A boring recap of my boring weekend
Boring is kind of nice, though.
On Saturday we didn't do much. We went to K-Mart to get food for the kid and to see if we could get Mike's hair cut at the Cost Cutters in the strip mall (alas, the line was too long). Then in the afternoon I went to Confession while Mike and P waited around for Mass to start.
If you aren't Catholic just take my word for it...Confession is a weird experience. Not many people do Confession on a regular basis, so while you wait around for your turn in the Confessional you just look around and wonder what everyone else did that was bad enough to make them feel the need to confess. At least, that's what I do. I suppose I'm supposed to be sitting quietly, meditating and making my soul ready to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. Instead I'm just wondering what everyone else is in for.
Afterward we attended Mass. I like going to Mass on Saturday evening. We had the crying room all to ourselves except for one other family who had kids that were way rowdier than P. That made me feel good. Unfortunately P kept going over to the windows to the crying room, looking out, and saying "DAA DAA DAA YAA YAA" really loudly. I hope the crying room is more soundproofed than it looks.
Today was beautiful so we took a walk downtown.
There's a big Civil War monument downtown. There aren't very many Civil War monuments in Wisconsin. I remember years ago when I visited Atlanta, it seemed like very other building was a historical Civil War site. Wisconsin has relatively few. This one was impressively tall, though.
I like the sign on this building. In case you can't tell, the circle on the left is a globe, and the circle on the right is a picture of a cruise ship.
This was on the side of a building built in 1924. It had seals for all the wars. This one says, "The Great War for Civilization, 1917." They mean World War I. They probably never thought there would be a second war that large.
Little P slept through most of our walk.
Later on the weather was still so beautiful that we took a walk around our neighborhood. When we came back we found this bird sitting on the roof of our apartment building.
I think it's a hawk, but I'm not sure. I sent photos to my mom for confirmation.
All in all, it was a nice weekend.

It's a hawk; you can tell by the shape of the beak. Probably a red tailed hawk but I couldn't tell for sure. Little P has beautiful eyelashes.

That's not a hawk. It's a chicken. Wisconsin grows mutant chickens, and that one has almost learned to swoop down from the rooftops and devour those who fail to properly prepare themselves for the airborne chicken attack. Beware!
