it's saturday! mom and i took dad to work this morning after breakfast time. it's sooooo freaken hot out. like you get sweaty just walking from the car to the house kind of hot. mom and i drove around to a couple estate sales. the car is airconditioned and the houses are airconditioned. you just get a little hot walking from the house to the car. the first one we went to mom found some cookie cutters to buy. she was all excited because the box had a scottie dog cutter. she says her collection of vintage cookie cutters is now complete. she's got everything she needs to make christmas cookies just like her gram's. christmas cookies are a big thing i guess. i had a few last christmas. they were pretty good. not sure what all the fuss is about though.
while mom was paying for her stuff i helped myself to a lollipop from the table. i got a stern look from mom because i didn't ask first. oops. i just can't resist lollipops. we got in the car and mom drove us down the road. she pulled into this parking lot. what's this? mom said- as long as we're here, we might as well check out the squirrel ridge park. whooo-hoo. i ran across the field to the kid play area. i didn't see any squirrels but there were loads of butterflies around. i had a few minutes of running around play time. it's too darn hot for any more than that. mom says there's something called heat stroke which little kids and old people have to watch out for. when it's 100+ out and 85% humidity, you can get really sick, really fast.
mom and i drove off to the next sale. it was a big old house full of stuff. mom found a bunch of old books for kids to learn about different countries and world histories. sounds kind of boring but the pictures are fun. she got a couple of other uninteresting things. i found something with buttons i really wanted. i was very displeased when mom said no. i had a bit of a fuss and that was the end of that. mom paid for her things and frog marched me back to the car. shopping done for the day i guess.
got home and had some lunch. i was relaxing a bit and mom said- get your socks on it's time to go. where are we going? is it bowling? i'd really like to go bowling. and it was! mom took me bowling. we got there around 1pm and had the whole place to ourselves. no one else was there but the two guys who run the place. it was pretty cool. i tried out a few new ball techniques. they didn't work out so well. i didn't bowl my best games but i had fun and mom says that's the important part. i also drank most of mom's gatoraid and that always makes me happy.
after bowling mom drove us over to walmart since it's right there. we got orange juice and blueberries. not exciting but tasty.
and that's pretty much my day. going to pick up dad and a chicago style pizza for dinner. awesome.
