Playing Hooky

This past week the boys played hooky from preschool and we went to Atlanta for fun with Gigi and Papa Doc, a dinosaur adventure and a sleepover party!! We went from Tuesday - Sunday because Phil had to work from Atlanta for a few days and then played in the PDC Member Guest Golf Tournament over the weekend. We had a great week of fun... the boys loved getting to eat their usual sgetti and chocolate ice cream with m&ms at the Club with Gigi and Doc, go for golf cart jolly rides around the golf course, play and see all the BIG dinosaurs at Fernbank (and with both boys new obsession with dinosaurs, this was a real hit as you can imagine) and loved their sleepover party with Uncle Blake and Aunt Lyd!!! The boys couldn't believe how "the dinosaurs were even bigger than their daddy" as Philip kept saying, Parker loved doing his new adorable "ROOOAAARRRR" every time he saw a new dinosaur and the T-Rex was of course both boys dinosaur of choice (Parker can even say T-Rex now... it is too cute)!!! And Parker now has a new favorite toy... so move over Buzz Lightyear... Papa Doc is now the chosen one!! It was too funny... Phil and I kept laughing trying to figure out what Papa Doc had done to win Parkers little heart over in full but all Parker wanted all week was his "Papa Doc" which he says so good now!! Even when we got home on Sunday and I started to unpack, Parker started repacking his toys and kept saying over and over again "Papa Doc Papa Doc Papa Doc." Good thing we are going to see his Papa Doc in just two weeks in St. Simons!! And then on Saturday night, mommy and daddy had a night out on the town and the boys had a sleepover party with just Uncle Blake and Aunt Lyd! They watched the go dawgs game, played outside, played the boys favorite game "duck duck goose" (hearing Parker play this game might be the cutest thing I have ever seen), slept great and all of that was followed by a fun lazy morning with yummy eggs and bacon!! Blake and Lyd couldn't believe how good the boys were and couldn't believe "how easy" it was to take care of them (a direct quote from my brother Blake)... I explained that the kids sleeping till 9am is not the norm for most kids... mine just LOVE to sleep! Guess Phil and I really do have an amazing thing going with our little sleepers... although when they are up... they are up, wild and crazy!! Glad it was so easy though... looks like we will be hitting them up again soon - ha!! What a great week... looks like its going to be super hard to top all of that with just a week of school, playdates and flu shots this week in Charlotte... good thing we have another fun bday party with cupcakes on Saturday to look forward to!!!
