STRIKE!

We got a Groupon for a carpet cleaning, so they came today.  Doing this in the winter and on a Saturday were two very bad decisions.  We then had to find a way to keep Wm out of the house and off the damp carpets ALL day.  So we took him out to lunch, then bowling, then to Target, then out to dinner...it was quite a day.  

Wm is a blur of action bowling.  Wm bowls as if the ball was a shot put - he throws that thing overhand and it THUDS into the lane and sort of meanders down toward the pins.  Wm did almost bowl a 100 though!

Suzanne was a strike out queen!  She got more strikes than anyone!  Wm was very jealous.  And quite grumpy about it.

Wm and Daddy. Daddy actually won Wm a tiny stuffed crab (very apropos) from one of those grab 'em games!  Wm was in love with it...but now seems to have no idea where it is.

Look at that form!!!

After a day of activity after activity, Wm was BEAT.  He was totally grumpy and evil, so I knew he was pretty tired.  I had no idea exactly how tired he was until we got in the car to finally drive home.  Wm has not fallen asleep in the car in YEARS.  He HATES sleeping in the car and will fight it off for everything he's worth.  But...he was no match for his exhaustion this time.  And he was out like a light.  But, as soon as we pulled into the driveway, he woke up and goes, "can I get a Lego set from Target?"  Um...NO.
