Mom and Dad's Day Out!

On Saturday, Tucker went to a birthday party with Gram so we were toddler free for a couple of hours. We've known for a 2 or 3 weeks that this day was coming so we started to dream about what we'd do during these few precious hours. Maybe we'd go to a movie or maybe stay at home and tackle a few projects we can never seem to finish.


As 12:30 (party time) approached, we all had baths and dressed in our nice "I have something to do" clothes. I even fixed my hair and put on make-up! This is a pretty big deal since most Saturdays are spent cleaning, laying on the couch, running errands and keeping Tucker away from the dogs. Rarely is there a bath involved and never hair and make-up!


Tucker was out the door with Gram and Tink and there we were - Mama and Daddy were now Jenny and Alec. Weird. And quiet - so quiet.




So what did we do during these magical hours we had alone?
1. Lunch at Asahi (only cooked sushi for this this mama in a delicate condition).
2. Ice cream at Sonic.
3. Naps.


I'm not much of a napper - too many things running through my head - but Alec is a great napper!


After 2 hours, Alec called Gram and Tink...uhm...when's Tucker coming home? Well he was swimming and eating watermelon and having a grand old time so...not anytime soon.


So we watched TV then called again...uhm...we miss Tucker. He's on his way!


Talk about ants in the pants! We sat and waited and waited. The 20 minute drive seemed to take FOREVER! I looked out the window about a thousand times and suggested we start walking in the direction of Alec's parents house so we can just meet Tucker on the road.




Finally, he was home!



And after Alec's parents left, we sat on the couch watching Tucker torment Lucy, Mango licking Tucker's head and Berman barking for someone to play with him and I smiled. This chaos is our life. And I love it!


What adventures will this day hold for us?
