DATE NIGHT
Gary and I scheduled ourselves a date night. Long overdue. It's been months. It's so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the days and lose track of getting that good one on one time. My parents already had my sisters kids for a sleepover, so we added Caden to the mix-he got some good cousin time in and we got a little break from Thomas the Train. let's be honest. Thomas is on all.the.time it seems and he and his train friends are kind of whiney...
We went to yummy Bella Luna. It helps me greatly to have pictures with menus, and they have none. So beyond the normal indecisiveness, it was multiplied. I tried something new, which usually I stick to what I know, and it was good, but wouldn't get it again. Lesson learned. Stay.in.bubble. Gary is always trying new things and at the end half the time says 'eh, it was okay.' While I'm like 'I've eaten this same meal here at this place for the last million years and it's good each time.' okay, it's not that bad, but still-at least I'm satisfied! Still, it was good, just would stick to their pasta next time.
Afterwards we went bowling. We have some movie tickets we need to use, but wanted to save it for another movie and I'm glad we went bowling after all-I think we needed that interaction together versus just sitting in front of a movie screen. It was so fun. We laughed, teased, and bowled our hearts out.
It was a given when Gary got the cool shoes that he would do better. It's all in the shoes. He played around on the third game since best out of three was not his choice-so I had to snap a picture of me scoring higher than him even if it wasn't completely fair.
I love this man. I love that he can act immature and silly with me at home or in pubic. I love how honest and thoughtful he is. He's such a fun and thoughtful husband. I won the jackpot people. For real.
Shortly after picking up Caden, guess who we got to watch....THOMAS!!! You do what you gotta do, people. Caden has three of four teeth left that are coming in. They seem to be coming in like snails too-so slow and bugging him so much. Once they're all in-we'll have no teething excuses, but for now, we do. We definitely do.
two different Thomas occasions...and I promise, he doesn't always just watch tv...but yes, he usually likes to stand that close no matter how often we tell him to back up.
Caden is all over the place. He's saying so much. I love the way he says Thomas when he sees him. How he tries to repeat all the things we say, especially the last word. He loves to be a little helper. Just a really fun stage. Also a really stubborn stage too--but can't win 'em all.
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, so until next time, enjoy these two tidbits of cuteness:
Reading to himself in bed before getting up and insisting on having his own hamburger, despite only taking a few bites. It was one of those pick your battles moments.
