my favorite boy in the world

yep, that's how i feel about xander. i love him soooooooooooo much! i always have such a good time with him. if i ever decide i want a kid, i'll just take him home with me and keep him forever.

i got over to port orchard on sunday afternoon after the morning snow had melted and xander was still in his pjs. i guess he and my father had been playing wii all morning and hadn't bothered to get dressed! we went over to visit my grandpa who is now on oxygen and feeling very weak. xander rode a bike down the porch stairs while we were visiting with grandpa and skinned up his elbow so auntie susie had to patch him up. is that just a right of passage for all kids or what? i think i rode a trike down the stairs INSIDE my house when i was two.

i got to see my crush that evening. we read old dirty joke books from the sixties that had belonged to his grandfather. most of the jokes were kinda pathetic but a lot of them had to do with incest or pedophilia. wtf? plus, all the jokes about gays referred to them as pansies!

xander decided he'd sleep in the family room with me and picked out a movie for us. gotta love the kid that selects "something wicked this way comes." when i was a kid, i was scared to death of that movie. xander dozed off halfway through it.

i played "guitar hero world tour" and watched "hauntings" with my mother while xander was at school. yeah, we kinda like spooky stuff in my family. xander burst in the door when he got home and yelled, "auntie susie, i'm back!" he had an assembly at school that day and got three awards - one for perfect attendance, one for reading at home, and a book for reaching his book reading goal. i was so proud i told him i needed to get a picture of them all. he made me wait while he changed into his western shirt and pirate vest so he'd "look fashionable in his picture." where does he get that?

the peacocks came over but the boy pecked my hand and refused to fan his tail again. i'm getting so ticked at him!

xander and i mugged for pictures until it was time for me to leave for the ferry. as i was heading out the door, he presented me with the coolest drawing ever. can you believe he drew this? heck, he even drew my outfit perfectly. i am going to get a frame for it tomorrow.

i can't wait until i get over there next week.
