Regan and I have been enjoying one on one time together while Kaylee is at school. This is new for us, and we LOVE it. We've been going to the library, grocery shopping, browsing through stores, or we spend the entire time she is away just snuggling on the couch. Today we got to enjoy lunch with friends! Regan was bouncing off the walls the entire time.

This happened not once, but thrice! And then the waitress brought him more! Sally said she must not have kids. I agreed.  Sally I hope lunch was mildly entertaining. Sorry about the soda on your feet.

Regan was quite happy to see the baby. He is now asking for a baby brother or sister. It makes me all gooey inside. He really can't decide which because, "girls are cute, but boys are fun".  He dose enjoy his WWE time with his boy cousins…..

Little man was very excited about his pizza. He kept randomly yelling, ""I so excited!" He ate half there, and then the other half in the car.

I thought briefly about taking him home for a quick nap before we needed to pick up Kaylee, but he was SO SO SO hyper. So I called Shannon to see if I could swing by and drop some stuff off, but she was not home.

So we went window shopping, and fell  in love with this too small hoodie. It was the only one in the store. Regan ran around in it for a bit and I took pictures so I can make one for him. He is super into Batman right now. And by right now I mean the last several months. And by into I mean obsessed.

As much as we  miss Kaylee, it sure has been lovely having one on one time with my little man.

Family date night.

I would like to start by saying that I didn't have my camera. (I will now hang my head in shame and cry.) I wanted to at least write it down since it was so fun. A couple weeks ago after Jon's health fiasco we got a note from Grandma Sapp. A card for Jon, and a note for Kaylee to be more precise. The note came with a twenty, and instructed Kaylee to take the family out for dinner. She was SO excited to plan out a family date night.

Kaylee indded planned it all out. She was so excited to take us to Red Robin. YUM. And were all looking forward to a night out. And then our plans got postponed a week. And patience is not a strong quality for an excited five year old. We herd about family date night every day leading up to it. So a week later when the day came she was almost bouncing out of her converse on the way to school.

Right after school, and I do mean right after we got buckled in and stuck in exiting traffic, Kaylee announces that she needs a toilet NOW. So instead of going home, and since we couldn't turn around to get back into the school we headed straight to Aunt Shannon's house and made it just in the nick of time! And then instead of going home we stayed to visit. Which is why Kaylee didn't get her outfit change, and I didn't have the camera for our family date night.

Why didn't we use our phones? In an effort to save money for our adoption fund we have downgraded our phones. They do take photos, but they are SUPER horrible.

Jon met us at Shannon's after work and we visited for a bit before heading out to dinner. Jon on the drive to Red Robin. YUM. decided we should also take the kiddos out to the movies. So after dinner we went and saw Planes. The kids did great! AND it was Regan's first movie theater experience. His eyes were bugging out of his little head taking it all in when we first arrived.

All in all it was a very successful and fun family date night. We are all looking forward to the next one.
