Because of Bruce's surgery (and fearing that he might be in a great deal of pain), I did not want to do a typical party here at the house. So, we decided to do a different type of celebration to honor Abigail's tenth birthday. I chose TEN special 'tasks' for her to complete/experience during the day, many of those with friends. Each task had the theme of "ten" in it as you will soon see. In order to keep a LOT of factors in check (time, budget, dietary preferences, ability to transport everyone safely..), I only allowed Abigail to choose her two best friends to come along.
We met the girls at 9:30 a.m. and they put on their blind folds. We then took a short drive to Dollar Tree, but parked slightly away so they would not know where we were until after Abigail read the description aloud. This is what she read. "With just $2 each and TEN minutes to spare, what will each of you girls end up buying? Let's go into Dollar Tree and see!!" They were thrilled with their shopping spree. Each ended up with a stuffed animal and a pack of mechanical pencils.
