Last Monday (March 31st) Doc M and I headed to McDonald's so he may have dinner. There was a party in the office so I was full and just opted to accompany him. Upon entering the store, it was then that I found out that they have a new set of toys for their Happy Meal - the Super Mario figures! Oh yes, I had to defy Doc M's craving for a cheeseburger meal and insisted to order 3 burger Mcdo Happy Meal. In as much as I wanted to get them all right away, it was simply impractical to do so because I wasn't really hungry then. We just had to bring home the extra 2 burgers as my system was unable to take in more food.

Day 1 (March 31)

I got *Mario with Pipe, *Mario with Goal Pole and *Yoshi (the Dinosaur). Arriving home, I showed it to Baby G who was then got excited and asked if she could open them already. I said no, and told her that we have to complete all 8 figures first before we open them. The little lady understood and did not insist on opening them, but kept on asking why we couldn't open them. She was contented to get the same answer everytime.

Day 2 (April 1)

Expectedly, I had my breakfast at McDonald's again and got the 4-pc. mini pancakes Happy Meal. I didn't like the other breakfast offers. Then in the evening, Doc M and I had dinner at McDo again but was only able to get 3 toys because Peach, the Princess was already out of stock.

I got *Mario with ? Block for breakfast. It actually ran out of stock that I requested for the one on display instead. In the evening, *Boomerang Mario, *Fire Mario and *Penguin Mario. 

When I got home, Baby G hurriedly went downstairs while asking me if I was able to get all to complete the 8. I told her that one was out of stock. I told her that we could already open all even though we lack 1 figure. The little lady was firm in saying "no" because we have to complete all 8. Oh boy! My EQ is much lower than the 4-year old, but I have no other choice now but to complete them.

And now I am on my day 3, and I won't go home until I get Peach the Princess. 

I will be taking photos once I completed them, so you may expect an update to this blog by the end of this week. 

Ciao!
