Arrgh! Monday already? Where did the weekend go? I am so not ready for another week.
Here's a quick recap for those not paying attention this weekend: I bought a new bike, stopped Dad from getting scammed on Ebay, ate some pizza on Friday, rain on Sat, took kids for pictures, sat with Easter bunny, saw movie, Sunday up early Reagan and Mom had bell ringers at church, then Reagans softball practice, played soccer with Ian, rode bikes around town, came home rode around house, Mom came for dinner (dad in GA).
Apparently, I am cheap. Note above, I said "sat with Easter Bunny", not had pictures with. Mel was in line to pay for some clothes, when she says, "take the kids and have their picture taken". Ok, great. We head on over and there is the mall bunny. Fine. It comes up to our turn and I read the fine print: $20. Are you kidding me? $20 for a 5x7 of my kids next to some clown in a furry suit possibly touching my kids inappropriately (I doubt there is much of a background check, I mean really, if you fit the suit you are in, like Johnny Bravo). So, I tell the kids we are just going to sit with the bunny, no photo. Reagan freaks. Apparently she idolizes bunny pictures. So I pull them both out of line and sit down and relax (ok, I was relaxing the kids were misty eyed. good-cop mom comes and goes along with my decision (though obviously she would have paid $20 for the photo). Cmon! $20 for the modern-day equivalent of a Polaroid? I probably won't be asked to come to the mall anymore...
Ok, the cops just showed up at my neighbors house, guns not drawn, so that is a good thing. Gotta run...
