Even though we are pretty bored today, it has been a busy, fun two weeks! We kicked off last weekend with my school celebrating Grandparent's Day at my school. Grandpa Vern put on his fancy shirt and managed to get to our house at 7:15 (!) in the morning to take me to school. We spent the morning hanging out at my school and in my classroom. Mom apologized to my teacher ahead of time for whatever havoc Grandpa and I may have wrecked to we were good to go for the day!
The reason Grandpa had to take me to school was because mom was heading out on a Girl's Weekend to Palm Springs, CA. The in-laws of one the girls has a condo in Palm Spring and let them take it over for the weekend. It was a fun weekend with naps even on Saturday afternoon. The nap was much needed because the ladies headed out for a night of dancing and didn't get to bed until 2AM. Mom is still recovering from that one and everyone decided once a year may even be too much for those types of shenanigans. Yawn.....
While mom was away at her girl's weekend, I was having one of my own. My friend Ella had her birthday party. Her favorite movie is Mama Mia and the musical happened to be making its last ever show in Tucson so her parents surprised her by taking us all to see it and then having us sleep over. It was a super fun night for us.
Meanwhile, dad was enjoying having the house all to himself. He claims all he did was watch a movie and eat Trader Joe's chicken fried rice but we think he probably thoroughly enjoyed it.
This week has been kind of long and dragging and I'm sure it has nothing to do with lack of sleep the prior weekend.....
Mom did get a surprise in the mail this week when her Cleveland based friend sent her this awesome t-shirt. Go Tribe!
On Friday, we found a new restaurant that may become our new favorite. It is a pizza place, with good beer and close to home. It reminds us of Perry's Pizza in Denver which was our favorite hang-out. Bear Canyon Pizza just opened last week so there were still some bugs to work out, like waiting over an hour for our pizza but once I got over the dramatics of being so hungry I could die, it all worked out OK.
On Sunday, we put the final touches on our Halloween set up. We now have four new additions to our family. Meet Winston, Maverick, McCoy and the cat Bella Baguette. We also have a zombie we named Abigail but she scares us so she stays outside. You can see our dining room as you come up to the door and we have it lit with black light so it should be pretty cool!
Now, it's time to go carve our pumpkins- hope you have a great week!
