the bulb and the pot

and so it was decided that the hubster shall be rewarded for being father of the year. the plan was to buy apple vouchers coz what says "we love you and appreciate you" than more apple assessories?!

unfortunately (or not), i had to trash the voucher idea coz i had charge of the 3 monkeys and it would have been suicide to go to the apple store on a saturday afternoon with them. i needed a simplier plan. it was decided that i buy a big pot for his feng shui plant that guards our front door. angel-girl wanted to pick the design coz she's the expert on all things graphic, so says she.

knowing that i was going to need help, i called the godma who was lamenting about the need to buy a bulb. and that was our shopping list, a bulb and a pot.

innocently, we set off to a popular furniture store, spent all of 1 hour there and walked out with so much more, as usual. half way thru the haul, it became evident that lugging a pot was not possible with 3 kids in tow (plus our new expanded shopping list). i ended buying a desk pad which is light and so easy to carry ..... it's the thot that counts waaatttt!

the father loved it and the kids were happy coz they got to see dada smile. i was happy coz i didn't have to break my back and i got some shopping done. and godma got a bulb or two. in all, it was the best father's day ever!
