Weekend fun with a side of attitude.

Well, although our weekend was not that eventful, we always manage to still have fun just hanging out.  Saturday I cleaned all day, very boring, and Bradley was very gracious with me so after our evening walk I took him to the playground at Sonic.  This is the second time I have taken the boys by myself and I must say that if the chocolate shakes and cheeseburgers didn’t go straight to my hips than I would make this more of a tradition.  When we go around 7pm in the summer its not dark yet and NO ONE is there so we have the whole place to ourselves.  Its like a picnic and park dinner and you order at the playground and they bring it to you on Skates! Here is Bradley that evening….

literally saying “cheese” in this shot

Trying not to look happy.  I don't know if its a 3 year old phase or just Bradley, but, he is stiff-mouthed at times. 

031

One of the reasons is he is annoyed with my picture-taking.

This is him trying to hard to “Cheese”

Then our Sunday was church and home for lunch and a NAP.  All three of us took a nap today at the same time which I thoroughly enjoyed.  We actually rested on the day of rest.  What a concept.  Then we woke up and had some outdoor fun…..

and Bradley, not sleeping, ANNOYED again.  What is with these red headed attitudes!  Which leads me into my mini-stand up routine….

How do you get a red-heads mood to change?

                                   Wait 10 seconds.

How do you get a red-head to argue with you?

                                   Say something!

Unfortunately as simple and funny as they are.  These “Jokes” are my reality. 

I will stick to my day job, which includes this…..

001

Cleaning up a million pieces of broken plastic from this clock.  Bradley swung his brothers jumper too high, which he's not supposed to do at all, and it fell off the wall.  He got scared, immediately sat down and said “Uh-oh, maybe daddy’s gonna spank my butt!”

003

He went and got this pillow and fell asleep.   Sometimes I get lucky when I wait him out.  Then, here's some pictures of my cutie….

Bradley’s quote of the day.

“Hola means hello in Chinese!”

I corrected him.  He’s getting his Spanish and Chinese cartoons mixed up.
