Date Night by Candlelight

Brent was out of town this week with Thing 1 ~~sleeping on the ground (He he!)~~ at Boy Scout Camp.

So it was just Thing 2 and I for most of the week. Not unlike our road trip in April.

Tuesday night, instead of going to taekwondo I decided we should take the night off to spend some special time together. Thing 2 and I decided to dress up (the tie was his idea), cook, and have a candlelight dinner together.

We decided to document the occasion.

We almost got mommy.

There’s mommy looking a little frazzled but what else is new!

Meow Cow peeked out of ~~my closet~~ his fortress to see what all the fuss was about.

Thing 2 set the table….

…and lit the candle.

I grilled the steak.

Why yes! That is a Gymboss on my belt. Who needs a kitchen timer? Grill intervals anyone?

Then we sat down for our dinner of steak, roasted potatoes, and salad.

What can I say? He’s a man of ~~picky~~ fine taste.

We popped open a bottle of water kefir.

And enjoyed ourselves.

These are memories I want burned into my ~~brain~~ heart forever.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

Gym boss, body bugg, satin dress, BBQ. It all makes perfect sense to me!

Such a SWEEET post! I love that you did this. I love Thing 2’s squishy little face. I love (LOVE) your dress. I adore that you wore your gymboss.

  That dress is one I got from express over 14 years ago! I just added the little bow belt to dress it up.
