Tuesday's Treasure ~ Date Night

So last night we had date night. NOT me and Mr. C, but rather Missy and Me, Mr. C. and Bubba. This was an end of summer opportunity to spend quality time with each of our kids.

I let Missy choose what she wanted to do. Her choice, no joke was "I want to stay home for date night and watch a Barbie movie". Okay, that sounds easy, and fun.

Bubba and the Hubby, fulfilled one of Bub's dreams for the summer and went to Dodger Stadium for a game against the Diamond Backs. (gag, puke, cough, heart attack happening right here from the Angels fan family) His goal, was to just see a different stadium, sorta close by. So we were blessed by having a connection to a Diamond Back pitcher, and he got the boys seats with the players families. These are REALLY, REALLY nice seats behind home plate, or the dugout traditionally. He ate a Dodger dog (and didn't die!) They saw 5 home runs hit during the game, and most exciting was that they got to see a last minute baseball trade basically in action. You see, our pitcher connection actually got traded to the Dodgers during the 7th inning of the game! So now our friend, who last year actually WAS an Angel (yeah!), is now a Dodger. Bubba and Mr. C. were so excited to see it happening and be there for the live feed at the game. Baseball is wacky that way to trade mid season! Crazy, baseball factoid: he can't go home and move his stuff, because he is contracted to stay with the team. Guess his fiance is on her own for moving details!

Missy and I went shopping at one of our favorite stores of Target. When asked if she wanted to go out for dinner her response "No, I just want to stay home, and have Pot Stickers with rice." So we made dinner together, gave her a bath, got into jammies, and watched Barbie conquer the musical world. We made popcorn, cuddled on the couch, and topped the evening off with chocolate chip cookies. WE were in bed at a great time, a blessing to us both!

This morning the whole conversation between the two kids was how exciting their nights were. Two completely different nights, yet, two completely happy kids. Both were happy and excited for the other and how much fun they each had.

As for MY date night with hubby, thanks to my SIL and a sleep over with cousins, that is happening later this week!
