Random Pinterest picture in honor of Canada Day today
Friday night we babysat our friend’s little boy and took the kids to Scott’s mom’s for the night. Saturday morning we both decided to sleep in, something we almost never do anymore. We then had to rush to get on the ball to get Emma to a birthday party at Carowinds. Fun story.
We lost our passes a few weeks back so I decided to go first thing Saturday to get them to print a temporary pass for her. The line was so long as it was Bring a Friend day AND Scarowinds. I finally made it through and the lady would not give me a pass for her since Emma wasn’t there. I tried to reason with her but to no avail. I walked away aggravated at the lack of customer service. I understand why they wouldn’t but it still caused extra work for me when the whole point of me going early was to get ahead. Anyway, we went straight to get Emma and go back to Carowinds. We then had one hour to get the passes, get all the girls lunch and still buy and wrap a present. Clearly, I should have done that much earlier. Anyway, we swung through the Wendy’s line just outside Carowinds and then Emma and I went in to get her ticket. Thankfully, the line had completely cleared out and we got the ticket within a few minutes. The girls finished eating their lunch in the car and then Emma and I ran through Walmart. Fastest decision making by Emma EVER. We then realized she didn’t have tennis shoes on so we had to stop in at the house. On the way to the house, I was looking for the ticket and suddenly could not find it. I remembered that Scott had it in his hand just before I went into Walmart so we started looking everywhere. Then Scott says, “Oh yeah, I think I threw it in the Wendy’s bag.” WITH THE TRASH. And he almost had Lexi throw the whole bag away when we were in Walmart. Holy cow. We made it home with the ticket and I took the two minutes to wrap the present in the bag and Emma grabbed her shoes. We made it to the party right on time. Geezorama. I was ready for a nap after that.
So the rest of the afternoon, Lexi played with my niece and I did laundry, worked on my eBook, etc. We stayed in for the evening as well and capped off the night watching a Scooby Doo movie.
Sunday was another easy going day. We had our friend’s son for the day again and the girls stayed super busy with him. We stayed in for dinner and once again, watched the same exact Scooby Doo movie to finish out the night. Exciting times, I tell ya.
Overall a great weekend. I hope yours was great and your week is off to a great start!
