Traipsing across Markham to replace a malfunctioning light up snake Halloween decoration.

Didn’t realize there were multiple Markham locations, so I obviously drove to the wrong one first, and then panicked when the shelves were bare. It dawned on me at the guest services desk that there could be other stores in town. Quick search pulled up one across town from where I was. After a second twenty plus minutes drive in commuter traffic, I found it. Making the left across Major Mac was no joke. Ugly. And infuriating. Made it here, and found what I needed on the seasonal wall shelf. Let us pray it actually lights up. What are the odds I find two that go bust!?! I’ll test it in a wall socket before I put it in the display out front of the house. Things we do for our kids.

**Editor’s Note: It works, the new snake lights up, and has all of its parts in the box. Yay! I have now placed it back out front with the other Halloween decorations to surprise my youngest when she gets home from school today.bi had to drive to two other stores all across Markham to do it, but we got it done! And had time to do a farm walk before the rain set in. Nice. A solid win in the dad column.
