The Sewing Mom

I can’t keep up with all the new [tag]Webkinz[/tag] plush toys that come out, but the newest one is a must have for my daughter, it’s a turtle. 

 My daughter is a turtle fanatic, she has loved turtles for as long as I can remember.  Her biggest thrill in South Dakota wasn’t Mt. Rushmore, it was seeing live Galapagos tortoises at the Reptile Gardens!  Her request to Santa this year was to giver her $100 towards her goal of $250 so she can adopt a sea turtle family through the [tag]World Wildlife Fund[/tag].  How incredible is that!? 

Anyway, yesterday, we stopped by a little shop where she likes to buy her Webkinz, but they didn’t have any turtles on the shelf.  The shop was pretty busy and the shop owner was apparently in the back room looking for something, so we didn’t even wait to ask about the turtles, we just headed on home.

Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, my daughter happened to check her cell phone and found there was a voicemail message from the same shop we’d been to earlier in the day letting her know they got the turtles in!  I have a feeling they had set the turtles aside and not put them on the shelf.  Now, I’m hoping that when they open this morning, they will still have a turtle and I can run over and get it.

I hate this last minute stuff, it’s too stressful.  The look on my daughter’s face though will be priceless if I can get the turtle to put under the tree for Christmas morning.  Oh, don’t worry, she’s going to have the money to adopt the turtle family as well, afterall, that’s on the top of her list!
