Fun Day with Mommy

I decided to take a day off so Karsten and I could spend a day together before he went to school. I was looking forward to having some special time alone with him!

We started the day with donuts before we headed into my office to get a daycare form notarized and pick up our Door to Door Organics box.


After we dropped our box off at home, we headed for miniature golf!  I can't even remember the last time I played miniature golf, but it is a lot of fun with a four year old.  We were the only person on the course, which made our golfing very relaxing and fun.


Karsten thought it was so cool that he got to hit the ball through the bears legs, into the skeleton's mouth, etc. After each hole, he raced over to see what was up next.


I got my ball stuck inside this guy, so Karsten was quite the gentleman and rescued it for me.


'ARE YOU KIDDING ME' was his reaction when he saw this hole.


Look at that form - a future golfer perhaps?


We didn't really follow any rules in our golfing- who needs to count how many times you hit the ball or follow rules about how to hold the club.  The ball made it into the hole sooner than later.


We stopped for a water break during our game - we watched some guys at the driving range and chatted.  He was glad he got a yellow ball, but he said 'but you don't like it because it has Spongebob on it'.  True enough, Karsten.  I'm not a fan of Spongebob.  :)


Since I didn't think that the guys at the driving range would appreciate my request to take a photo, here is our selfie.  What you can't see is that we're up against Frankenstein - I thought he would be a nice addition to our picture, but my arm wasn't long enough to get him in there.


We stopped for lunch at Red Robin before we headed to a movie!


It's time for Planes!  I'm not sure if I looked at the movie times wrong, or if Fork and Screen is typically offered around lunchtime, but we were in one of the Fork and Screen theaters.  Next time we'll have to have lunch at the theater.


After the movie we headed home for a bit to wait for Scott to get home so we could go to Meet the Teacher at Karsten's new school!

What a fun day.  When I asked Karsten about his favorite part, he said it was the mini golf.  He had trouble saying miniature - it ended up sounding like ministry, so we decided we should just call it mini golf.  I love that he seems so grown up one minute, then a big word like miniature is tough to pronounce the next. Shows that he's still a little guy.
