Date Night

My Sweet Little Boy.

The school bell rang and there sitting on the bench in front of the door sat I.
Dash soon bounded out among all the masses with Archer in tow he flung his arms around me and said
"I knew you would come"
He was a little regressed at the end of this week.
All the action in the neighborhood I think.
He had his back pack ready...this an old pack of Daddy man.

With the kids at a sleep over...

I made two stops before I got home...

I flew in the door once I notice Steve came home early.

Loved it that he was home but I had not showered or made the meal.

So I sent him to the shower set the meal.

I told him that the kitchen was off limits and went to go shower and get changed.

It was really sorta fun trying to rush about and get it all done.

I was going to broil a cod fillet but we had plenty and the light cool supper was really a treat.

I made a raspberry vinaigrette for the salad.

Lemon sorbet for desert.

We rarely have wine but I got a bottle of pinion? it was a white bubbly.

I used the cork screw to open it as the carbonation hissed out...it was a screw top:) hahah

Shows how often we imbibe.

So candle light on the porch served I a dinner.

Just Steve and I.

Steve surprised me with the camera...blog life.
We had desert in the garden watching the hens. You know they really are a peaceful thing to watch.
I gave my beloved a garden tour showing him the fruits already on the vine.
(veggies at it were)

We went over to drop off Archers bedding and then stopped to see what was at the picture show.

We walked up to the marquee with the masses and then we just walked away from it all to just be us.

We stopped at a store called Harbor Freight...it was funny me in a red dress in a hardware store looking at cool tools and gardening gear. You might not know but mechanical things are really interesting to me and I love quality or helpful equipment and tools.

Steve and I really have that in common. See we laugh because this was our date or a part of it.

I really enjoyed seeing this cool store that my dear man wanted to show me.

He was thinking of my heart and my interest different than others yes, but a common ground for us.

I found a nice jewelers pliers that I needed and a eye glass clip on magnifying loop it has 3x and 5x lenses.

We chose to go to a wal-mart and buy a movie and snacks and go home.

Now this is amazing!

As we pulled up to the house we saw the reflection of our labs eyes as he sat sentinel on the curb of the sidewalk in front of the house!!!!!!!!

Somehow the gate was open?

He did not run away he just sat there waiting for us to come home.

Our Golden was inside the fence too.

Steve found a bag of dog dung on the side yard?

Perhaps someone walking there dog threw it at him?

We hung out and watched a movie together and enjoyed each other the snacks and the evening. 

With no story time or bed time children s rituals we simply stood up and went to bed...so easy.

We just simply choose to go to bed, no sweet daughter knocking at the door at 3 a.m.

It was so strange not to have any interruptions.

Finishing sentences is a lost art when we are with the children.

With Dash having a hearing loss and Dove well we just have to reinforce and reinforce...

seems to make little to no difference.

I will be standing in a room and all three of them will speak to me at the same time.

Daddy man usually gets higher rank unless there is a crisis.

Well with kids there is always a crisis. :)

It was nice to sit together and enjoy the evening.

We even slept in...

As we awoke we had several minute of prayer time  this as I lay there arm in arm with him and with Abba was the highlight I think. We just thought of the concerns and laid out them one by one over and over, it was just the best!

We just relaxed for the longest time spoke nothing of work or chores to be done.

Kept silent of tasks..until I remembered the kids would be home in a hour or so and the chickens were out of food.

I was so looking forward to my sis of the heart friend to come and bring home the children so she could stay a while and visit, see the gardens and listen to her new novel plot.

She is a writer. A self published girl.

I am so proud of you, one her sequel now.

ELDALA

Great read! available on Amazon

Well....chickens were hungry no feed.

So we had to take a run to the feed lot before the kids got home.

When we came back and emptied the bags and fed the critters...

a message on the phone left me to realize that my friend who had been sleepless...well she was tired and unable to stay when she was to come to bring home the kids...(I wanted to be with her. :( boo hoo

So with the kids at her place overnight and her tired we opted to go fetch the children.

On the way home sweet Dash was in a crash...he was starving like the kids in India just dieing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sarcasm) I think he had some sugar in the morn and with his metabolism burned it off in an instant.

The boy was also so tired...sleep over is a miss nomer they really don't sleep much ya know.

Steve and I took them for a privilege to the wal-mart to get a subway sandwich they have a $5 foot long. Well we more than got the money worth that girl made a sandwich of a hungry child's dreams.

Dash ate the whole thing!!!!!!

Dove Archer ate 3/4 of hers and chips too and they split a can of soda.

They are sleepy sluggish souls lazing about like every child in the world should have the opportunity to do every now and again.

I just found that cool feature to play with color
