On Friday night we had an exchange to make so we went to Fred Meyer. (For my Midwest friends, it is like Meijer, but carries Kroger brands.) While we were at the customer service desk I noticed they had a drawing for kids. I put all 3 Lambs names in the bowl.
On Monday we received a phone call that Lamb 3 was a winner. I didn't even know for what we had entered our names. Each store gave away one $20 gift card and Lamb 3 won. I couldn't believe out of that whole bowl of names one of the Lambs won the one prize given away.
We went and picked up the gift card and I told the Lambs they had to share it because they had all put their name in. I offered to buy the gift card from them and they could all have the money or we could look around if there was anything to buy. After a long time in the toy section, they chose to buy Nerf guns. I was a nice Mama and paid the sales tax so they each got one. I thought they chose wisely that each Lamb got something and they almost exactly spent their gift card.

Sometimes they just have to learn the hard way. But it's hard for me to just let them learn because I think that certainly they'll learn to listen to me sometime soon!
