Date Night...with Shane

We, rather I, have been wanting to start date nights with the kids, but weeks go by and there are so many things to get done that we have never gone through with my good intentions. That is, until my friend Jamie invited us out on her date night with Jameson, one of Shane's best buddies. We met them for a movie, Ice Age 3, followed by ice cream. Also on the date were our friends Linda and Susy, and then Amber, Thomas, and Joshua joined us for ice cream.

Despite Shane's lack of interest in taking a picture with his mom, we had a good date. It was some much needed one on one time. And he enjoyed having his friends to play with. I really enjoyed having one child and NO DIAPER BAG!!!! Shane also enjoyed the "you can have whatever you want because it is a special night". He took full advantage and ordered popcorn, sprite (the horror for me since I am anti-soda), watermelon sourpatch kids, and then Ben and Jerry's ice cream after the movie. I was seriously concerned he might get sick, but he didn't and passed out as soon as we got home.

Obviously Shane was not interested in the camera
