Blake: just chillin' watchin' his bro' Andrew: getting ready to ride
There he goes! He jumped up and down after each ride. He was so excited, and a bit cold.
BAM! He's so cool!

Just when I think I am getting good at living without, saving money, being careful and cautious, I go and throw money away on a spur of the moment thrill. *sigh*
Now that I've put my sad regrets out there let me just tell you how much fun this was! I took the boys (Andrew and Blake) to the mall so they could play in the play area. I thought we'd just take a walk around the mall and then ended up there long enough that I thought maybe I'd be a little bad and throw a couple bucks at Sonic to hold my kids over until we get home. (How lame is that rationalizaion? I could just go straight home: they'd live.) So as we were walking around the food court i saw this store called Adrenaline. It's this cool boarding shop that APARENTLY has a wave maker (I don't know what it's really called) in the middle of the store. I've seen Vans stores with skate parks inside but I've never noticed this before! I was so excited so I shuffled my kids inside the store. An employee was bustin' some sa'weet moves and the kids just kept saying, "Aweseome!" I started talking to another employee about how cool that was and he looked down at Andrew and told me he was tall enough to go inside. I couldn't believe it. Before I knew, I paid the store twenty bucks and tossed my kid into a thirty minute surfing lesson.
I was already feeling bad spending a couple bucks and here I go throwing out twenty. Then, since we were there for even longer, I still bought them food at the food court. Then I bought Randall his anniversary gift.
I should never go to the mall. Maybe I should just never leave my home.
Buuuuuuuuuut.... Woah How cool, right!? My little dude, my little surfer dude crashing out on the waves and coming back for more. A mother could not be more proud. He's so going to be spending summers at Grandma's house and living at the beach when he's older. Is it bad that that is my dream for him? I don't know: he just seems like that type of kid. So in typical fashion I'll probably steer thim that way. Am I perpetuating a stereotype? Do I care? How cool is this!?
