Jeremy and I let the kids know that Mommy and Daddy were going to go on a date. We were brainstorming a bunch of ideas of what we could do on our date. We decided to ask the kids what they thought we should do. When we asked Jr., he said, "You should eat ice cream and talk to each other." Wow, that was a really great idea.
When we asked Nichole, she said, "We should go play at a friend's house while you stay home." She couldn't think of something for us to do.
It took a while to get an idea out of Jr. Jr. Finally we asked him this morning while Jeremy was cleaning his glasses. "What should Mommy and Daddy do on our date?" He responded, "Glasses."
So we took the kids' ideas and used them on our date.
We ate ice cream at home and talked while wearing our glasses.
That and we just got the game, Monopoly, which neither Jeremy nor I have played for years, so we played that at home while wearing our glasses, eating ice cream, and talking.
As an afterthought, Jeremy realized we could have been creative with Jr. Jr.'s answer and we could have had root beer floats in our big "glasses" or mugs. A blind taste test of different brands of root beer was another one of our earlier brainstorming ideas. We could have combined that idea. Oh, well. We're not disappointed with our result.
