Day 5 Aug. 16th

This morning, Dylan was acting more autistic than usual. He was in a hitting mood. First he asked for macaroni, for breakfast. When he was denied he asked for chips. When he was denied again he went up to his room crying. When my mom tried to comfort him, and get him dressed he refused to wear pants unless they were red. Anyway, this weekend my mom says she just wants to take it easy, so that means no subway, but we still wanted to explore the neighborhood, so after breakfast, at around 11 30, we treked out to explore the area. (I put on my Chelsea soccer shirt, to represent.) We walked around for a while, and found a place that sold peanut butter (peanut butter is not to common around here) Then we decided to get sandwhiches and eat at the park. So we stocked up and headed there. The park is actually only about 10 minutes or so from our apartment, which is very conveniant. While we were eating there Mom offered Dylan a peanut butter sandwhich. Dylan took one bite, and then spit it into my mom's hand. My mom immediately threw it over her back, and almost immediately, at least 2 dozen birds, swarmed over our heads. It was very intense, and there was much screaming coming from my mom. After that we were careful not to drop anything. The kids played for about 30 minutes before we headed on. We headed on to the mainstreet, and saw a game shop, then another, then another, then another. Chloe and I counted at least 8 gaming stores, on just 3 blocks. We headed into most of them, I was looking for a psp charger cord, since my american one is kind of deffective. I didn't find one under 10 euros, but i found something better, a usb cable that i could use to plug it into my computer. After that we continued on, and found a place to get ice cream (we've been eating a lot of that lately.) It was okay, but Dylan's strawberry ice cream did not look natural at all. We saw a GoSport, and remembered we needed some ping-pong paddles and balls, and went in and got some, so i can check that off my mental list. We went to the next store over some kind of furniture store, cause we needed some stuff i guess, we ended up with a salt and pepper shaker, and an alarm clock. The guy who bagged our stuff, spoke to my parents with a really funny British accent. Apparently, they teach people British English here, and not American English, which makes sense, and it also makes it more fun to try to talk to people here. After that we decided we wanted to go home on the way i saw a wi fi spot, which reminded me i wanted to try to get on the internet soon. We will be getting it soon i hope, but i can't go long with out it. Right now i'm just putting all of this on a word pad document so no one can actually see it, but once i get on the internet, it'll go on. Anyway, we got home, and again mom and dad went out to leave me with the kids, which i'm fine with, but i'm just sayin. So they went to get a coffee, and i stayed with the kids. After about an hour and a half or so they came back, and again we had pasta. After dinner I had some gummi bear vitamins, not really because i'm concerned about my vitamin intake, but i like gummi bears. After dinner we all rested with some quality french tv.
