My Epic Journey

It has been the talk of the house the past 24 hours.  At lunch, dinner, bedtime, breakfast, the countdown to Emma and Daddy’s BIG date!

Here was our agenda along with pictures:

Mom captures us before we leave:

Stop #1–Post Office.  We needed to mail out postcards for Mommy’s business (At Home America)

Stop #2–Olentangy Orange High School.  We picked up two tickets for Anna and I to attend Footloose tomorrow at 1:00 pm.  A lot of our students from EPIC are involved.

Stop #3–Best Buy.  Had to pick up a wireless router and card for the house and Anna’s computer.

Stop #4–Carfagna’s Kitchen.  For lunch Emma had Penne Pasta in Butter Sauce and I had Gnocchi in a red cream sauce.  Very good stuff.

Emma and I had so much fun and can’t wait to go on a “special” date again.  But next up is a special day with Dad and Isaac.

The kids have grabbed Isaac’s camera and have taken some pictures.  I don’t know what they mean but my thoughts are below each of them:

I am not sure THEY are handling a day with just Dad very well!!!

This is both disturbing and funny to me!  I am not sure how Emma took it though!

That’s MY BOY!!!!  Multi-tasking!

I would say this is what I do to discipline the kids but I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea.  Not sure why Noah is hanging out in the bathroom cabinet!!!

Perhaps I need to start feeding the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hear Care Bears are good for the bowels!!!
