Saturday 05MAY2012

Today started out EARLY as Girl2 and I walked to the cafe for breakfast. They had a couple of new people so things took longer than normal. We had to hurry because this was the morning of my drawing class for the arts council.

We had 14 kids turn out for drawing class and we had a BLAST! When it was over they all wanted to know when we could do it again. I don’t know, but .I can hardly wait for it.

Daddy-Daughter Breakfast 24MAR2012

We both decided to draw the people this time.

Daddy-Daughter Breakfast 25FEB2012

Wholly Crap did we have breakfast early that morning!  Girl2 had her first soccer game of the season at 9AM Saturday, and the fields are an hour away.  That means we had to go to breakfast and get back before 7am so we could get changed and leave by 7:45.  So at 6:15 we were standing outside of our usual breakfast cafe only to discover they had changed their hours.  Now they don’t open until 7.  UNHAPPY FACE!  Anyway, since we’re not cry babies, we walked back home and got in the truck in search of another cafe.  THEN, just as we were about to get to the soccer fields, a train STOPPED on the tracks in front of us!  Luckily we noticed it happening in time to turn a block away and circumvent that sucker.  We still made it to the game early enough for warm ups!  I know that’s not as exciting a story to the rest of you, but for us, it’s a pretty big accomplishment.

Daddy-Daughter Breakfast 18FEB2012

We didn’t get our usual spot at the bar this week. However, our table gave me a neat view of the architecture surrounding the cash register.  As I don’t usually draw stuff like that, I thought I’d take a stab at it.  Girl2 was inspired to draw a bird with a worm.

My little fashion maven loves the bright colors and the pink!  Everyone thinks this is adorable now. I used to get made fun of for wearing practically this same outfit in high school.  It was the ’80s.  It was in style then.

Daddy-Daughter Breakfast 04FEB2012

After being at the studio for Midnight at Oasis until 3 am, I was NOT in the mood to be awake.  However, I am always in the mood to spend time with my little girl, especially for Daddy/Daughter breakfast.  It was more of a brunch this week as we didn’t get there until after 10. Girl2 was starving and ate all of her biscuits and gravy, her toast with jelly, one of my eggs, half of my hash browns, and half of the bacon! If you look carefully, you will notice that we were situated directly in front of the cinnamon roll tray. As we sat there staring at it, I just kept wondering if anyone would notice me scraping the “goodie” off the tray with my fork.  Yum!
