4th of July, Part 1

For the first date, we got ready for Independence Day! We had dinner and then painted shirts. I had put a little kit together with red, white, and blue paint, sponges, grey t-shirts (even a onesie), and sparklers to play with afterwords.

Dave was inspired by the shape of the sponge and made flags blowing in the wind on the backs of the shirts. We decided to make them all match and really liked the way they turned out! And then we had Red, White, and Blue ice cream for dessert!

The Beginning

Dave and I LOVE each other and most of the time we feel like we are still on our Honeymoon, but we haven't been as good lately about going on dates regularly, especially since "The Steedling" was born eight months ago. We also haven't been the best at getting back to the Temple every month either. So I decided to make it happen. We will be going on a date EVERY week, and to the Temple EVERY month.

For Father's Day 2010, I gave Dave a "Can of Dates" and a can of "Temple Treats". Every Sunday for the next year he will pick a "date" out of the can for the next week (or once a month a "treat" out for after the Temple.) I will then pick a day that works best for that particular date and plan away. The only exceptions are holiday weeks. Those dates are already planned out, so he won't pick one then!!

I think he liked the idea, and we get started this week!! Here are pictures of the cans!
