One-on-One Dates

We have discussed doing one-on-one dates with the kids for a long time, and finally the tradition has begun...At the beginning of the month, we picked out days for each of the kids to have two one-on-one dates, one with Mom and one with Dad. So far...

Thursday, I took Shae to get her hair cut...I wanted to do something "girly" since lately she has been saying "...when I'm a boy, I get to..." Ummm...ya, better start emphasizing how FUN it is to be a girl, cause she won't necessarily pick that up from her brothers while "playing punch," a new game the kids started playing with the giant green Incredible Hulk fists Uncle Bryan and Aunt Tessa got the boys last Christmas! After getting fancied up at the salon, we went to TacoBell (what girl night would be complete without TacoBell?!) for sodas, snacks, and lots of silliness and chatting. Among topics discussed was, of course The Sandlot (Shae's favorite movie)!!! We had a blast and it was so fun to have some girl time!!
Saturday morning, Danny took Cooper to the DollarStore to get markers and a new coloring book, then to IHOP for breakfast and coloring. Cooper was in seventh heaven! Cooper had smiley face pancakes and Daddy had hawaiian pancakes. Both boys did a fantastic job coloring!
