Friday Fun Day

Today is the one year anniversary of my mother's very unexpected death.  What a downer, right?  I found out at school and didn't want to be there today.  I took the day off for a doctor's appointment and made a day out of it with the boy, so that this day was completely different than this day a year ago.

We went to see BoxTrolls, complete with candy and popcorn.  Xman was really excited to try his first Mike and Ikes.   He sang about it all through Target, all the way to the car, and the entire ride from Target to the movies ...

 We went to four party/halloween stores to try to find a Green Lantern costume ... just to buy a "Speedo Batman" costume that was every store searched.  At the third store we asked for costume 103 -small, went back to pick it up and they had given us 003.  I asked again for 103 and the worker brought me 130.  Seriously?!  Hence, the fourth store.  

We bought two goldfish ... I mean orange fish.  Xman was so cute, talking to them all the way home and kissing the bag they were in ... and he named them "bomby-bomb" and "R."  

We got home in time to see Daddy, and then Chonte' came over.


Sometimes you are Superman and sometimes you are Doctor Doom.  Today was a pretty good day.
