Right on the money!

Yep, we (Will and I) were right on the money in picking M's birthday gift for this year. We decided to get him a ride on car toy. In an effort to save some money we also decided to find it on craigslist. I searched every week for a couple of weeks and finally found one that wasn't too far away and worth the money they were asking. Will picked it up on his way home from a convention and we hid it in the garage under a big blanket. E never even asked about the appearance of the big blanket. Well, today Will had the boys and they were driving through a Madison neighborhood when he spied the same car we purchased out on the curb. Neither of us are too proud to make someone's trash our treasure so he pulled over and put it in the car. E noticed and was super excited and as Will was asking him to keep it a secret E says to M "M, look we have a new car, turn around M it's back here." M, of course, turns around and he beams. He is so excited about it. So, after all our hard work we were foiled by a free ride on car on the side of the road. M is just so happy to have his own car. I had actually been wondering if we could just give it to him early since the weather was so nice. Looks like I got my answer...it's all in the signs...sometimes you just have to let the world decide for you.
