6月26日 A Cape and a message........beep!My life has been super busy we've had so much going on that I've not even had time to blog! *gasp* How could that be?! We've won a prize from six flags called "thrilled ever after" we are renewing our vows there on 7/7/07 so it's been CRAZY trying to get all of that together *and* we are leaving on thursday to go to St. Louis with Nother Brother and his family and Gramma Crazy and the second batch for the weekend. We'll get back on Sunday evening and then my sweet boy has to work 3rds on wednesday night into thursday morning so that'll throw off our week, toss in the 4th of July and then we have a down day on the 5th if you count getting the house ready for TWENTY guests on the 6th a down day! So we've been running around crazy trying to get things together. I am wearing an adorable white ballcap studded w/rhinestones in the shape of the superman shield and I'm attaching a veil to it for the ceremony. Jeremy is wearing a regular shirt and a black bowtie *and* a superman cape from six flags....here is the story of the cape.
(fade to black)
84* outside hot and sweaty and we're traipsing through six flags..no shock right? But today, today we have a mission! We are searching for a superman cape for my hero to wear for our renewal. We looked in a few of the stores and finally found a cape...but wait...what's this? an ADULT size cape?! who'da thought! How amazing right? WRONG I show it to dh who turns up his superhero snob nose and says "it's not the right shade of red." I asked if he was serious, since he IS colorblind and he reconsidered long enough to try it on to see how it'd fit. Now, I should say that it was my idea to do the superhero homage to superheroes since my husband is a major fan and it sorta makes it themey and you all know how I love a good theme. I knew he was on board but until this moment I didnt know *how* on board he was. Okay, so he takes the cape from me and with a flick of his wrists he whips it around and lays it across his shoulders. Then carefully and decidedly he smooths the cape over his shoulders and I see him grow taller....broader.....dare I say stronger in the span of 2 seconds. I being the supportive caring wife I am say "did you seriously just puff your chest out?!" and giggle to which he doesnt deflate oh no he stands even taller (is that possible?) and says "yes, yes you did" but then decides that the color is too off and he wants a better cape so we're off to search the park some more. We went to the Superman ride thinking they might have something there that would better serve our needs, looking high and low we see nothing. And then he says "like that one! that's the one I want" and I look over and he's not pointing to a shelf he's pointing to a person! A 20 something hispanic man who's with several friends, that's all I needed was a direction. The boy found the cape of his dreams and by golly I'm getting it. I walk up to the gent and ask where he got the cape. He tells me and it's the complete opposite side of the park and I really dont want to walk alllllll the way over there. I offer him money, yes that's right I offered him money and the strangest thing happened. I saw this glimmer of sadness in his face at the thought of giving up his cape. I could see he was torn and had I continued on with my story of woe he would have given up the cape just because he seemed to be a nice guy but I couldn't be part of de-caping a man. I told him thanks and walked off and I daresay he adjusted his cape and wore it even more proudly! I remembered this game you could play to win a cape near the superman we found it, Jeremy played it and he WON! It was muy exciting! He loves the color of the cape and put it on straight away once we got it. It fit and looked nice and I asked him if he wanted to put it in the bag and he looked at me as if I'd grown 2 heads. He scoffed and said "no! do you know how long I've wanted one of these?" He strutted his stuff the whole way outta the park and I kid you not at least one guy even said "hey guy, nice cape" what is it with boys and capes?! I put it into the van as he put the wagon away and we secured the children in car seats. He then said he probably shouldn't wear it again until we have the ceremony....ya know keep it special! Major gigglefest on my part, if I wasn't so confident in myself I might be a skoosh jealous of this cape he so obviously adores.
As we are driving home Smarta starts entertaining Ballio. She plays eye-spy with him and Jeremy and I are talking business of people coming and how to feed the masses and on and on and then I hear them start playing "wheeeere's Ballio? wheeeere's he at?" it always ends in an eruption of giggles, which always suprises me because I'd think that they were both too old for the game to be fun. Guess not as it entertained them for several minutes and then Ballio decided to try his hand at the game. So he starts in with "Where's Smarta? Where is smarta go?!" to which Smarta answered "here I am" and they would laugh. She played along for several stoplights and I could feel her interest starting to wane but she was being a good sport. Then I hear "where's smarta? smarta where are youuuuuuu?"
"Smarta's not here leave a message after the beep...................BEEP"
"oh otay smarta"
and the van fell silent
for at least 20 seconds that is. 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://adventuresinmotherhood.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!79371AC83ACBBA8D!172.trak 引用此项的网络日志
