Rain Rain go Away

So what else can you do on a Rainy Saturday afternoon in Washington? Well we headed out to Borders Book Store after a quick stop at the coffee shop for some energy in a cup. We arrived just in time to catch the end of the story telling and then we spent a few hours checking out our own selections! Trysten was able to read a majority of the Ready to read level 2 book. Although he did it with a lot of encouragement and a few tears (these generally appear when he is trying to get out of doing anything he considers "work"). I was happy to see that he made it throughmost of the book. We also spent a lot of time on the MONSTER book which discussed all kinds from vampires and werewolves to Jekyll and Hide. All of which are real, he swears they are!

We learned a very hard lesson about the mailman. Since Mommy made the mistake of telling him the mailman was going to bring Speed Racer for him on Saturday. He woke up asking if the mail man was had came at 7:30am, and every half hour until I convinced him that we should go to the book store and the mail man would probably drop the book of while we were gone. Well sadly when we returned at 4:30 the mailman still hadn't been there, and a short mental breakdown ensued until he finally gave up all hope and was laying on the floor. When what does he see walking by the front window?? You guessed it the Mail Man, PHEW!

On a side note don't let boys watch this and have rootbeer soda or you will end up with a racing maniac, who runs from room to room!
