In general, every Thursday we try to go on a date. Usually it is for two hours or less, over a meal. A quiet meal. And we started at the end of last year trying to document the year in events, trials, victories, etc. books we read, places we visited, etc. It really is a great way to remember things we may otherwise forget. We usually start the list over our dinner and fill in some things on our own. We realized that we traveled a lot this year!
When we got home, I took my big 'ole boots off at the door, and Sophia put them on. Then Bella put on Sophia's boots, then I put another pair of my boots on Tobin, all for fun....it was hilarious, this is usually how we spend our evenings, laughing at (with, ahem) our kids.
