Boy Time and Date Nights

I love time with my boys when Michayla is at preschool. I feel like Elijah just comes to life having mommy all to himself without his sister stealing some of my attention...even if its just for a couple hours. Today I needed to run errands while Michayla was at preschool (which is what I typically do when she is in school). The whole time we were in the van and even when we were in the stores Elijah just talked and talked. He asks so many questions right now and I love it. "Mom, what's a sidewalk?" "Mom, what's a filter?" Mom, what's a...?" Anthing Kevin and I are talking about and he picks up on he asks what it is. Yes, it's a lot of questions, but I love seeing "the wheels" spinning in his little mind.
Then we pick Michayla up and she is always SO EXCITED to tell me all about her day. She loves sharing with me about her classmates, what she learned and what new thing she did that day. She has been making new friends and learning so many new things. She knows how to write her name, which is a huge relief for me because I was not sure she would be able to with how long it is. I always enjoy hearing all about her school day.
Tonight is DATE NIGHT. As much as I love talking and sharing with my children, I enjoy alone time with Kevin even more. I am not sure what we are doing tonight, but really does it matter when you get to have two hours of alone time with your spouse? I used to get so uptight with always having a plan and I had to know exactly where we were going to be every minute of the date. Now, it just doesn't matter as long as I have Kevin to myself. :) With three young kids, these nights are few and far between, so we cherish the time we have together!
Really, a prediction of 6-10 inches of SNOW tomorrow. I have a HUGE bone to pick with the creator of the snow. Him and I...yeah we need to have a talk. My kids love it...I really dislike it. Here's hoping the storm just misses us...
