Today was Free Comic Book Day. Each year I usually take the kids with me and they get dressed up and have a good time. This year it was just me because the kids and Allison were at a First Communion in New Hampshire.
I had gotten home after the gym and it was about 9am. I was pretty tired and debated getting sleep and then going to the event which started at 10am. I am pretty sure I would have slept the day away so I headed over and waited in my car till Wild Time Comics opened. When it did I zipped in and got my comics, the free ones and some I bought plus a Captain America Crayon Tin. If I had seen that earlier I would have included that in the cease fire box that I sent to Andrew at Mommy’s Busy. I bet he would have liked that.
After comics I passed out hard. I made it though one half of the free Civil War II comic and that was that. Slept right till five. Good sleeping day. Glad I decided to go when I did.

It certainly gets tougher each year that I work on the weekend overnight shift but I do make sure to stay up and bring the kids to this very fun day. I love that Eva gets so excited by it. Andrew is going to need a year or two to really care. All he wanted to do this year was wriggle out of everyone’s hands and refuse to cooperate for any photos. Sadly, we were running through everything so quickly that we didn’t get a family photo at the event. I didn’t even get the kids in the same shot. But overall we had fun.
I got home from work and helped Eva decide what costume she was going to wear. She had her whole dress up bucket scattered on her floor as she decided on that exact costume. She had talked about being a warrior princess fairy but then changed her mind and became a Warrior Witch. She wore her Halloween costume and took along the shiny broom. She had said that she wanted her sword but decided against it. We took it anyway for photos. Continue reading Free Comic Book Day 2014→
