We Won!

Dallas was very excited today as he won his first ebay purchase. A few months ago McDonald's was putting hot wheels in the Happy Meals for boys. Dallas saw a black one that he got fixated on but we never did get it. He talked about it for a while but then he stopped so that was that. Last week one of the other boys in his class brought the black hot wheels to school for show and share and he could not stop talking about it. He wanted to trade his Lightening McQueen for the black hot wheels but I decided we would look on ebay first. He sat in my lap at the computer and we scrolled through hot wheels cars from McDonald's until he finally exclaimed, "there it is!" No one had bid and there were still 4 days but we went ahead and put in our bid early. I know that goes against the rules I was taught from the ebay master (that would be Bebe) but I wasn't sure if I was going to be around when the auction ended to bid at the last minute. Anyway, we have checked the computer daily and today we found out we got it. We were the only bidders so that made it easy and not so expensive for me! I was going to get it for him one way or another so I could have been paying a premium for hot wheels. He ended up with all 6 that were in that specific McDonald's collection and they are still in the plastic bags they come in. He started doing a happy dance in the hall and told everybody at the gym that, "we won!" When we got back from the gym he wanted to check the mail to see if they were here yet. Of course it will be several more days before they arrive but he is so excited I know we will be checking the box several times a day! Hopefully I have not created a monster--ebaying at 3--maybe not the best idea on my part!
