daddy day

there were so many freebies for kids this weekend that i wrote them all out, packed a diaper bag with diapers, snacks, and waters, and sent madelyn and mason out with daddy!  he kept them out for around 5 hours which gave me a mental break and let me get lots done around the house.

first stop was lowe's for building race cars.  i guess they stopped by the door selection to pick a door for our potential new house - of course madelyn picked a red door.  i guess mason only wore the goggles for the picture and didn't bother to build his car.

other stops on their fun day together were target (for a dr.seuss story time - they made it just in time for cake), sams club (some shopping), michaels (for a science kit demo that just didn't work), and by the builder's model home to pick up plans for our house.  they were going to stop by borders for elmo's birthday party, but just ran out of time. 

they had to hurry home so that they could get maddux and me before we headed to matt's boss' house for dinner.  we left an hour and a half before we needed to be there because we needed to stop and pick up some chick-fil-a for the kids' dinner and flowers for his boss.  for some reason the navigation took us to a chick-fil-a in a hospital.  so we tried again.  this time it took us to a location in a mall.  since we were now starting to run late (and matt was going to have a heart attack if we were late), matt ran into the mall's food court to get the kids' food and called his boss to let her know that we were going to be late. 

we ended up being a half hour late (yes, it took us two hours to get there), but the evening was wonderful.  they have a dog that loves to play fetch and we have a boy who loves to throw.  and they had enough toys from their kids (now 26 and 23) that madelyn was entertained.  i enjoyed finally meeting someone from the hospital!  once we are settled into a house, we will return the invitation.  love.
