The Afternoon sleepover & Ice cream

Ok, so here's the story behind this. It's after school today when Austin, yes, AUSTIN says, "I'm going upstairs and taking a nap. I'm tired." What.. is this my kid or did he get switched at school. Kain and I were not going to let him go at this alone.. so we followed him up to his room. He Was joking of coarse so we made the best of it and had a "sleepover". He said he wanted to see what it would be like to have Kain sleep in his room. Kain never laid down for a minute, I don't think Austin thought it was going to be so tough.

Austin is not really sleeping. He's faking it. Don't let the pictures fool ya.

Where's Austin? Kain can't find him

Doesn't he look like he's guilty of something???

Still looking........

"it wasn't me"

"I'm right here"

SURPRISE!

"I'm right here Kain"

Tonight we had ice cream cones after dinner. Austin's fav... "sour ice-cream" (Rainbow sherbet)

Kain likes the cone, no ice cream.

Ummm.. making a little mess there, Kain. I think some caught him in the eye.

Smash, Smash, Smash

YUM!

FUN DAY!

The "Gamers"

After visiting Eric's office, Austin came home with a Wii Racing Game.. So of coarse they had to try it out... Look at them.. Like two peas in a pod.

I don't even think they knew I was taking pix of them-they were so into this game. I think a little bit "too into" the game.

So the game is put away for the time being. It ONLY comes out on Sunday. Sunday is our "Fun-day" (Sunday night that is)

A Day in the life of......DAD!

Today, in the life of a 3 year old was "the best day ever" He claims he wants to "live" at work with dad. (HA HA HA)

Today we went to go visit dad at the office, Check it out, eat lunch and PLAY in the game room. Austin's "DREAM" room. He was like a kid in a toy store. He was SO SO Excited to go see where his dad works.

Welcome to EA! (one of the coolest offices I've ever seen) and I've been to a lot of companies.

Here we go:EA Main Lobby. The lobby has a Wii, Playstation and Xbox. And to the right of this picture is the EA Store. (more about that later)

Wii, Playstation and Xbox

The Arcade Room. Austin and Kain's favorite (because of the lights and noise) was the Spider man pin-ball machine.

Austin was a rock star. Somehow.. he knew how to play every game in here!

He was SO Excited!!!

Austin sat in Eric's Chair. In between the two desks is a Xbox so Eric and his office mate can test the games out. How lucky! What's the saying, "all play and no work" yeah right!!

Outside by the grill are lawn chairs. Austin and Kain really liked hanging out on these while waiting on our lunch.

This is the courtyard between the two EA Buildings. Austin was throwing rocks in the pond.

EA also has a soccer field, Beach Volleyball and basketball court.

It's so cool to see it lined with the Palm Trees.

Even Kain had fun in the arcade. Although he did not get to play with the big boy toys, he did like the pool table balls. (and he couldn't get them in his mouth)

Austin was on top of his game!

Kain tried to play..... but really enjoyed watching Austin get the machines to make noise and light up!

The EA folks come in here to relax.....

And.. we couldn't leave without stopping in the EA store which has just about any game you could want, clothes and misc. things. Austin got a new Wii racing game.

We had so much fun visiting dad! Austin says he "wishes he could work here"........... I don't think he quite realizes that it's not all fun and games.... (ha ha).
