Some days you wake up and you have no idea what’s in stored, or that pleasant surprises are just waiting for you to enjoy them 🙂 Last sunday, was SuperBowl weekend and one of those fun-filled days!
The day started off great with my amazing swimming class. Splishing-splashing in the water drains my energy out (and mom’s too), and I always look forward to the yummy snacks that I get to eat afterwards. It’s always better when dad prepares them cuz he’s way more generous than mom (Triscuit crackers, cheerios and dried fruit is pretty much the standard, but this week dad added something new – sesame sticks and some sweet cookies too!)
Then dim sum with Gong Gong (grandpa) is always a treat…as you can see anything related to food is the way to my heart 🙂
Since we were all having so much fun, I even got the opportunity to skip my afternoon nap. I HATE going to bed, what a waste of time. There is always something more fun to do than going to sleep…even if I’m totally exhausted. Today was great cuz I did not even have to fight and nag my way out of nap time. Mom & dad must have simply forgotten that I normally have a nap scheduled in the afternoon. I got to run around and chase mom & dad around through aisles with really big TV screens, some little black and silver boxes with smaller screens, and through men dressed in some boring uniform of black polo shirts with “Future Shop” written and beige pants.
Following all that running around, we took a ride to our friend C’s new place and I got to play with her cat, “Meru”. I even got to feed him little ‘snacks’ directly to his mouth. Speaking of snacks, I got to try this new thing called “Popcone” which are these small crunchy balls. Mom and dad had this huge bowl which I got to pick from… at first. But then, they decided to give me my own small bowl, so I did not have to share with them. There were orange ones that were salty and turned my fingers orange, but I much preferred the brown ‘cawamel’ sweet-flavoured ones.
We never get to this at home, but as I was snacking away on my ‘Popcone’, mom and dad were watching the Big TV and kept screaming at this men dressed in red. They were skating really fast, and it was so amazing cuz they never fall. Mom told me they were playing ‘Haw-Kay’ and that the red men were nice and that the white men were bad, so also started screaming at the TV.
Mom decided that i needed to take a break from all my snacking, so we started dancing along to this fun music that C decided to play for us. It was great cuz as the music was playing, there was this funny looking man on her big-screen TV who was also dancing and saying the words ‘Gangnyam Sty’. I loved it so much that I think we listened to it at least 5 times in a row! I love to dance.
Then I was drained and needed some energy, so more ‘popcone’…Mom and dad didn’t see, but I was able to sneak a few extra ones by asking C in a my sweetest and most charming tone and she could not resist… Yes! Mom then hid the bowl and started giving me carrot sticks, cucumbers and peppers, which I also love…especially when there is ‘Dip’!!! Yummy!
Later on more friends came to join us and we got to eat some more while watching some other men running after a brown ball, called “Football” I was too busy eating to really watch what was going on between the men with helmets chasing the ball, but I always love eating with other people around…it’s like going to a party!
For dessert, instead of fruits, I got to try these crunchy squares that dad made in the morning. They’re called ‘Lice Klispys’…they’re the best. I easily got away with two squares, but then as I attempted to get my hands on a third, I was told it was time to leave 😦
It was way passed my bedtime, and I did not want to go to bed but I could not complain too much since I had an amazing day filled with fun and lots of Snacks!! I resisted a little bit, cuz that’s part of the bedtime routine afterall, but I did not really try to hard. I was really hoping that when I would wake up the next morning, it would be SuperBowl day all over again, and every day after that!!
