Dates

We spend alot of GREAT time together as a family--special times and just the day-to-day--but Chris and I also recognize the importance of quality one-on-one time, with each other and with the children.
So we try to plan "dates" with Corban and Abigail. They look forward to those times and so do we! Sometimes it is a fun outing, sometimes its just running an errand, and sometimes it's doing something together at home.

Daddy/Corban Date for breakfast at Panera.


This was a date that Corban gave Daddy as a gift (I helped him get a gift card so he could take Daddy out for "boy breakfast"), and Chris brought along Connect 4 for some fun!



Sunday, I told Corban that he and I were going on a movie date.
I had changed into sweatpants after church and thought that would be fine. But Chris called up that I needed to change when Corban proudly showed him how he had gotten himself dressed in his nice pants, button up shirt and a vest (the same outfit he wore on our Music Man date!). He looked so handsome and called up to me "just wear something I'll like"!
We were running late for the show and decided to wait and go to Starbucks instead. Corban wanted a "cold hot chocolate" and we had a great time sitting outside and talking. Corban is such a gentleman!




The next day we went back to watch the 3D SeaRex IMAX movie! The girls went with us, Hadassah slept through the show and Abigail didn't want to wear the glasses but sat quietly.








And sometimes a "date" is just boy time wrestling with Daddy on the sofa!
