Just the 3 of us party. . .

Well, my parent’s took Stratton home with the Saturday night and brought him back Monday night. . .Jarrod worked late Monday night and didn’t get home last night till 3am. . . yep, he went to work at 7am on Tuesday and didn’t get home till 3am on Wednesday. So basically he hasn’t see Stratton since Saturday night! He didn’t go to work today, because he was tired (duh) and didn’t have to go in till noon since they worked so late, so he took the 1/2 off and ran some errands and picked Stratton up early so they could spend some time together doing “guy stuff”- aka going to Sam’s to shop and buy random things and get an Icee, and to the carwash. Then after I got off work we took him to Chuck E. Cheese (which I said I would NEVER do. . .yum, those words were tasty going down!) and  then went back home and let him open his gifts from us. One of which was a blue shovel. . . .note to self don’t give a kid a shovel if your not going to let him take it outside! He was trying to dig up the rug and was banging it on the furniture and walls. . .live and learn.

Stratton’s first time at Chuck E. Cheese. All he wanted to do was ride the backhoe! What happened to “Wack-A-Mole”?? I have never been to our CEC, but it was really small and there wasn’t a lot of things to do for the little ones. Stratton seemed to have a good time and after 42 rides on the backhoe and spending what few tickets we had on a squishy plastic shark (which we later lost at Target) and some sweet tarts he didn’t throw a fit when it was time to go.
