Some nights we get home and crash, forget to spend time making memories that last. Work consumes our time instead of play....Then, some nights we play, and we do not stop until dark. Those nights I wish I could repeat every single night! To make sure we have at least one a week, we have "family date night". Tonight's was too good to keep to myself- primarily how it ended.
Summary of our family date night:
1. Get the amazing yet always unpredictable Naru. Free sample sushi which I tried for the first time... Ever! Agreement from husband to wear plaid shorts if I ate said sushi-- if you know him you know he is dying inside right now.
2. Stuffed ourselves on my fav, chick-fil-a ice cream!
3. Surprise stop at the park to swing and climb. (See post on Liam's swing experience and why this is such a big deal HERE!)
4. Pull over car to kill huge spider on Amy's passenger side front seat- needless to say after Dada missed the spider Mommie road in the back with Liam the rest of the night. Dad spent time emptying and searching moms purse for spider upon the return home.
5. Highlight of our night:
"Mom!! My shoooooee!! " said the toddler from the back seat.... With the windows rolled down.
"Liam WHERE IS YOUR SHOE!"
"Out da (there)." Points outside window.
Hence the ten minute search for the shoe on the side of the road and a very large "I told you so/he's just like his dad" from my mother-in-law.
Laughter has seized us tonight and I hope it doesn't let go!
