Date with Mommy

A few days ago, Will and I loaded up in the car and headed off on a date.  Sometimes it's kinda fun to just escape with only one child....

Our date didn't amount to much...but he was thrilled.

First we stopped at a store that was closed....closed every Monday.  That brought lots to discuss.  Three year olds just simply don't understand why a store would ever be closed.  It's always nice to have a topic to discuss on a date.

Next stop...library.  He was a trooper.  We picked out a few 'm' books to use for school and also a couple fun books just because.  He insisted on carrying all of them.  Such a gentleman.

Next stop.  Dairy Clean.  That 'qu' sound is apparently difficult to make.  That was the definite highlight of the date.  The one stop that he didn't forget to expound on when we got home.

From then on, our date went down hill.  Wal-Mart isn't nearly as fun as Dairy Clean.  Nor is the dry cleaners.  Or Kroger.  My date got real grouchy, real fast.

He was so ready to get home.  But getting home wasn't all it was cracked up to be.  He found a mud pile.  Literally, a pile.  And great was the mess thereof. 

His mean ole mom asked him to clean the mud off his boots before coming into the kitchen, and this was the result.

He was sad.  So very sad.  

He came in and took a nap. 

Maybe we should hold off the dates for a little while yet.
