This past weekend was a child free weekend with us. It was oddly quiet and almost creepy at times. I mean even after the kids are in bed I usually hear the occasional night time bathroom trip or something, but no it was quiet. Big Daddy had some free hockey tickets fall into his lap the weekend before for Friday night. So with no kids we had a double date night with his sister and her hubby. It was Triple A Hockey but it was still a good game. Actually ended with a shootout so it wasn’t boring to say the least.

How were we child free you ask? Well this weekend was Little Prince’s weekend with his Dad and Mister Man…well he was kidnapped by some good friends of ours. Their son Lucas* is a year younger then Mister Man and they are best friends. We finally got Mister Man back yesterday. When we got him back it was already dinner time so we all decided to go to Cici’s Pizza. Not exactly the best choice for the diet but hey if I’m gonna fall off the bike I may as well get all scraped up before I get back on right? We were sitting there eating and talking. The kids were talking and eating and still having a good time. When Allie* (the Mom) looks over at Kayla* (their daughter) and says “I’m sorry Princess but you can’t have any salad until you finish your dessert.” Okay about this time Big Daddy, Tim* (the Dad) and I all look at each other before we look at Allie completely confused. We all laughed and Kayla went along eating her dessert. She eventually went back and got some salad after she was done.

Needless to say it was a nice evening hanging out over dinner and talking even if it was a quick impromptu one. We made plans to play in a Magic tournament at the end of the month together. I’m looking forward to that…although I’m quite rusty.

Check back tomorrow for our customer service nightmare while at Cici’s
