Date with Hunter

Josh and I have talked about taking our kids out on one on one dates for a long time. We had some friends in Logan who did it with some great results. Our lives are so crazy lately that it just seems like it is easy to put these little dates off and never do them. The other day I had to go and exchange something at the mall and I had picked Hunter up from preschool and dropped Lincoln off at Kindergarten, so Hunter hadn't eaten lunch yet. I decided that the time had come for our date. McKay got to tag along. Hunter decided that he wanted at corn dog from "Hot Dog on a Stick" and I definitely wasn't going to pass up a chance to go to "The Corner Bakery." I have been dreaming about it since I went in D.C.
Oh their Chicken Pesto sandwich is TO DIE FOR! Any way so we both got our meal of choice and we sat down to eat together. It was such a priceless half an hour with my little Hunter. He told me his thoughts about the world, his best friends, his likes and dislikes. He is loving "Star Wars the Car Wars" right now. I think that is "Star Wars the CLONE Wars, "but ya know, whatever. I have decided that the only MUST while I am on a date with one of my boys is that I find something out about them that I didn't know before.  So that can take a lot of questions, since I know quite a lot about them already :)
His personality is amazing. He is so happy and so sensitive. He is always finding fun random things to do. And is all around a delightful boy to be around. I am so glad that he is my little buddy.
McKay is getting is some teeth right now (or I should say still), and they are almost in. He is so miserable. The poor boy has definitely had a rough time of teething. But he was pretty happy on our little outing. We picked the WORST seat in the whole place as it was right by the door and any time that anyone opened it our whole lunch tried to blow away. We both just laughed and would grab everything that could fly away every time the door opened (which was a ton, I suppose we could have moved...)
Hunter wanted to take my picture...couldn't figure it out at first.  I took all of the pictures with my phone as I didn't have my camera with me.  Whoever thought of putting a camera on a phone should be given some sort of award.  Like a big one... Nobel Peace Prize?
Can I just tell you that my bangs are HORRIBLE right now. They are totally limp and awful. Just unmanageable I tell you. I even try to do them and always end up yanking them into a bobby pin. LAME!

On a positive note, I have the best boys and I am so happy to be their mom. I am now excited to take the other two out for their "dates." Lincoln learned to tie his show a while back and we promised to take him to a movie if he accomplished his goal...coming soon!
