The Gun Show

May 23rd, 2010

I’m sharing this today because it made me laugh.

I took the boys on Saturday morning to go shopping.  We had three places to stop before we circled back home.  By the time we were at the third place, which was the grocery store, they were bored and hot and twitchy.

It was a good day though.  The first place we stopped, the boys got to watch Mama do a little charm magic by manifesting a seriously close parking spot because it was raining buckets!  They are always SO impressed with that! _giggle_ Then they watched a little more charm magic when we couldn’t find an alarm clock in the store.  I grinned and spoke my charm and within seconds I knew exactly where they were, and off we went amid the awed giggles and whispers.

When we left there for the second store, I charmed us another parking spot because Michael was in back talking coincidence at me.  We were backing into our SECOND perfect parking spot and an old man went flying by, standing on the rail of his grocery cart, just letting his bald spot blow in the breeze wearing a childlike, elated smile as he zipped past.  I couldn’t help by grin at his display of enjoyment, and he looked up, right at me and saw me grinning at him and he smiled back unabashedly.

After a super fast turn through store #2, I pulled up to the traffic light outside of Giant Eagle and was waiting to turn and I hear Michael say, “Eddie, look… gun show!” and we all looked to the side to see yellow signs pointing the way to a gun show that was apparently going on nearby.  We all three grinned as both boys suddenly lifted their arms in a bodybuilder’s pose to give me THEIR “gun show.”

Without missing a beat, I turned the OTHER direction and circled around to the sign in a fit of giggles.  Michael was far too embarrassed to get out in the middle of traffic for a picture.  Eddie and I had no qualms though, and we both piled out of the van and ran over in front of probably 50 people at the busy intersection, and took the following picture.

So that was the finale to our shopping excursion Saturday. I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!
My affirmation for today is~ All of my life is meaningful.
