Shopping: Parts II,III and IV

Remember me talking about Sam's recent shopping extravaganza? In his first round, money didn't really come into the equation but then his piggy bank had a little accident.
Money! Every coin is a nickel no matter what which makes general descriptions easy but others more difficult. "Sam, pick up the big nickel to the right of your big toe. No, not the medium-sized nickel on the table and not the small bronze one next to it."
For some reason, nickels needed to be packed into eggs.
And the eggs into bags. For several days Sam was always handing me gifts of bags of eggs filled with coins. When I forgot to carry them with me around the house, he would regift them. Luckily, he provided me with a handy dandy basket for easy transport.
But of course, that's not the end of the shopping adventures. Today he began filling plastic shopping bags with any item not nailed down and telling me that I bought all those things. There are bags filled with miscellaneous stuff everywhere! My favorites bags are these: smooshy contorted babydoll and babydoll's blanket.
Well, at least everything is conveniently packaged for the trash....

This is a riot. And much better to fill plastic eggs ith "nickels" than to fill them with candy!
