Makes my Monday - date night and a great party.


Playing along with Cheryl as on every Monday.

A great night out - just perfect! We had such a great date night on Friday and promptly decided to do it more often. We saw "Earth" - great to see it on the big screen and such a moving message. Then we went to our favorite late night restaurant, Crawdaddy's and had a great meal. The food is really great and we had such a great time actually talking and listening to each other. No big issues discussed, just great small talk. Food for the soul and relationship.
********************************
Miss Emma had her 6th birthday party on Saturday at a great venue - we have never been there before and I was really pleasantly surprised. Rocky Ridge Mini town is a cute little town, complete with streets, traffic signs, working lights, a town square with fountain and traffic lights and tri-cycles and scooters to ride around in.

The town square with the restaurant and drive through and the chapel in the background. Also featuring:

A police station with cells - inside was a radio, telephone, police uniforms, fire mans uniforms etc.

A school (on the left) complete with desks, blackboard etc and a B&B on the top with kitchen, bedroom etc.

Got to love the school's colours.

A hospital with sick dolls and lots of equipment including doctors and nurses outfits.

The restaurant and drive-through has a well equipped kitchen and cute table settings.

Miss Emma was the first chef in charge.

Her first customers.

A farm with a windmill, dam and some fresh produce.

In the chapel was a wedding dress and dolls in Christianing gowns, a pulpit and font.

Very tongue-in-cheek, based on the time my kids spent in the little town, we will one day have:


An engineer/ contractor/ architect...... or maybe a farmer.

A doctor or nurse or some form of health professional.

And a teacher! She spent so much time teaching some of the other kids in the school. 3 of her 4 grandparents were teachers so I guess it is in the blood.

And just because I love them so much:

Leo

Chris

Anne.
I'm blessed!

  8. That looks like so much fun! how whimsical!!

    So nice that you two got out on a date night...we need one SOOOO Badly but have been so busy and the kids just seem so needy lately that there just doesn't seem to be any opportunity for it. :-(

    You had asked about Adam sleeping - he's been a bit better...down to only 1x a night for the most part now and I've stopped feeding him in hopes of getting him back to sleeping. His being sick was a bit of a set back...but hopefully within a week or two we'll be sleeping all night again *hopefully*

    ...I noticed you started using the kids' names on the blog....
