Getting ready for the BIG DAY & 2 dates

Yesterday, Matt and I went on a very much needed date. All by ourselves! No Children! We went out to dinner and then wanted to try out Monster Golf (has black lights and cool lighting.) It was so nice to ENJOY dinner and not have to worry about it getting cold and not having to deal with temper tamtrums from our little blessings. It was also nice to enjoy a game of mini-golf and it felt like the OLD DAYS of dating. We topped off the night with a trip to THE CONE.

We have decided to do the date thing once a month as long as we can get babysitters. Matt's parents were wonderful and offered to babysit for us.

Today, Carleigh and Matt went on a father/daughter date. They went to a park (and Matt went down the twisty slide....ohhhh how I wish I could have SEEN that!) and went out for ice cream. We have decided to take each child individually out monthly because they love that one-on-one time with Mommy or Daddy. (Cody took a nap as he was up a little bit last night due to a nightmare.)

While the duo were out on their date, I packed up Cody's backpack, filled out the lengthy Parent Questionaire, and started to get weepy thinking about my little man. It seems like yesterday when I brought him home and now he is in Kindergarten. Oh my! Matt gets to take him on his first day (jealous Mommy) and how I hope this year is magical, fun, and productive for him. Matt and Cody will be drawing their hands and talking about their dreams and wishes for the school year with Cody's intervention specialist. What a special and big day for my baby boy! Hopefully I will be able to teach without my mind wondering what they are doing. Pictures will be posted tomorrow night.
