IT'S HALLOWEEN!
this morning i didn't want to get out of bed. i got up in the middle of the night and walked around a bit. i wasn't sleepy. but then i went back to bed and i was sleepy. dad knew i was up. he asked me why i turned the light on. i just want to look at stuff.
anyway, mom dragged me out of bed and got me dressed at a stupid time. she said it was raining out so we had to drive dad to work. fine. got outside and there was no rain. i sat in the car and mom drove us into town. dropped dad off at work. mom and i went home because there's nothing that needs to get done today. today is all about having fun apparently.
i finally woke up enough to eat some breakfast. mom said i could have a toaster strudel, awesome. ate that up and it was time to use skype. talked to grdad a bit since jammma wasn't home yet. had a good chat with grdad.
mom and i hung out for awhile not doing much of anything. she made me watch some movie called the goonies and then some scary ass thing called: the nightmare before christmas. luckily i only had to watch a bit of the scary movie because mom said it was time to go. where are we going? mom said it was time to start halloween.
got in the car and mom drove us to somewhere i've never been before. we're doing something new! mom didn't know where she was going either. the talking lady told us where to go. we ended up at this big school. mom drove around a bit and found a girl to give us better directions. she pointed us to the zoo. the zoo? yes, there's a small zoo at santa fe college. we're going to boo at the zoo.
after a bit of driving through endless parking lots mom found where we needed to be. she parked the car and we got out. we walked to the zoo. at the entrance i got a candy loot bag. mom donated some cans and we were in.
boo at the zoo was awesome. the students did a really great job. there were different theme worlds. the first one was super heroes. i saw spiderman and someone mom called wonderwoman. there were lots of heroes i've never seen before because mom doesn't let me watch those kinds of movies yet. they were all giving out candy! that's super enough for me.
the next world was alien invasion land. there were army guys with a smoking tank and pretend guns battling green creatures. the army guys were giving out candy and calling it ammo.  some suggested i should throw it at any aliens i saw. we'll see about that.
i made it through alien land and found myself in toystory. i saw a giant woody and slinky dog. slinky dog gave me candy. boopeep was there and so was wheezy the penguin.  we went through gates into pizza planet and i saw the claw machine. it's all real. mom was wrong. toystory is not just pretend.
after toystory we went on a pirate adventure. i found the pirate girls a little scary. they were kind of loud and waving around bottles of rum, singing songs. i did find a nice mermaid and she gave me lots of candy. she had a really nice tail. and that was boo at the zoo. it was good.
mom said since we're here, we might as well visit the animals too. so we walked into the actual zoo part. it's just a small teaching zoo. they don't have any big or dangerous animals. i saw a couple different monkeys and some birds. mom got all excited about something called armordillo.
made our way of the zoo and walked around the different booths set up outside. the booth people were giving out things like fruit rollups and rice crispy treats. awesome. they handed mom a bunch of different flyers. there was a lot to see.
finally visited everything there was and mom took me back to the car. she said- how about we go to the mall? i like the mall. to play? no, to get more candy. so mom drove us to the mall. it wasn't that far. we managed to find a parking space and went in.
mom took me to the information desk and they gave me a candy loot bag and a map. mom read the map and we went around to different stores giving out CANDY! one of the restaurants we visited wasn't giving out candy but they were giving out ICE CREAM! i got a free cup of ice cream. mom and i shared it.
we finished up at the mall and mom was all- how about we go to the grocery store and get a few things for dad's dinner and more candy? what? more candy?! sure enough. we got to the grocery store and i got yet another loot bag. mom walked around getting things on her list and i got candy from the store people.
mom paid for the shopping and we went home. phew. what a long day of doing stuff. i took off my costume and sat on the couch for a few minutes. it was only a few minutes because mom started shouting- time to get dressed! we're off to another event. what? there's a party at the Y, let's go.
i got back into my costume and mom drove us to the Y. mom donated a bunch of cans and we were set. in the field they had a bunch of cars and games set up. mom took me around to each of the games, after you finished a game you got to pick candy from the car trunk. i did a great job at build a skeleton. i know your hip bone is connected to your leg bone. the kid in front of us was trying to out physiology my mom, good luck with that kid. another game i did great at was- tossing eyeballs in a cup. the girl said i was the first kid to get all 5 eyeballs in. go me. i was waiting in line for a game when someone came up and started squeezing my head. what the hell man? i turned around and it was my dad! awesome.
i finished up the games so mom and dad took me inside. in the gym they had 2 bouncey things set up. there was a huge slide and a bounce house. i had a really good bounce. i got to go down the slide 3 times. it was soooo much fun. i could have bounced and slid all day but mom said we had to get dad home for his dinner.
got home and now i'm going to fall over. i am all halloweened out. such a fun day.
