Friday morning we woke up without much to do,
so we decided to follow through on some
long-standing plans we've had to babysit two of Roy's
nieces for the night.
We picked them up at 3 and I did some quick
research on my phone to try and figure out
what the heck to do with 'em now that we had them!
So off to Crown Center we went, to a free
childrens play exhibit they have open this month.
But first, we had to stop at every bathroom between
Olathe and downtown..
McDonalds bathroom, Quicktrip bathroom,
and Boston Market Bathroom.
I'm halfway convinced that they were just getting a kick
out of watching Aunt & Uncle panic that they were
going to pee in my car!!
But, finally we got to our destination and
they seemed to have a blast, and bonus- it was free
so I was happy!
Roy and I pretty quickly sprung into overprotective
aunt and uncle mode...we were like hawks watching them
while they played
Roy kept going and standing by the entrance
'Just in case someone tries to take them..'
hehe...cute.
I must say...in my very limited child rearing
experience of 1 day-which makes me like, an expert I'm sure...
I am UBER annoyed by
parents who let their children run helter skelter
wreaking havoc and hogging swings and toys!!
Hey! Get off your freaking phone and come get your
spoiled brat who just ripped the rope swing out
of my nieces hands!!
Ugh...new pet peeve.
After we were all played out, we headed to Fritz's
for some overpriced and mediocre kid friendly
dinner :) Roy and I each had a
burger and when it was all said and done,
we also had the girls' chicken nuggets that they ate
about two bites of...haha.
Amateur caregiver move-don't let your kids
drink giant glasses of chocolate milk before their
dinner comes...duh.
I was nervous about bedtime, but it actually
went really well. We pulled our air mattress
into our bedroom, and after some TV time,
a bit of coloring and a bedtime snack,
we had two very sleepy little girls!
Here are a just a very few pictures I caught...
(PS..how do parents EVER take any pictures
of their kids?? I barely had a spare second to
pull out my phone-much less a camera!)
At Fritz's
Elissa sporting her conductors hat
lol..this makes me laugh..
Uncle Roy sporting his conductors hat
Early morning monkey business
Overall I'd say it was a success...
and it is always so endearing for me
to see Roy in uncle-action.
I feel like we worked really well together
as a team, and I can't help but to get
excited for one day when it's our own
little ones that we're wrangling..
Saturday night we headed out to The Legends
for one of my oldest friends birthday dinner.
I was so excited (and somewhat shocked)
that Roy actually wanted to come with...
He tends to shy away from joining me at things
when he's not going to know many people,
but I think since these were some of my friends
that he knows from 'back in the day'...
(yes I'm old and I just said 'back in the day..')
he felt a little more comfortable coming along,
and I was so glad to have him there!
Here's the only picture I have from dinner:
I can't believe I've known these girls
for 12 years!!
I'm not the greatest at staying in touch with
people, so that fact that we've all stayed
friends over the years means a lot to me.
It was a fun night, and a great weekend.
Now just two nights of work and then we
leave on Wednesday for San Diego!!
Yippee!!
2 days and counting...
