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.
ReplyDeleteWe SO need copies of those party plans when T.O. goes out of town! You guys are so much fun!! What would we do without those crazy kiddos mixing it up and keeping Momma laughing non stop?! Too much! Summer lovin!! It applies to all fun stuff like this!!
