Caroline and I before we are taken out by two really awesome guys!
James and Caroline enjoyed a fun lunch at Moe's and then enjoyed shopping at five stores (although all they bought was the Fireproof movie DVD). They had fun hanging out and talking.
As this is my blog, I can really only talk about my date with Jack. We went to his favorite restaurant, Steak and Shake. Before we left, Jack said, "Mommy, can you please wear something pink on our date. You look so pretty when you wear pink." Where does he get this stuff? After I got dressed, he also had to pick out my jewelry, a bracelet with hearts on it (because it was a Valentine's Day date) and pink earrings. When we got to the restaurant he insisted on opening the doors and asking for a table for 2. He also had to order us a chocolate milkshake with a cherry on top and two straws. Someday he'll make an awesome date for some lucky lady!
We talked about the dinosaurs we had seen yesterday and then the conversation turned to the future. Interesting conversation with a five-year old to have. Jack told me he was going to marry Sarah Crouse when he became big. After they were married, he was going to pray and ask Jesus for babies in Sarah's tummy (his knowledge of how babies are made) and they were going to have three - one boy, named John and two girls, one named Sally, the other one named Maddie. (hope Sarah likes those names). He was going to be a vet when he grew up so he can have money in a wallet and pay for things. After Sarah has children, she will stay home with the babies for about 6 months. He said, she will probably hold the babies on her lap, while she gets online and puts pictures of the children on the blog. (no joke, he said this ~ guess he watches me a bit too much). He also said he will drive a blue mustang and Sarah will have a green Honda. Neither one will have lids they will be convertibles). All their children will have to sit in carseats and be buckled up each time they get in the car. Maddie's birthday is going to be October 6th. And for her 2nd birthday she is going to have a ballerina birthday cake. I'm not sure if I'm impressed he thought this all out in such detail or scared to death that he thought it out in such detail. It definitely lets me know he is watching everything we do. He said, his job at night will be to fix the glasses for the kids to drink and to do the dishes after dinner and pray with the kids and put them to bed. (just like what his daddy does each night). So I know he is taking it all in.
What a joy it was to spend time with my sweet boy, who gave me a glimpse that he is growing up far too fast. After lunch, we went to the Dollar Store and Jack bought a kite we enjoyed flying after lunch. Such fun! Even if it was a cheap kite that we had to throw away when we were through.
Love dates with our kids. Memories very much worth it! I look forward to the next one!
