Fruit Woops

Today, September the firteenf and cwoudy.

"Guess what? We got to pattern Fruit Woops today... Den after that we got to eat them. Like on the first one, we had to do purple, purple, orange, then green, green, blue, den green, green, blue, den fill in the blank. Den the second one was red, blue, yellow. Red, blue, yellow, den fill in the blank. But den, I didn't have enough Fruit Woop colors. I needed one more blue fruit loop. So, I said 'Miss Holt, I'm losing a Fruit Woop and..." His eyes got really big, he put his hands together in front of his chest and moved his fingers. Imagine an mad scientist. "She gave me a hand full of Fruit Woops. But I only needed 1. I just think she just wanted me to have more Fruit Woops. Everyone but _____, ______, and ______  had two handfuls to make it gooder." He paused, looked up at the ceiling, and corrected himself,  "Better, I mean."

Now for Gideon. Yesterday was also a back to school bash for his Mother's Day Out program. It was a big carnival type thing games and snacks type stuff. If you ask Gideon, it was a Vegetable. That's Gidzilla speech for festival. Outside there was a cotton candy booth, popcorn, and snow cones booth. There were different stations set up all around with different kiddy games to earn tickets like a ring toss, plinko, and others. Gideon's favorite was the "Duck Swimming Pool" where he could pick "free(3) ducks" that had numbers on the bottom to represent the numbers of tickets he won. He also like the football toss.

At the end of the morning he had won 30 tickets. We went inside, where they were serving lunch and found a few more booths, including a cupcake walk. Gideon won a white cupcake on his first go around and the lady running the booth was kind enough to give 'salivating' daddy a cupcake. Inside he also "fithed (fished) for a thuckor" and got a dinosaur tattoo on his hand.

We then went to turn in our tickets. Gideon picked out a whistle, a purple compass/key chain thing for him, and a green one for his "bwover".

We ate lunch, I had a Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich and some chips. G ate a hot dog, some chips, some cheetoes, a cookie, and a brownie. The day ended with us going home and taking a nap.
