30 Day Challenge~ Day 27 ~ Impromptu Date Night with a Special Man

Tuesday nights are not normally a date night for us. We are usually running kids to activities, helping with homework, and getting ready for the next day. Tonight, however, practice was cancelled and my husband made an appointment at the Apple store for them to check his malfunctioning iPod. We tried to get a babysitter for a last minute date, but couldn’t. We ended up taking our oldest boy, leaving our in-house babysitter with the toddler. i{It’s best to leave her with just one boy rather than two.}/ibr /br /I’ll be honest and tell you that they could not fix the iPod and we decided to replace it. Remember how I told you that my husband was the incredible shrinking man? My husband has been working out for the last three months and as an alternate to his workouts he runs. He relies on his iPod to track his distance and time as well as listening to music or podcasts while he’s running. As a matter of fact, it was while he was running that it stopped working. He recently got paid for somenbsp;voice overnbsp;work that he did and that covered the cost of the replacement iPod.br /br /Afterwards we decided that since we were on a date with our son, we would take him out to dinner. Our firstborn son is a middle child and he rarely gets time alone with mom and dad, let alone dinner without his siblings.br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M9KoToVYewk/ToJuwbXA2OI/AAAAAAAAAqg/axGWF399DUg/s1600/IMAG0459.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”img border=”0″ height=”320″ src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M9KoToVYewk/ToJuwbXA2OI/AAAAAAAAAqg/axGWF399DUg/s320/IMAG0459.jpg” width=”240″ //a/divbr /br /We let him choose the restaurant. He decided Chili’s i{which is odd since we rarely eat there}/i. I got a Bacon Ranch Quesadilla with Chicken. Which was okay. I saved some for our in-house babysitter who was obviously disappointed that she was not with us.br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MLOt2GdMlTI/ToJvHQWq_pI/AAAAAAAAAqk/GVNanlsf9LE/s1600/IMAG0460.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”img border=”0″ height=”191″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MLOt2GdMlTI/ToJvHQWq_pI/AAAAAAAAAqk/GVNanlsf9LE/s320/IMAG0460.jpg” width=”320″ //a/divbr /nbsp;We surprised our son and got my favorite dessert. Chocolate lava molten cake i{or something like that name}/i.br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PPvlrv-anGE/ToJvdSJhpnI/AAAAAAAAAqo/vo8OAdxxLTw/s1600/IMAG0461.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”img border=”0″ height=”191″ src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PPvlrv-anGE/ToJvdSJhpnI/AAAAAAAAAqo/vo8OAdxxLTw/s320/IMAG0461.jpg” width=”320″ //a/divdiv class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”br //divMy son practically inhaled that cake! We had to tell him to slow down several times i{he was like a vacuum}/i! My husband and I had to be pretty quick in order to get a few bites in. We figured he ate about half that cake while me and my hubby got about a quarter each. That’s what you get when you share food with a growing boy!br /a href=”http://www.aghdesigns.com/images/blogs/siggy4.png” target=”_blank”img alt=”Anna” border=”0″ src=”http://www.aghdesigns.com/images/blogs/siggy4.png” //a
