Vitamin or Toy?

Bradley has gotten to the age where he should have a multi-vitamin every day. When I took him to the doctor for his 3 year old check up the doctor told me that as long as he had a vitamin and a glass of whole milk a day he would be quite healthy. We went to the store after his appointment and picked out some multi-vitamins. Dave was there too and the boys decided that Transformers vitamins were way too cool to pass up. We have created a routine in the morning to get the days started. I make Bradley a bowl of cereal, a small cup of whole milk and a vitamin. Bradley has come up with his routine as well. He picks up his vitamin and says, "Okay mom is this a toy or a vitamin." I say, "It's a vitamin, Bradley so eat it." He then proceeds to either quote the movie or making flying noises as he puts it in his mouth. And that's how mornings go at the Dickson House.

Our much needed date-weekend

Saturday afternoon we dropped Bradley off and went to see X-Men Origins:Wolverine. It was pretty amazing. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a big fan of the ending, but all in all it's definitely a movie worth watching if you like X-Men. When X-men ended we had about 2 hours until our next movie. (Yes TWO movies in one evening, we're CRAZY people!!) We walked over to the mall next to the theater and went window shopping. We found some cool stuff and THE CUTEST PAIR OF SHOES!! They were for newborns and they had a little black skull with a pink bow!! I told Dave that if we ever have a girl that is going to be her first pair of shoes. We ate some dinner at the food court and then headed back to the theater for our 7:30 movie. We got in early, sat down and prepared ourselves for the new Fast and the Furious. Again, awesome movie! Much better than I expected. I was a little concerned since the third one was way out there. But this one was better, but it wasn't like a 4th story. I think Dave and I decided that it was probably supposed to be between the first and the second ones. Which I think is a bit Star Wars-y. We got out of the last movie satisfied and exhausted. We went and picked Bradley up and came home and crashed.

Sunday, we woke up late and had 15 minutes to get ready and head up to Shayla's place. We got up there 30 minutes early!! Go us, right?!?! We came back home with about 4 hours until we had to meet everyone to go to shooting. So after a quick trip to Walmart for breakfast foods we came home. We made shelves for our closet and they turned out really nice. We even put contact paper on them to make them a bit prettier and to keep from getting splinters. I love them. We then played Scrabble on the Xbox and then got ready to go. We met everyone and headed up to the hills. We stayed out there for about 3 hours and shot a range of different firearms. It was tons of fun!! I even came back with a little bruise on my shoulder from the shot-gun. After that we headed up to get Bradley and then came home exhausted...again.

So that was our weekend. It was tons of fun and I wish we could do stuff like this every weekend!! I have so much fun doing things with Dave!! I love that guy!!
