Mood:  hungry

Well, I have returned. I declare that it is nap time soon! Today I babysat Mr. 3yr old. Fun times. His mom and little sister are coming back later this afternoon, so we only had a small adventure today.

After he woke up I tricked him into cleaning up all of his toys and the mess in the living room. hehe. He thought it was a really FUN game. We read some books that were on the floor and then he got to be strong and put them away on the shelf for me. Then we put together all of his puzzles after he found the pieces. All of his trains had a party in the depot and then he learned how to fold up a blanket. He also got to be a flying super hero who flew from the table with dirty cups and soared to the sink and put them in the soapy water. (his dad said he could have one of the cookies grandma sent if he was good) So after he ate breakfast and he put away his last dirty sock, he got a "high-five" and a blue sprinkled cookie. (he LOVES "high-fives" and cookies too!) I was suprised, it only took 45 minutes to accomplish all of that.

Next he got dressed and then he put his shoes on all by himself. (its slightly rare to see him do that) We decided we would go to the park, and take the kick ball too! (it's a little farther than Moma Mouse's house to Sir A.J, Knight of the Round Table's school. No busy streets though, it's in the middle of the neighborhood =) ) So we locked up the house and I made him walk all the way there and back too. He was exhausted when we came back though, took us 30 minutes to walk back!

 We got to the park and immediately went to the slides. hehe. Then he thought it would be fun to roll the ball down the slide and for me to catch it at the bottom. After a while we went on the grass and played kick ball. He ran the whole time! He had a blast too! Then I convinced him to be brave and try the swings. (we never went back to the slides after that! "Can you make me go higher? Please?") hehe. I had to make him stop and drink his water, he didn't want to stop playing! I don't blame him, it was nice out. Now of course this park has trees, lots of them. And with trees come... billions and billions of squirrels. "Can I chase the squirrels?" sure, why not. So he ran after them and I walked after him. We wound up underneath this small tree that was full of acorns both in it and on the ground. He, of course, was curious about these weird shaped rock things. Nature Lesson Time! Now we are chasing after the squirrels trying to feed them acorns and return the ones they dropped (buried really). Those squirrels were mean to him though. He was sooo excited to be chasing the squirrels and even more so when he got really close. Well these little buggers would run 2 feet in front of him and just taunt him; then, as soon as he'd get a 1 foot distance they'd move just a little bit.  "Here Mr. Squirrel you can eat this acorn..... Wait! you HAVE to eat this acorn! You dropped this acorn Mr. Squirrel."  I had a hard time not laughing. It was cute. He was so determined to give the squirrel back his acorns and feed him the ones that he found. I think we ran around doing this for a good 50 minutes.

Finally, it was about time we headed back to his house. (his dad would be home really soon, and we still had a ways to walk) Our new mission was to make it back home fast, so we could have some crackers and cheese. We were both starving (burned a lot of energy).  Not 15 minutes later after we go back, his dad came home. YAY! I get to go home and see Flyboy! (he was forced to take today off. Too many comp daps apparently. Hey, I'm not complaining.)

So, I am now home and just finished up my tacos that Flyboy made for me. (he cleaned up the house too!)  I think I will jump in the shower and lay down for a short nap. All the pollens and grass gave me a headache. It isn't too bad, just annoying.

This weekend was fun-ish. We went to the mall and found a dress for the Ball this Friday. It is semi-formal, so I think this dress will be great. I took Flyboy with me, since I have no idea what I am looking for and he seemed have way more fun shopping for this outfit than I did. Grr. He wasn't suppose to enjoy it. But yeah pretty busy.

Oh! Since I didn't post yesterday....

Mom!

I better go for now! I'm having a hard time focusing at the moment. Flyboy says "What do I need to say? I fly!" lol. I think he needs some coffee or something. I may take him outside for a walk later tonight... Poor thing has been cooped up in here since I left at 0600. I had the car so he couldn't drive anywhere. (I can't remember if I told everyone but he officially has his license now. That in itself is a LONG story that my brain can't process until it powers off and reboots.)

So... this is
