A day in the life of..

On Friday, Tyler stayed with my mom and Deborah for the day. I guess they decided to hit the stores. (Something you will surely NOT find me doing the day after Thanksgiving!) Anyway, Tyler suckered Na-Na into buying him a set of about 50 guns! GREAT! I swear, not letting this child play with guns when he was younger is my biggest parental mistake. All he ever wants to do now is play with guns. He says he just loves to play "Army". Oh yeah, he also wants to be in the Canadian army when he grows up. Nice. Well, I guess that would be a good army to be in, since they do NOTHING! Anyway, Saturday we went shopping at the mall and Tyler got the video game Ratchet and Clank 3. Of course Na-Na bought that too. He is SOOOO happy. He loves that game! He first got sucked into the game at my dads house because he has it there, but now the magic gets to be at home too! Last night we picked out our Christmas tree and every year I let Tyler pick out the tree. So far I have had some real doozies. One year he picked out a tree that was probably 4ft tall and 4ft wide. It was like a hedge bush. It was so funny! I tried to talk him out of it, but he would not have it. He even cried so the man gave us a discount and a free tree stand! (I think he thought I wasn't getting it because I couldn't afford it.) Last year, he choose the ultimate Charlie Brown tree. I mean this thing had parts missing and branches sticking out all over, it was hilarious!! He choose the tree, but I took him all around the place showing him every tree thinking that he would get confused and then forget the tree he wanted, but of course he went right back to it every time. It was so funny I just had to get it. So, needless to say I was pretty nervous this year. We walked into the tree lot and he choose the very first tree he found. It was so beautiful! It is the most perfect tree. Even he told me that this was the most perfect tree he had ever seen! It was so cute. I took him to look all around to make sure, but he insisted on that one. I was happy too. Of course when we got in the car, driving away with the tree, he said he found a more perfect one. Oh well, there is always next year!!
