It's Thursday :)
Last night was nice...Lloyd and I weren't in the mood for anywhere smart to eat so after a run into Home Depot for some timber...and a run into Michaels for a look around...we went to Swiss Chalet as it was close by.....we were shown to a really wobbly table in a not very nice location - we asked for a booth and they said their server hadn't shown up so they couldn't sit us there...they sat us in this corner table and then NO ONE came by to even ask us what we wanted to drink.....after a while Lloyd looked at me and said 'if they don't come over within two minutes we are going'...and no one did come over so we walked out......
I know they are short of staff everywhere but there were several people walking by, chatting and wiping tables so SOMEONE could have taken our drinks order.......
We then went to Boston Pizza..........got served straight away and had a yummy meal in a really casual setting.....I had Chicken Pad Thai which (considering it was just Boston Pizza) was really nice....
After that we ran into Safeway to pick up dessert and drove home.....
Nothing special for date night last night but it was just nice being together and chatting - and BOY did I need to chat last night.....Lloyd as always is full of common sense and great at calming me down and seeing things sensibly.....what would I do without him? Our date night isn't really about doing something special every time - sometimes its just about being together and child free for the evening...time to talk as we drive....time to just be.......the weather is improving so hpefully next time we can drive out and have a picnic somewhere - but ext week is Dans birthday and we are taking him to OPM or Joeys Global for dinner....
We came home and I finished off the album cover for my 'book of me'...so I am done with this months challenge.......
So today is Thursday.....Abigail is at preschool...I've done some laundry and have handwashed Susies Spring jacket which was YUCKY - no idea how she got it so dirty already......
I feel like scrapbooking so thats my plan for the morning...Dan is reading the third book of Mitch Alboms....he read 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' last night in one go and yesterday he finished Tuesdays with Morrie (my favourite) so this morning he started 'For One More Day'
Sam is eating toast right now and wtaching Treehouse and then I will get him out some crayons and stickers and some scissors to craft with......
Dan is going to make himself a burger for lunch - I got the ground beef out of the freezer last night......he is going to make a burger from scratch....then cook it....then we are going to use up the rest of the beef by making meatballs to freeze and making a cottage pie for dinner tonight! He's really excited about learning to cook all of this!
Tonight Dan is helping Lloyd with the dog run - they think they will get it finished tonight....so thats good! Half of the run is in the trees and half is in open land....plenty of shade in summer and protection from the wind when its colder - they will come inside at night probably.......they will be so much safer in there though during the day than running free everywhere.
Tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous weather so we will head out to Fort Edmonton or the Zoo or somewhere.....then Friday night Dan is going to the party in Edmonton.....it got moved forward a day....he is crashing there and we will pick him up on Saturday although I think he said he plans to go to Whyte Ave to do some clothes shopping.....
Then Sunday is Mothers Day and I still have no idea what we will do...but we will do something for sure.....what are you all up to the next few days?
