Armour

Since Carter was about knee-high to a grasshopper, he has been a swordsman.  He started off using the tail of a dinosaur and eventually progressed up to a light saber from Star Wars.  He has always admired knights as well and all the amazing armour they wear.  Well, one day Toy Town got a shipment of Knight Armour in the store.  Carter imediately started saving his money.  He found odd jobs around the house to start earning some extra money.  One job he saw that he could make a lot of money was weeding, because of the never-ending supply of weeds.  Well, with Memaw's discount, he eventually saved up enough money to make the big purchase.  He was so excited and Mason was so jealous because he wanted one as well, but he hadn't earned enough money. 

The day finally arrived when we made the long trek to the store with a wad of cash.  The package was ripped right open and the smell of fresh plastic filled the air.  When he got home, he put the breastplate and helmet on.  After a few hours a a couple days later, Carter realized that it was just a little bit too small.  He was disappointed, especially after spending his hard earned money.  It didn't take long for him to work out a deal with Mason, who had enough money to buy a couple of the pieces of armour from Carter.  They wheeled-a-deal right there and everyone was satisfied. 

What a great experience Carter had in working hard for something that he really wanted.  There are many valuable lessons we can learn through hard work and saving.  Carter, you look amazing in your new armour!

Maybe someday, you will have a real set of armour so you can be a

Knight in Shining Armour!  

What a handsome knight!
