New Game or Bad Habit?

There a few readers of this blog who will greatly appreciate this post. Or you will at least laugh at us a lot. :)

So, Lucy loves to play store. It's her favorite game by far, and last year I bought her a pretty nice cash register that even scans stuff. She plays all kinds of stores: grocery, department, puppy, farm supply, etc. This summer we even had a few yard sales, which leads into the title of this post.

Lucy's store playing reflects my shopping habits and I'm beginning to worry/feel bad about myself for how much shopping I apparently do. Her newest store type is JoAnn's. We play shopping at JoAnn's almost every day. She gets out paper and her scissors and asks me which fabric I want to buy. Then I have to tell her how much I want and she cuts it for me. She just came to the desk to find a ruler so she could measure my half a yard order. At least we are learning a little about measuring right? Does that make up for the mass consumerism I am also teaching? I shop at yard sales a lot and I have been making lots, but yes we do shop- a lot I guess.

On that note we are off to JoAnn's today because they are having a big sale and I am buying holiday gift making supplies. :/
