Kid's Date Night

As you know I have been wanting to spend more quality one on one time with the kids.

I think it is very important for us to make that time.

So we decided to put the dates on the calendar!

Each month we have a date with each of the kids.

We can either stay at home or go somewhere.

We will have a lot more options of activities to do once the 

weather is nicer and the it is light a little longer.

I have been putting together a list of activities to do with each child 

and also a list of stuff to do for a family date night once a month.

So last night Josh took Michelle out for hot chocolate at Woods.

Unfortunately I have no pictures.

But they both had a great time and got to have some special one on one time to talk.

Jordan and I stayed home.

I asked him in advance what he wanted to do 

and he wanted to do circle time and school.

So he set to work setting that up for us.

He set a post for each of us at the table.

To begin our circle time we sang the hello song and then he started up with open, shut them so we sang that.

Then he told me it was time to pray.  

So we prayed for our time together.

Then it time for calendar and we had to have a Popsicle stick with his name on it 

so he could be the special helper.

{story time book and show & tell bucket for circle time}

Then we read book about tractors which turned into 3 because he really wanted to see a corn chopper.

After story time he said that is what time to play on the play structure (like his preschool).

But we don't have one so he he wanted to play sorry.

I was down.

{Very close game!}

{Guess who won?!}

Then it was time to do art at the table. 

We each had an angry bird color page.

When he was done he flipped it over to write his name.

He told that you can either write it in rainbow or just one color.

That is what his teacher says.

Jordan also in the last week has been big on writing out the day and date.

He decided to do that again tonight since I was still coloring and he was done.

Earlier he had picked out a snack for us.

He then passed it out to us.

He chose mint oreos and marshmallows

When we were finishing up Josh and Michelle came home.

He wanted to keep going so we then moved on to show & tell.

Followed by a bible story.

Then it was free play time so we played trucks.

I had a blast with my little man!

It was an added bonus that I finally got a glimpse into what his preschool morning is like.

Whenever I ask I get no details.

But tonight he walked me through it step by step.

I hope to get all my ideas a little more organized so we also have new and fresh ideas.

I will share a list when that happens (organization).

If you have any ideas for me to add I would love to hear them!
