Hello all, and welcome to Dude Night #2. Steph is taking her second cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby. Not to be confused with Home Depot, the place I told one of her friends that she was taking her class. Who knew the world’s most popular home improvement superstore would not have classes for cake decorating?
At least we dropped her off at the right place. Whew!
The time for the two Muss Dudes to hit the road had come. With mom in Hobby-L working with Crisco-filled icing and pastry bags, we hit the road for Chuck E Cheese’s.
Of course we have to get the typical tourist photo before diving into the kid-friendly, yet budget-hating, entertainment machines.
Have you ever seen a photo of someone standing in the middle of Time Square starring up at the bright lights, video screens and tall buildings? That was Lane tonight in the middle of the kiddie section at the pizza joint. "How ever did they get so many lights in one room? Why do big kids keep running so fast around me? Why did Dad buy game tokens when all I care to do is people-watch and stare at lights?"
Lane's Grammy (Grace) is scarred to death of mice, and all rodents for that matter. Lane? Not so much. He likes mascots and he loved Chuck E., almost as much as he loved Chuck's E's pizza. Lil dude ate 3 slices himself. 
Of course every outing is an opportunity for Dad to share a little of his broadcast background. Lane, pictured below, enjoyed the blue screen (Chroma Key) set. Although he had no idea his face was on every screen in the building, nor did he care.

Lane and I purchased 10 tokens to use for the various games. Lane thought the games were cool, but holding the small cup of coins was the best part of the night. It's the small things. Let's hope it stays that way."Dad, I want a car."
"Well son, your mother and I have a cup of Chuck E. Cheese tokens, will that work?"
"Dad, you are a huge dork."
"Thank you son, your mother has been saying that for years. Have a great day at school."
We finally made it back to get Steph at Hom...., I mean Hobby Lobby. What better way to tell Mom you miss her than dropping to the floor and pretending that you are Michael Phelps?
Christmas is almost here! At least the stores think so.
Well, that's all folks. Have a great week.
