First what happened was that the Little Miss woke up at 6:00, and tried to wake Dad up as well, which prompted Dad to say, "NO." And so we went back to sleep.
Then the Little Miss woke up at 7:00, which Dad felt was a much more reasonable time to get up, and besides he kinda shoulda known that the Little Miss was gonna get up this early, because that's what she does, so maybe he shouldn't have stayed up all night playing video games, so really his tiredness is his own fault, so we got up and had breakfast.
Then we watched Rango for the twentieth time, because a) Hazel loves it and b) it is awesome. Or maybe we should say that we just had it on in the background, because during this time, we worked on a Powerpuff Girl stickerbook, which meant Dad had to explain what sound effects were, because half of the stickers were explosions that said things like POW! BIFF! KABLOOM! Which also meant that Dad had to explain that sometimes when one thing hits another thing, the collision sometimes creates a big fireball with words in it, especially on television, and then the Little Miss shot me with her sparking ray gun, which meant that we had to have a sparking ray gun fight.
Then the guy from Shaw came by to give us free cable. Again. While he was here, Hazel decided to ask him if he'd seen Rango, to which he replied, "No."
"Have you seen Superman?" "No."
"Have you seen Batman?" "No."
"Have you seen Toy Story?" "No."
"Have you seen Clifford The Big Red Dog?" "No."
This went on until Hazel had asked him whether or not he'd seen almost all of her movies, and then she asked if he wanted to help with the Powerpuff Girl stickers. And that's when he left, and so we had cable, but we we really didn't want to watch anything, so we turned it off.
Then Dad has to sheepishly admit that he probably fell back asleep on the couch for a little bit, and when he woke up, he found that Hazel had made a nest on the living room chair out of all of her clothes. Because she's a bird now.
Sigh.
So Dad folded up all the clothes while the Little Miss systematically separated a cheese bun into several parts that she then sequestered in various parts of the kitchen, which prompted Dad to say that now was probably the best time to go for a drive. So we went for a drive! Which was good because Dad needed to pick up stuff at Staples, so we went to Staples, or as Hazel apparently calls it, Adventure Hide & Seek Land, because the moment we walked in the door Hazel decided it was time to run as fast as she could down the aisles and hide, periodically poking her head out from behind printer stands, office furniture and Crayola displays to yell "Boo!" at people passing by. And then Dad decide that, hey, she wasn't hurting anyone, so he went and bought a scanner and THEN tracked the Little Miss down.
Sorry, Staples employees. I am a Bad Father.
Then we went to Dad's work and said hi to everyone except Jeffrey Storey, because Hazel's really shy around Mr. Storey (and who WOULDN'T be?), and we got a cookie and some lemonade, and then Tiff and Sarah let Hazel colour in their sketchbooks, and then we ate our cookie and came home.
Then we had dinner, and then we watched episodes of Justice League before bedtime, during which Hazel used her Cowgirl Princess gun (which is obviously different than a sparking ray gun, because apparently I have let our home become a clubhouse for the Junior NRA) to shoot all of the bad guys that were on the television, like Lex Luthor and Gorilla Grodd.
