We actually had a pretty uneventful weekend, but it still went by pretty fast. For those of you who don't know the new PS2 rule in the house, the PS2 is a weekend only toy. I wanted to have Alex's pictures taken on Friday night so I picked him up from the community center, dressed him up in his Sunday best, argued with him for 20 minutes on tucking in his shirt, and off we were. The photographer was great - she new just how to get Alex to smile! After having a 50-minute conversation about burbs and other potty humor, Alex was about in tears from laughing so hard. In her book, she even tilted him "Farty Alex". Alex and I then went out for supper since he looked so nice. No dirt, no mud, no food on the face - it was defiantly a moment to capture. Saturday, however, it was one of those days for him. He had the PS2 taken away for the morning after about 10 minutes for talking back which pretty much set the tone for the day. Have you ever had one of those days were you don't even want to leave the house with the fruits of your womb? Thankfully Sunday was a much better day. He played Veggie Tales PS2 game before going to Sunday School and he even thought Veggie Tales would be an appropriate substitute for church but we went anyway. After lunch, I did play Lego Star Wars with him and then we were outside for the afternoon. We played baseball, made our best attempt at skateboarding, rode bike, and walked down to Pizza Hut for supper since he has a bunch of those book-it slips to "cash in". While waiting for our food, we had a pretty interesting conversation. On the paper place mats, there were a set of questions that I thought would be fun to ask Alex but I not sure how to interpret his answers -
Mom - If you were a wild animal, which animal would you be?
Alex - A bear so I can sleep lots
Mom - If you had a million dollars, what would you buy?
Alex - A house and a car
Mom - A house and a car? Would you live by yourself?
Alex - Yes
Mom - Where would mom live?
Alex - Mom, why do you think I got the car? I don't even have a drivers licence!
Mom - (moving on) If you were the president for the day, what would you do?
Alex - I would destroy the city
Mom - the city of Madison? What about me?
Alex - Mom - you're living in the car!
Mom - What about your friends, What about my friends?
Alex - Well everybody would be safe expert *Bob (not real name) because he said that I have a baby backpack
Mom - (moving on again) If you had one wish, what would you wish for?
Alex - Root Beer
*Side note - I wouldn't let Alex have root beer with his pizza
Mom - If you were isolated on a deserted island, what one possession would you bring?
Alex - your cell phone so I can call you to tell you I'm on the island.
Such logic!
