Father/Daughter Weekend

Here is an early weekend update on father/daughter weekend. Steph and a few of her girlfriends headed over to Miracle Ranch for the Hope Women's Retreat, so Maddie, Kenzie and I are hanging out. We kicked off the weekend with Dinner with nana and papa J at Elliott Bay in the Junction. After that we headed up to a stamp signing at Friends Craft store. I am not 100% clear on the details around this, but basically there was a 7 year old that designed her own stamp. Everyone loved it, so they produced the stamp. This night was her "stamp signing" event! Maddie really enjoyed it. Here is a posting on westseattleblog about it. We headed up, watched a movie, made some crafts, read some books, and then went to bed.

KK woke up a bit early :-) and so I climbed into her bunk with her and she dozed off again for another hour. About 7, Maddie got up and we read one of her new library books then maddie said, "Dad, can we go out for breakfast please?" So, we packed up and headed up to Charleston for ""Minnie" Mouse Pancakes. After getting my morning Ladro, the girls wanted to just play in the garage with their bikes and scooters. I was surprised to see that KK can now pedal her tricycle now. Probably time for a helmet for her! I let them run wild in the garage for a bit, then Maddie came to the door with her baseball mit, "Wanna play catch?" Tough to resist that. This was the first time the gloves have been out since T-ball. First throw was a fastball, up and in! Serious, she really had some juice on it. For anyone that has seen t-ball, throwing is a challenge, but she has really improved.

Well, that is it for now. Next stop is Barnes and Noble story time....Peter Rabbit. Hopefully after that it is nap time :-)
