Romantic Date

Friday night DH and I went on a date.
We had this planned for a couple days already, but I like to be cheesy and call and ask him out. I called him at lunchtime and said... "Would you like to go out with me tonight?" His reply. "I'd love to." Awwwww. .. my heart melted.

My mom kept JP and Mallory went to Aunt Jodi's to have a sleepover with Hannah.

Dh and I got dressed up and went out to Montana Mike's Steak House. It was nice to eat a good meal in peace! Good conversation. We re-connected after one very busy week. I had a ribeye, and Dh had a Chicken fried steak.

We were stuffed when we left there, so the movie theater was out of the question! We took a cruise around the town square. Our usual stop after eating out on the weekends is Hasting's. I wanted to do something different. So Dh asks me what I wanted to do. It was already 9:00 PM, so our choices were limited. Reluctantly, I suggested The Garden Center... as in Wal-Mart Garden Center. LOL!!! Romantic huh?

So we head over to the Garden Center. I was looking for a bird stuff. Bird food/seed, bird houses, bird bath. Speaking of... the birds haven't taken to my feeder. Not sure what I am doing wrong??? I tried a new type of seed. Maybe that will help. Wasn't too impressed with their selection of bird baths, or feeders for that matter.

Anyway... we decided to plant a small garden with the kids. Dh wants to do strawberries. I was thinking more along the lines of tomatoes, or cucumbers. We'll see. We need to read up on it a little more before we start. I want the kids to be involved from start to finish. Sounds like fun, right!

Certainly, most would not consider our date as "romantic", but I do. MAKING time for each other, talking over a nice dinner, holding hands as we walk, nurturing our kids. Little things, that make a big difference. My idea of romance isn't all roses and candlelight. ;)
