Weekend Fun

We had a great weekend.  Things started off right on Thursday when Clark lost one of his teeth accidentally by trying to pry some Legos apart--with his teeth of course.  He had another loose tooth and figured he might as well bite on another Lego and have the other tooth come out. It worked!  And of course, being the parents we are, we let Clark pick out two treats since two teeth came out. He asked if we could put money under his pillow, and then he could wake up and see that the toothfairy came. He decided to get the treat instead.

Friday we went swimming (minus Lee), then went to a birthday party (with Lee).  A couple of weeks ago I saw a message from my sister in my email to look under my chair.  I thought it was very strange, and felt silly, but I went ahead and looked under my chair.  There was a note under my chair from my wonderful husband asking me on a date!  It was very sweet and creative.  Thanks Lee! 

We went miniature golfing on base.

We headed off base for a treat afterwards. While we were at DQ I took a picture of the DQ sign.  A guy in his vehicle saw me taking the picture.  A few minutes later while we were eating our blizzards, he came out and offered to take our picture. Basically he thought it was funny that we wanted a picture at DQ (that was my interpretation). We told him that it was a treat for us to be there alone because we had 5 kids.  Anyway, he was surprised and Lee and I got a nice chuckle. By the way I worked at Dairy Queen in high school.  I haven't been to DQ in years!

The next morning we took a family bike ride to the PX for a car show. We brought our own popsicles. YUM!
