Mini Golfing with Mini Kids

Good evening everyone (or morning depends on when you read this). I'm pretty sure this was the first time since Spring started that we had a consistent week of amazing weather which makes it easier for the diva to pick out clothes. She's closing in on her final weeks at Smarty Pants which is pretty bitter/sweet for us. She's made so many amazing friends and has learned so much there, plus the parents and teachers she's had have been outstanding and friendly with Jill and myself. Wednesday, Mia had a photoshoot at Jill's studio for her Mommy and Mia vintage photo session. After class, I had to get Mia to the hair salon and get her hair made up to look like a 1950's kid. She sat still as a statute with very little to say. Mostly watching Tangled from time to time. After that, we jetted to the studio where we discovered her Grandpa Chicago and Grandma MissyShell hoping to watch the session. Mia for some reason, was crabby and in no mood to participate in the session. She certainly didn't want an audience either. It was pretty frustrating considering the fact that Jill was really looking forward to the photo session. 

Later, we went to Stone Fire Pizza for dinner. We had made plans to meet with BFF Olivia but her orientation for Kindergarten ran a bit late and she couldn't make it. Mia kept looking for her throughout the evening. Friday, Mia and I drove down to Bay View for my tattoo consultation. We met at a Colectivo and discussed my Hawaiian 1/2 sleeve. The artist did a rough drawing of it as we talked about the different elements, and he even bought Mia a smoothie :) It was remarkable to see him work like that in front of me. My last tattoo, I had just dropped off the reference art, paid the deposit and that was that till my appointment. I'm super amped to get this started and from what he was sketching out, I think it's going to be incredible. When we were done, Mia gave him a knuckle pound and we were on our way. I hope she can come to one of my sessions and can sit and watch for 4 hours :P 

Saturday, we did some yard work and made the most of the nice day. Later, Mia went to her friend from school Trey's 5th birthday party at a mini golf course. She came downstairs from getting ready in this really nice dress and looks at me and says "What? It's a party, I should wear a party dress". The majority of her class attended (with the exception of Izzy, Alexa, Olivia and Nakkita. The kids had a blast. They didn't really follow the rules of mini golf, but they certainly enjoyed themselves for 18 holes. The driving range looked really nice so I may have to take my Dad there sometime. After wards, we stopped at Qdoba for dinner and spent the rest of the night together watching a Barbie musical before bed time...fun. The Milwaukee Torrent had their first league match against the Minnesota TwinStars. They won their first away game. I wish I could have came. They had about 40 supporters drive up and cheer them on. I can't wait till their first home game in a few weeks. It's going to be so much fun. 

Today, we did some laundry and visited my parents since it was there anniversary before I went to work. We surprised them with a french silk pie from Baker's Square. 

This week Mia has her kindergarten orientation, I have to do another few more logos and possibly do a photo shoot for the Torrent. If that doesn't happen (rain is in the forecast possibly) I may get my 1st session for my tattoo started. We'll see what happens. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
