What Do Ya Do...

...when Daddy is out of town for the weekend?!? For starters, you turn off Daddy's alarm clock so everyone will sleep late (check!) & then you take your time getting ready to head to TOYS R US where your son finds VERY difficult to find new CARS for himself & his best buddies down the street! Then it's off to Chili's for lunch with your kiddos, mom, sister & nephew (new CARS are opened and are the perfect 'occupier' while above said son waits IMpatiently for his lunch!). You enjoy a D-lish lunch because you are a HUGE fan of chain restaurants such as Chili's (for real)! Then you head to Target for Haddie Girl's turn for a treat (new Dora DVD of course!). Now it's back home for a NAP.

Okay, Daddy's still out of town...what do you do next?!? Head to Dairy Queen ~ ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Then to PETCO (Walker's choice) where I assure him if he can find a FREE chocolate lab puppy that doesn't POOP, we will FOR SURE get it. Walk a little ways down, and it's Mommy choice: Old Navy where I find the perfect dress for vacation that matches my darling turquoise flip flops that match nothing. Who is left?!? Well, sweet Haddie Girl of course (the adorable $4.99 rain boots we found at Old Navy didn't count) so she (well, BUBBA in her honor) decides upon Books A Million for our final destination. Walker plays trains, Hadlee reads books and I meet a new friend. Finally, back home to play with some neighbors outside and then talk Hadlee into wearing a PRINCESS night gown for the first time (she is so faithful or rather obsessed with Dora so this is a good thing!).

It came with a magic WAND...how could she turn that down?!?


And a shot of the Super Hero who helped me talk the Princess into the new gown...


When you can't have Daddy home on the weekend, thank Goodness for Toys R Us, Chili's, Target, PETCO, Old Navy, & Books A Million. This will surely teach Daddy not to leave us again on the weekend.

TWO DISCLAIMERS:
1. In Daddy's defense, he was out of town taking care of his grandma. You could search the whole world over and never find a better grandson than Troy.
2. This post would have been SO much better had I taken my camera with us all day!!!

How stinkin' cute! You sound EXACTLY like me when Daddy is away. Although I do it when Daddy isn't away too. ;) Glad you and the kids had fun. Hadlee Girl looks cute in her new night gown and your Super Hero is tooo funny! He reminds me of Mason.
