Avery and Emerson had their first camping trip with the Daisies planned for weeks and Stefanie drew the short straw to chaperone.   As soon as Harper found out that she and daddy would be by ourselves that night she starting planning our ‘Date Night.’   Like most things with our family – it all revolved around food.  She wanted (demanded) that I make her favorite macaroni and cheese – Kraft Mac & Cheese and that we have a donut for breakfast.

I decided to spice it up a little bit and actually take her to 7-11 to get her first slurpee, and I found myself giving her a tour of the place like it was an Open House.  It reminded me of all the times I had gone in to 7-11 with my own mom and dad as a kid (we did it all the time). We had a to do a few errands after that, but she proudly drank her slurpee everywhere we went.   When I showed her the spoon at the end of the straw – you would have thought I had dropped a unicorn in her lap, she was super shocked and excited.

The only time we eat in front of the TV is for the Super Bowl, but I made an exception to eat our Kraft Mac & Cheese in there while watching Despicable Me 3!!

Ms. Harper was getting so tired, we moved the show upstairs so we were closer to bed.  She had asked to sleep with me as much as I hate doing it – I let her.  Letting her sleep in my bed meant that for most of the night,  I would be basically on top of my night stand as she takes up the whole bed.

After breakfast she helped me make granola before riding her bike up and down the street in her pajamas.  I can confidently say that even with all the anticipation – I think she had a great time!!
