Shopping complete...

BEEP!, BEEPPP!!

Mrs. Dotson: "Madison, I'm so glad you hung out with us today."
Madison: "Me too. Never thought it would be so much fun. I'm sure once Alan gets over the initial shock, he'll be ok."
Cara:  "Well, I like what you selected and whoever enters and win will love it too. Don't let my brother give you any slack about either. He makes good money too."

Mrs. Dotson: "Madison, I don't think he will give you any slack. He knows we sponsor the Christmas giveway."

Madison: "Mom, he is just like Dad. Always taking about a budget ann..."

Cara: "Budget!? Yeah right, with three kids. HAAAA , HAAA"

Madison: "ha, ha, Yes, a budget."

Alan: "Oh my goodness."

Cara: "Hey Brother!"

Mrs. Dotson: "Hi Honey, how are you today?"

Paris: "goo, ooo, cooo."

Madison: "Here that Munchkee. It's Daddy."

Alan: "All I see is boxes everywhere. Hi Mom. Cara. How much shopping did you do?"

Madison: "Not that much."

Mrs. Dotson: "We found so real nice things."

Cara: "Depends on how you want to look at, heee, heee. Anyhoo, we got to get going. Bye."

Alan: "What does she mean by that? Did Mom get out of hand at Macy's?"
Madison: "No not at all. Where the kids?"
Alan: "Still sleep. Oh no did she go crazy in Neiman's? You know that her other weakness."

Mrs. Dotson: "Boy, that was rude. Tnis is what we do, we sponsor the community giveaway. I think you're over reacting. He knows there is no limit to what we might purchase. So when the bill arrives it no big deal."

Cara: "Ha, you mean bills. Madison had a good time. Beside you have dad to contend with and I KNOW I don't want to be there."

Mrs. Dotson: "I know how to handle him, I'm not worried."

Alan: "Cara must be worn out. She sure was in a hurry to leave."
Madison: "Must be. I'm a little tired too. Let's head in."

Alan: "Well, I'm glad you had a good time. My sister is the shopping queen and she always find good deals."

Madison: "I agree and we really did find some good deals. I will tell you all about it later."

Have a great week everyone!
