Here are my two adorable kids. They have been absolute troopers this past week since Daddy was at a theater conference in Fort Worth, TX. They got to spend the week doing things with Mommy. Most of the week was our normal schedule, with Owen going to school, MayLynn helping Mommy around the house, and piano lessons in the afternoons. But we did have two special outings this week that helped make it a little more fun, and made the evenings without Daddy not quite as hard.
On Tuesday evening, our local Chick-Fil-A restaurant was having a super-hero night. They had a fire truck, ambulance, and police car for the kids to see and they also got to dress up. Owen was once again Captain America - his favorite super hero - and MayLynn was a very cute little fairy - the only costume I can get her to wear. We had a nice little dinner and the kids got to play in the indoor playground for a little bit before it was time to call it a night.
On Friday evening, to reward the kids for being good this past week, we went to the mall - specifically to the Lego Store. I had a couple of promotions left over from Christmas, so Owen was able to get a box of Lego pieces and MayLynn was able to get a small set with a couple of fun new pieces. We also tried out California Pizza Kitchen for dinner (not quite as good as I had hoped, but it was okay for a dinner with the kids). When we got home, the kids got to try out their new Legos.
And now, in just a few hours we will be able to pick up Daddy from the airport and hopefully life will return to some semblance of normal. We're still going to be busy as we work on packing, cleaning, and getting ready to move, but Daddy will be home and that makes all the difference.
