Light shopping with Peyton

Always being on the look-out for good lighting deals I hit the road on Saturday to see what I could find to put up around the place.  I had thought about going out on Friday night and taking Tressa with me but she wasn't feeling up to it and I was really more in the mood to stick around and work on painting some of the new decorations for the girls places and the super hero tree.  The rain Sat. morning convinced me I should look around a bit.
    This is where Peyton comes into the story.  He likes to go shopping and will stick with me pretty well and is a great traveling companion, plus he does like to ride in the pick-up, so off we went.  The first stop was K-Mart to check out their stuff in anticipation of their 50% off sale.  While there we looked at the Christmas decorations which Peyton just stared at for a while then a trip through the toys to see the Toy Story stuff.  Then it was my favorite part about taking Peyton, he knows where the good food/treats are at.  He selected an Icee so we got the biggest one they have to share it. 
     Next we headed to Fred Meyer as they had some lights on sale.  Peyton must be working on his left and right at school for he kept asking which direction we were going next.  Once we got inside of Fred Meyer I thought I would let him lead the way to burn off some of the Icee.  He kept calling out a left or right and then would turn that direction and head down another aisle.  It's hard to make much forward progress when you take a left or right at every aisle intersection.  Sadly I did not get any lights there for the sale wasn't a very good one.
     Being the super light shoppers that the two of us are we headed back to Chehalis and Home Depot. Peyton liked their display and counted the number of large Santas (blow up etc.) before we headed for the lumber section to smell the wood and pick up some to hang the welcome sign from.
     All in all the shopping was a bust except I got to spend a couple of hours hanging out with Peyton and was able to make it a complete day by getting to see all six of the grand kids.  Then it was back home to continue putting stuff up and painting.  The plan is to have it all done by Thanksgiving.  At least thats the plan.
