Mystery Trip {dates with your kids}
September 8, 2012 by 3 Comments
Matt has always been a romantic! I can remember all kinds of fun dates he's planned for me! So creative and thoughtful! Now that we have kids, the dating hasn't stopped, it just included the kids some times! LOVE IT!
Here's how the Mystery Trip went down the other night.
Close to bed time, Matt got all the kids in their PJs. While the kids were cleaing up the last of their toys, Matt and I snuck all our pillows into our van. {We leave the middle seat out all the time...long story} After that Matt loaded all 3 kids into the car and told them he had a surprise. They were so pumped but a little confused.
Why is Mommy not coming? Where are we going? Why do we have on our PJs already?I jumped in the van with mild cups and as soon as I saw them pull out of the driveway I opened the garage door and headed out to grab my part of the surprise.
1st I hit up the local grocery store who cares Krispy Kreams and snatched up simple glazed doughnuts and doughnut holes.
Then I headed to the McDs around the corner and grabbed a movie, the Lorax, with our FREE coupon code, and ran through the drive thru to get my sweety a Diet Coke.
Finally I shot over to the local high school parking lot, and text Matt to tell him I was "in place". He had been driving a big loop to give me time to get there and through the kids for a loop. I began laying out the pillows over the entire floor and loaded the DVD in our super cool car DVD player.
Matt came into the parking lots and parked a spot over from the van where I was sitting in the back seat. Our oldest said, "Hey, that looks like Our van..." When I saw Matt about to get out of the car I slung open the back door and they cheered, "It's Mommy! She's the surprise!" Too funny! I liked being the surprise.
We unloaded the carseats and piled everyone into the van to watch our Red Box...but the disc was messed up. Oh well, we had a couple cartoons already in the car to choose from and it didn't really matter to them. We ate doughnut holes and sipped milk while snuggling, wrestling, laughing, and cuddling. I think there was a movie playing in the background but I don't remember what it was ;o)
I know thisi s blurry but you can see he's yelling "Juuuuuuice!" trying to hand out cups. hehe
Do you have an creative dates you've done with your hubs or kids?
