wants to be JUST like her sister) got a pink Bear.

They walked away with BAB’s AND $2 still in their pocket.

Malachi was next….

he chose a wooden NINJA SWORD.

BIG SURPRISE!!!!!

AND Zeek very SMOOTHLY convinced him that he would REALLY like the “Mighty Ducks 2” movie.

Which he then PROMPTLY bought for $1.

Again..

We walked away with one happy NINJA WARRIOR and a VHS tape.(YES…we still buy VHS tapes. LOL)

Then there was Zeek.

Zeek is a TECH HEAD.

He LOVES anything that runs on batteries or plugs in.

or

has a screen.

He LOVES THEM…ALL of them.

So after walking the WHOLE flea market in search of Wii game booth……

(We tried to tell him that Wii games are to “new” to be at the flea market yet…he wasn't convinced.)

he FINALLY decided on 2 HOT WHEELS computer cames and a 1/4 lb. of gummi worms.

Walking away from the flea market with 4 HAPPY kids, I couldn’t help but think about how EACH one of them had showed a little piece of their personality.

But MOSTLY..

I couldn’t help but think that I had COME to the Flea Market with my TREASURES!!!

And they were PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!
