I went to my parents' this weekend to celebrate Mother's day ... I'd already corrupted my parents into becoming official DIS board members ....
My mom selected Applebee's for her dinner Saturday night and since we were all hungry, we went a bit early - around 5ish. Plenty of time for random activities afterwards. I wanted to check out Croc Flops in the store and my mom needed a new pedometer battery. Ah yes, we were inching our way out towards HD store by store. When my dad asked if anyone had anymore stops, I innocently asked if we could go to HD. (yes I had introduced them to the LGMH on a previous weekend, but they had never gone on a liberating mission themselves)
We went <almost> straight to the paint section. Dad got distracted by riding lawn mowers, mom spotted discount packages of work gloves ... was I the only one focused on our important goal? We made our way to paint where the lone associate looked like he'd rather be sniffing the paint than selling it and conveniently wandered off with his friend who was visiting him.
Freshly refilled, I grabbed the majority of the LHMHs, leaving a few. Dad wanted some orange (Bouncy Bouncy to be exact) and thought some red would be nice too (Mickeys Pants) and we grabbed a few other colors - and dad snapped up the last LGMHs I had left behind. Enter: unmotivated associate boy! He asked if we needed help and to distract him from the obvious stack of paint chips in my hand (which was quite immense at that point) dad started asking about the Disney self-stick wall murals. That was a bit too taxing for Mr. Paint Associate and quickly ran him off.
we made off with 27 LGMHs! The first team effort was quite successful and I'm very proud of my parents
When we got home and surveyed our treasure, my parents prompty decided that I need to work on getting ALL the colors ... looks like there will be another installment of team LGMH liberation!
those little things are so addictive!
