As one of our goals this year Spencer and I have been making a full out effort with spending time with at least Evan and Megan on a one on one basis this year. We rotate months...so this month is Spencer's turn and he'll go on a date with Megan and then Evan for an hour. We have it scheduled on the calendar so we don't forget and we have a list of ideas that we can choose from as well as a small budget for the activity ($10).
We try to remember that it isn't exactly what we do together as long as the one on one time is there and it is spent together. We have an uninterrupted to talk and share feelings, ask questions and get to know each other better.
This last Tuesday we must admit that it kinda snuck up on us but Spencer and Megan made these beauties at home....
What you can't smell and taste from this picture is that they are mint chocolate chip cookies and they tasted divine! Megan took a bunch to school the next day to share with her friends. She said they all loved them and asked where she bought them from.
In March Megan and I went out for some Sushi. It was delish and we hung out and played some boggle. I went with Evan to A&W for some root beer floats and he picked out some toys that were on sale at Wal-Mart. As we enjoyed our floats we read from his school book together. These are wonderful memories in the making.
