spur of the moment

Gotta hand it to Joe, he paged me Friday at work and stated he was going to attempt to find a last minute babysitter so we could go out to dinner with our friends, Danny and Rhonda.
He left a message on Chelsea's cell phone and once she was done with school she called back and accepted the challenge.
She showed up at 6:50pm - just as I was finishing up giving Owen a bottle and putting him down for the night. He was so tired - been moving around a little too much.
So she had it pretty easy, Luke was already fed, bathed and in pjs. Just ready to sit down with his friend and watch Nemo.
We were home before 9pm as Danny and Rhonda's oldest wasn't feeling well and the youngest wanted them to come bring her home from their friends' house (they always get free babysitters - no fair).
Anyway - it was a quick, impromptu night out and a great end to my work week.
Luke did another ski lesson with Daddy Saturday am - actually used the chair lift for two runs. Then had a basketball game in the afternoon - this go 'round he's got a new coach and a whole new team. It is not quite as organized and will take a little getting used to.
Sunday was a trip up to Nana and Papa's to get some firewood for Daddy's shop. Luke tried his snowshoes out for the 1st time - did pretty well and Mommy didn't do too bad with her snowshoes on and Owen in the backpack carrier. Lots of warm sunshine for us to soak up for a change too.
Now we are preparing to do some traveling back and forth to Nana and Papa's this week. Joe has friends coming in town from Nebraska for a ski weekend.
My dad turns 60 on Thursday - WOW! Where has the time gone - must mean I am getting up there too! Ugh!
