Forest in Vegas (21-24)

Forest went to Vegas for a co-worker’s bachelor party. Yeah, he left his poor pregnant wife and 18 month old child home alone while he went off to a 4-day party!! Can you believe the NERVE??? Just teasing, actually, he more than “paid his dues” for the trip. Forest knows better than to just ask if I’m ok with him doing something like this – instead, he emailed me a “proposal” whereby, for 5 months before the trip, he 1) let me sleep in BOTH weekend mornings once a month, 2) got Sienna up and around in the morning (that’s my job, he puts her to bed) 1 morning/week, 3) gave me 4 hours to do whatever I wanted for fun 1 weekend a month AND 4) he paid for the entire trip out of his “allowance money”! I’m actually hoping that he plans another trip like this soon – it was VERY worth it from my perspective!

Sienna and I had a great weekend together. In addition to some quality time alone together, we visited our friends Marina and Catherine on Saturday and went to a Margaritaville party at a co-worker’s house on Sunday.

My favorite part of the whole thing though was that every time Sienna would say “Daddy” during the weekend, I would reply, “sorry honey, Daddy’s watching naked ladies dance right now” or “no, Si, Daddy can’t be here right now, he’s too busy losing all our money gambling, we’ll probably have to move out of our house soon”. She, of course, had no idea what I was saying – but I thought I was hilarious!
