Shortly after Ella was born Aunt Sherry, Uncle Jeff, Katherine, and Elizabeth came to visit. They brought Lilly her very first wallet and inside the wallet was $2. Lilly was thrilled. She put the wallet in a very special place (her underwear drawer... shhhh!). She saved that $2 for 8 months. Just the other day she retrieved her wallet and announced, "Lets do somefing and buy somefing wif my money!!" She was carrying the wallet (and the Hello Kitty watch they gave her for her birthday I believe) and pacing the hallway while I was putting on my makeup. I asked her what she wanted to do or what she wanted to buy and she said, "A furpee."
Lilly's never had a slurpee. I once gave her some and she didn't like it. Then there was the fainting-in-Chick-Fila-due-to-a-brain-freeze time that I'd like to forget and am slightly scarred from. Since that wonderful evening (at Chick Fila) I am not a big fan of cold drinks or ice cream for Lilly. But Lilly saved $2 for 8 months at the age of 3 and I think that's pretty cool. So a 'furpee' it was (along with several long lectures about 'bwain fweezes').

Lilly loved her cherry slurpee and drank the entire thing. Note to self...Red food dye+sugar in a slurpee+nebulizer treatments = insanity.
