friday\saturday - shaggy came to spend the nite. i picked him up and asked where he wanted to go, completely avoiding bringing up McDonalds. i even named RED LOBSTER (booger's favorite)! at first, he wanted Taco Bell. then he thot about it and said he changed his mind. he'd rather have McD's... because he wants to play on the slide!
so off to the slides we go.
he had a pretty good time, i think. up until the part where he got in trouble and started crying and wanted to go home. after explaining to him why he got in trouble, the boy made ME cry more than he was crying. ugh! five minutes later, he was fine and laughing. my whole face was still red from crying.
of course, no visit to McD's is complete without SOFT SERVE!!
afterwards, we went to Wally World and picked up a game for him to play at my place. we got the joystick game that has ms pac-man, galaga, pole position and two others i had no clue how to play. he caught on pretty quick.
he also took his first self portrait. i'm so proud.
here he is as THE KING. he made me watch Space Jam and we fell asleep watching The Lion King. good god man, i almost fell asleep just watching the frikkin' previews on that one.
the next morning, we were up bright and early for breakfast. we went to Denny's and i have to "thank" S2 and BIL2 for the (not so helpful) tips on what he likes for breakfast. let me tell you first that after he looked at the menu he said he didn't want "waffles" but the other kind was fine. i assumed he meant pancakes. we also showed him two different types of eggs. he picked overeasy. when our food came out, not only did he not eat his pancakes and tell me he didn't like eggs, but then stole MY bacon! and then i had to order him toast just so he'd have something in his belly! freak kid. after breakfast, i took him to the beach to play "explorer". he had fun climbing on the rocks, scaring the birds and gathering sticks "to make a fire".
of course, after he found the PERFECT stick, we drew his name in the sand.
after dora the explorer came down from his "beach high", we walked down the strand to check things out and do a little shopping. he felt like a big boy because he got to feed one of the carriage horses. he stopped short of letting the horse give him kisses, tho.
he also lost his christmas bracelet on the beach so i bought him a new one. the new one was black with $$$$$ signs all around it. i asked why he wanted that one since the only money in his pocket were all the quarters he stole from my change jar???? he replied with the cutest frikkin' grin you've ever seen.
this is my shaggy on the way home. we had a pretty busy day and a late nite before that. when we started to pack up he asked if he could stay with me again, tonite. melt my heart.
he loves me.
the rest of the weekend. well... shaggy just made my weekend.
