Date Night With the Boys

 I took the two older boys out on a date on Monday after school. I tried taking them out separately starting with Zander the previous Saturday, but we never made it to the spot I wanted to take him. We ended up driving around for two hours and getting stuck in a parking garage. It was raining and getting dark, so we abandoned our plans and went home. But not before stopping at Iceberg to get a shake. Zander really wanted a cake batter shake. They were out. So he decided on a strawberry shake. They were out. So he settled for a plain vanilla shake to end our day. I wasn't too happy with how things turned out, but after getting home and getting ready for bed Zander thanked me for taking him out. I was touched. Even though the evening didn't go to plan he still had a good time and was grateful to have gotten ice cream and spent time with me.

So we tried again on Monday with Lucas and the three of us went back to Ogden to Le Crepery for some over-the-top milk shakes and they did not disappoint! Lucas got Nutella and Zander chose Churro. I really enjoyed my time with the boys. I have such great kids! I got to ask them some questions. Most of them the same and a couple different.
