Girl's night / Boy's night





Jett and I have been trying to spend quality time with each of our kid's so this past weekend we did a Mom and Kalli night and a Dad and Riley night. It is so fun to spend that one on one time with each of our kid's to do whatever they want and they love it. Next month is date night with each of them.


Jett and Riley decided to make it a night at home they first started out going to dinner at Chili's then it was home for a night of the Wii. ( I was not there so this is all the info I got)

I asked Kalli what she would like to do and she said to go the mall and eat, ride the merry-go-round and then to the Hello Kitty store. I made the mistake of taking back an outfit that I got and she was very, very unhappy she told me that all the clothes were ugly and we needed to just get out of the store. We went at ate pizza at the food court (Kalli's choice) then off to visit good, old Hello Kitty and the second she walked in she grabbed a basket and began to fill it so we had to a little inventory before we checked out (who knew a pillow with a cat on it could be $55.00) so we ended up with a bag filled with jewelry, pens and stationary.


It was so much fun to spend an evening just chatting and laughing with our kid's. Our hope is that neither of them ever feel like we favor the other we love them both the same!

We need to start doing that. I'm glad Laila hasn't discovered Hello Kitty just yet.

You guys are great. What a fun time. You forget that you need to spend time with each of your kids alone. I took Coop out on a date like 2 years ago, and I had so much fun, but I haven't done it again. Thanks for reminding me the importance of it.
