'THE' birthday present

As a kid, there is always one present that you just HAVE to have.  For Adam, it was the AT-AT walker toy from Star Wars.  The boys live, eat, and breathe Star Wars.  I told him it was too expensive since we were throwing a big party this year.  But then I checked and it had gone on sale on Amazon (plus free shipping of course!).  Then mom said she'd sent money for Adam's gift instead of trying to ship something.  Plus, Adam had a  non-stop campaign of how he was eventually going to afford to get one of these.  He was trying to figure out what jobs he could do to buy one.  

So between the good sale, my contribution, mom's contribution, plus the money I made Adam chip in out of his own money, he got an AT-AT walker.  It is the size of a medium size dog, but at least it doesn't eat or poop.  The boys love the thing and have their figurines in and out of it play acting out the movies with it.  It is suprisingly well made, really sturdy - so I think it was a good buy in the end.
