happy weekend

I really love this picture. I can actually feel happiness breezing out of the it.
Can you see the excitement in my eyes? Snoopy seems mucho comfy in mommy’s lap, organizing his wealth.

Here’s how the story goes.
Mommy hasn’t been around lately. I think she’s trying to make something happen during the summer and dealing with grandpoppi who’s visiting her. We were all excited to hear that mommy was planning to come over on Saturday! On top of that, mommy and Bobby decided to spend the weekend with us (Yuppie!!). They went to the humongous toy store across the street and bought a new board game (something called Monopoly..) and thought us how to play!
The new friends (a snow leopard and a baby polar bear) were too shy to participate, Barbara was too cool for a board game, and Toro was taking his nap. So it ended up with me and Bobby (kindda as a team) and Snoopy and mommy as a team.

It was my first time to actually play a game so I guess I was too hyper and excited to manage my money strategically. I was leading the game at first.. and then Boom! I was the first to leave. Snoopy was asleep half of the time, locked up in prison for three turns, but still managed to vacuum up everyone’s money at the end. (I overheard Bobby telling mommy that Snoopy’s an experienced player! no wonder he had a relaxed smile on his face during the whole game!)

Anyway, aside of all that, the good thing is, I think I’m a determined, driven, smart, super-ambitious donkey who knows how to learn from the past. I asked Bobby if we could play one more game the next day and I kicked every body’s behind left and right by setting a new record!!

This game really boosts my self confidence!

* side note: I’ve mastered my alphabets, and I was practicing writing out Bobby’s name. It’s amazing how Bobby is consisted of 3 B’s, and yet it sounds so friendly and cute. (same with you, mommy)

… and then I got my ass kicked…
