Weekend Getaway

This past weekend we packed our bags and headed to Grandma's house. We had the responsibility of house sitting and dog sitting. Ok so it wasn't the kind of weekend getaway I would prefer but we got to make a mess of grandma's house and she wasn't there to witness it. haha

We had a great weekend, just the two of us, that was actually tantrum free. Let's hope this is a breakthrough and the lovable, sweet girl that was present this weekend stays. I kind of liked her.

On a serious note though, it was great to have quality time with my daughter where we weren't dealing with tantrums. It's much easier on both of us when there is no screaming or crying. Maybe she knew she was going to be gone for a week, so she wanted to take it easy on me.

Over the weekend, we checked on Carlee's pumpkins. Yes, we're growing pumpkins. Carlee gets so excited when she checks on them and sees that they're growing. Can you tell by her smile?

We also had lunch at the park which Carlee always enjoys. I enjoy the nap she takes after playing so hard. She didn't even make it home before passing out. I don't know why she was biting her blanket but I did remove it right after I took the picture.

We also went to our friends' house to watch UFC fights. We always have fun because Carlee gets to play with her friends and Mommy gets to talk with her friends. Win win.

When we weren't bugging Uncle or the dog, or dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba, we made funny faces...

Phew... dog sitting and house sitting is exhausting!
