Every couple of weeks she gets a coupon from them for $10 off of a $10 or more purchase. The coupon is actually addressed to her or &#8220;current resident&#8221; &#8211; which I am more than willing to take advantage off.<\/p>\n<p>Adam and I stopped in to our local Penney&#8217;s earlier with a very specific goal in mind.  Well, I had a goal.  He was instantly distracted by the display of stuffed animals &#8211; particularly by the Mickey Mouses (Mickey Mice?) that were almost as big as he is. He carried two of them around as I searched for the shirts and shorts for him I&#8217;d seen on the website.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-38-58_957.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1918\" title=\"2011-04-27_15-38-58_957\" src=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-38-58_957-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-38-58_957-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-38-58_957-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-38-58_957.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>They didn&#8217;t have what I was looking for or anything else I that I really thought he needed. So yes, one of those Mickeys ended up coming home with us. In my defense, it was originally $25, on sale for $16, and I had that $10 off coupon &#8211; so after tax it ended up being less than $7.50. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough of a reason &#8211; Adam is crazy about it. So crazy about it in fact that he threw a fit at Lowe&#8217;s when I made Mickey stay in the car.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-46-53_97.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1919\" title=\"2011-04-27_15-46-53_97\" src=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-46-53_97-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-46-53_97-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-46-53_97-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-27_15-46-53_97.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>He and Mickey have been inseparable all night.
