February: Every few months, Marc and I try to take each kid for a one-on-one date... Here were my dates with the kiddos in February:
Macey got new skates for Christmas so we decided to go test them out. We always have lots of free passes to skate at Family Fun Zone (which means we only pay $2 for skate rental). We took Macey's skates so this date only cost $2 to rent skates for me... which was a good thing because after arriving at the skating rink, I realized that I forgot my wallet. I had to pay for our date with change that I found in Marc's car! We had a great time skating and enjoyed sharing a slushie.
Sadie had really been wanting to go to Sunday open gym at her gymnastics facility. For her date, I took her and a friend to open gym. It was a relaxing afternoon for me as I got to sit and watch (and read) for 2 hours. Afterwards we stopped at McDonalds for an icecream treat.
For Kinnick's date we went to happy hour at Steak & Shake for 1/2 price shakes. I took some card games and we had fun playing cards while we enjoyed our ice cream. We also had to order some french fries because he was "starving".
I love spending one-on-one time with each of my kids and watching as their personalities continue to change and develop. I love listening to their stories and spending time doing things that they love.
