Spring Break 2009

So it's Spring Break this week................remember the old days: bikinis, sun...lots of booze...this year I've been hanging out with Keegan..and really it's nice but if we don't get out of the house every day and do something we both go a little nutty.
Today he asked hopefully, "La La's?"
"Uh, no..no La La's"
That's the name for his daycare lady..
so I know that my company must be starting to wear thin.

Monday we went to Target. Twice.
Tuesday we went to the Zoo. Or the "Zow" as Keegan likes to call it. I think that's Wow and Zoo together.
Wednesday we went ..no wait I think the Zow was Wednesday and Target was Tuesday..what the hell did we do Monday then?
Oh, never mind. Maybe that was the day I started drinking earlier than the 5:00 news.
Oh I am just kidding! Pipe down judgmental "you don't have a toddler" people out there!
Anyway, yesterday was the bookstore where that chicken runs around and poops freely, but now Keegan is old enough to appreciate all of the OTHER animals such as the ferrets and the three cats, especially the one missing his tail, I do wonder how that happened..hmmm..
AND he LOVED walking down the street in Linden Hills and staring at the man fixing a street lamp on a ladder... ohhhh he could have loitered for hours on that street corner..that was wayy better than the tail-less cat..
And today was the gymnastics place where he got to run around like a crazed maniac and climb and jump and give me a heart attack because I had no idea that he could climb and jump so well..
He seemed to have NO FEAR...
It was GREAT..he is not a sissy and I am and let's just keep it that way..

This mother on Spring Break did not lay on a beach in a bikini with a drink in her hand. She chased her toddler around the Zow and the book store and climbed onto the trampoline because her child was breaking the rule: "Only one child at a time is allowed on the trampoline" because SOMEONE didn't read the sign...Well, I got excited!
"Stop bouncing honey you are going to bounce that little boy right off.. Let his Momma get him"
Oh God it's always something with us....

This spring break has not really been a break..let's be honest, but it has been time with Keegan and that is something that I have treasured every single second of..well..except for when he had a meltdown on the street after he dropped his banana in the dirty snow..those few minutes I could have lived without...let's just be honest...
BUT in all seriousness we have had a good BREAK together even if he is ready for a BREAK from me now...we love each other a lot and we are best pals..and that's my spring break story of 2009.
Thanks for the inspiration Rachel! :)
