We give mom one night off from her parental/family duties and she completely forgets everything. Which is how we end up 2 days late in our post this week.
We had a good week for the most part. Mom is forced to get the flu shot now for work. She grudgingly succumbed to the pressure because she does like her pay check and got the shot on Thursday. She spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday feeling kind of yucky, thank you very much. Good thing dad and I got to leave but more on that later.
Friday night was my night to pick where we eat. I picked the steak place near our house and mowed down a Lil' Cowboy t-bone and a root beer. Then we walked over to the mini golf place next door for a round of 18 holes. I'm definitely improving (or else dad is getting worse) and we all came out pretty close in score with no temper tantrums this time. It was a beautiful night and we had a great time.
Everyone slept in Saturday morning but then dad and I headed up to Mt. Lemmon with our friend Brian and his daughter. We all spent the night at our friend Joe's cabin with Joe and his daughter. It was tons of daddy fun!

We got to eat lots and lots of junk food because the dads shopped for us too. We all know if the mom's had any say in the matter, we would have been eating carrots and oatmeal. Thank goodness they had no say!
After fueling up on cookies, we all headed out for a hike. I made BINGO cards for all the girls to use on the hike. We had to find things like rocks, minnows, pine needles etc. They were actually kind of a hit. There was a candy prize for the first person to get BINGO and wonder of wonders! I won! Uncle Brian thinks it was rigged......
We also found a half empty creek which had just enough water in it to make a mess and find bugs.
We came back, had a great dinner of hot dogs and s'mores and wrapped the evening up with a crazy game of Candy Land. Everyone was in bed nice and early which is a good thing because I was up and ready to go for more at 5:45 the next morning.
It was awesome fun and we hope to do it again.
Mom took full advantage of her down time and got a bunch of shopping done that she had put off. She rounded out the evening with a huge slice of carrot cake, a big beer and a bad chick flick.
On Sunday morning, she got to head out for a great hike (to burn off the carrot cake) and still had time to read the paper when she got home.
We spent the rest of the day laying low and getting ready for the busy week. I told mom I was tired of having something to do every night after school so we'll see how much long this lasts!
Have a great week!
