Sleepover, Arcade Games, and Comic Books

With Danica having to get up very early for a scholastic event on the other side of Ottawa on Saturday morning, we offered to have Jonathan for another sleepover.

Somehow, along the way, he had become 3 sleepovers behind Danica, so it was still makeup time anyway. We had made up 2 nights just 2 weekends ago, and now the kids could be even steven as they say.

On both Friday evening and Saturday morning, he spent a lot of time on my chair and I snapped various of his positions.

More often than not, he was using my phone, but he also purchased a little Atari game which was set up as a mini arcade. It's in one of the images above, but here it is repeated; he is playing on the game while also watching a video of some sort on my phone.

Saturday morning dawned fair after a horrendously windy night in which we miraculously didn't lose power although 200,000 homes in Ottawa did, so the weather was perfect for a stroll downtown on Free Comic Book Day.

We made various stops, including one at the library where they lined him up for a picture which they later posted on FB, and I snapped one too.

But then he met up with friends and soon left grandma and grampa behind. He was across the street already in the next picture, and Sue and I decided to go the other way and sit and wait in a coffee shop.

Sue, however, just had to have her picture taken with this magnificent Transformer character.

Eventually, we got together again, and after a light lunch out, JJ spread out his trophies on the coffee table at home.

He is playing one of his two new arcade games while the other sits on the table with all of the comics that he collected.

A n d . . . two that originally got lost in the shuffle. The explanation for my pose in the second shot is that we are beside a superman display.
