what a great day spent today!

yes, i can truly say that much. i didn't spent time in the gym as i've earlier planned ... i let Alexander decide what we'd to for the rest of the day. and mind you, his plan turned out to be a wonderful idea.

we walked for more than 6 kilometers - from our house, through the forest woods and then off to its nearest shopping centre! and we actually had great fun ... he blabbered endlessly during our walk - he told me of stories he read from a book, we sang songs, we screamed our guts out during the walk through the woods (we know no one would hear us), we raced up and down the hill, even try to scare each other at the slightest eerie sound we hear in the woods (he told me of what we'd do if we see deers and bears - "play dead, mom!") - oh, the things we did were great fun ... we're simply "twosome, awesome"!

arriving at the shopping centre, we decided to take a hamburger (i can imagine he got very hungry after that walk) and we went around the toys and game shops. and you know what that meant ... yup, we ended up buying game discs for his Wii and Nintendo consoles. while at it, i insisted on getting him some new winter gear, extra trousers and shirts - he's grown so fast that most of his gear from last year don't fit him anymore. and he's really tall for his age!

lugging quite a lot of shopping bags, i was not really up for the 6 kilometer walk back home - so, we agreed to take the bus. he was just as bubbly on our way home - talking incessantly of what he'll do when we get home and humming his favourite tunes until we reached our final stop. as he jumped off the bus, he simply dashed off the sidewalk in half sprints - too eager to get home.

as i unload the stuffs we bought on the kitchen table, alexander just grabbed his discs and off he went to play. well, this is pretty much another day we spent with each other. when my hubby came home, alexander did a full account of what we've done and where we've been during the day - afterwhich both boys immersed themselves in the world of Wii. that's our day, folks!
