A night to remember......

Well we have had a "sick" month. From surgery, to flu, to ear infections, to strep then to the good old common cold, I am VERY happy to say that we are all better and are ready for summer to be here!!! Last night Mackenzie was invited to have a sleepover at her friends house so I decided I would take Coleman out on a date!! First of all we stayed in to eat the yummy stew I had in the crock pot. Then he took me to the mall and let me do a little shopping. After being dragged around the mall, we drove to get some ice cream and this was the conversation, "Mom, I am going to miss me when I grow up because I am such a fun little kid." "Look mom, there is a cloud that looks like dinosaur." "Mom, will you change the station because I don't really like this song." "Mom, I need $2.oo for my fieldtrip at school but you only need to give me $1.oo because I have this good luck penny in my pocket." "Mom, how long do I need to keep this golden ticket?" (referring to the receipt for the movie we just bought.) Then we got to Artic Circle and I told him I wanted to surprise him with the ice cream. He got so excited and he plugged his ears while I ordered. When he got the grape flavored vanilla ice cream cone, he was so happy with my choice that he almost didn't eat it because he just wanted to look at it! Then we got home and put a movie in, popped popcorn and had a "camp out" (yeah.....I camped out on the couch!). It was one of the best dates ever!! I love this little boy!!!
