Daddy/Daughter Day

Good morning everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the fantastic weather (if you're in the Midwest area) It was a busy week per the usual. I was off Tuesday and helped out at Mia's Valentine's Day party. It was my first party at her school to help out at. The kids were really good (I heard at the Christmas one they were crazy) I had groups of 4-5 at a time decorating cookies with frosting, icing and candied eyeballs. Yes, eyeballs. All of the kids used them. Total big hit. All of the parents that volunteered had different stations. Mine sort of was the trickiest because most of the kids were taking their time with decorating their custom cookies. Some ate them instantly. Others saved to eat/show their parents later. Mia saved hers. After I cleaned up the mess, the kids played hot potato before heading out for the day. Mia loved all of the different valentines she got. I had picked up a 4-pack of brownies for Jill for the holiday. She loved them.

Wednesday, I bought some new tires for my car. Probably didn't need to spend the amount that I did, but thankfully I've got a rebate card coming :) Mia came home from school with a thank you picture from her friend Noelle that I drew the dragon picture for. So sweet. Saturday morning was dance class. Jill and I dropped her off and Jill left soon for Schaumburg to hang out with her BFF's for the day. Mia and I went to the park after dance and had a picnic. After we came home, she went to her friend Noelle's house to hang out and play outside with her, her sister and the neighbor girl Mia frequently plays with at recess. They played for a couple hours before Mia and I got ready for our date night. We went to Applebee's for dinner followed by Lego Batman. Great dinner (despite the lousy service) and awesome movie. It was really nice having this time with her over the weekend while Jill got to hang out with friends that don't live in the area anymore. Sunday, we went to the park again but this time with Mommy and not Remi. I missed the Chelsea vs Wolverhampton match Saturday due to my promise to hang out with Mia all day. They won 2-0, but the day was more more enjoyed spending it with Mia. We also sent out invites to Mia's birthday party. So far, confirmed 3 girls.

This week, she has her friendship concert on Friday so I took off for that. Hoping the weather sticks around a bit before we got hit with some more cold. Tomorrow, Mia's lunch note drawing with be her 100th that I've drawn for her. Very stoked about that.

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
