Daddy Weekend

This weekend was a very rare occurrence as Kerry was away at a vampire party with her best friend Melissa. Maybe I'll take a step back and start over. Melissa lives in Coldstream near Vernon and is a bit of a Twilight fan. (Here's a shot of Kerry from last summer during their trip to Forks Washington.)  She's had a special party for each of the movies where slightly older then teenage girls get together and watch the latest Twilight movie. There's food and lot's of red, white and black. Kerry was in desperate need of some time to herself so she took advantage of her brother's job at Air Canada to get a cheap flight up for the weekend. A rare occurrence for many reasons but mainly because she hasn't spent an entire weekend away from both kids ever.

We dropped Mommy off at the airport and headed home for Family Movie Night.  Kerry left us a surival kit of chips and other goodies to get us through our two days alone.  Callie had a bright idea to have it in her room using her portable DVD player which resulted in a large amount of supplies stuffed into a very small area and lot's of spills. We're still cleaning chips out of Wilson's dog bed and I never did find all the Malteasers.  Those things really roll!

Saturday morning was a plan well laid that never quite came to fruition. Carter has multi-sport at 9:15a and Callie has ballet at 9:30a. Kerry had arranged to have me drop Callie off at her friend Ashley's house and her mom would take both of them to ballet and I would pick her up after Carter and I were done. I managed to get her out of the house and to Ashley's on time but I think Callie was feeling a bit out of sorts without Mommy around so she was sticking very close to Carter. (Notice I said Carter and not me.)  Multi-sport was missing several people and became a bit of a free for all by the end so Callie got to join in for soccer and an impromptu game of what our family likes to call "Run and Hug". This was Carter's turn.

I needed to figure out something to pass the afternoon so we drove to King George sky train station and we went to Metrotown. The train ride itself was a majority of the excitement. I don't think we ended up doing much of anything except for riding the mall train and checking our Lightening McQueen or as Carter refers to him "Red Buttah Queen". We have no idea why he calls him that.

Mommy did return. Both kids are still alive, the dog didn't run away and I'm sure we'll find those Malteasers during spring cleaning.
