Date Time!

My total hip replacement surgery is tomorrow....it's cool, I'm cool, everything is cool. One of my priorities was to make sure I had dates with all three kids. I know that after surgery I'm going to tap into my selfishness and focus hard on my healing. I wanted to kids to feel important, and I just wanted to have fun with them! I let them pick our dates and we had fun!

Ryker chose to go to an escape room! WE both love escape rooms, and I feel like for the last few times we haven't been lucky to get out in time! HOW FRUSTRATING is that! But not this time! We got out with almost 15 minutes to spare! AND the coolest part is that we didn't ask for any despite Ryk asking me several times if we should:) NO RYKER, we got this!

AJ asked to go axe throwing! What a perfect date with two people who love to smack talk and competing! lol. AJ had some early beginner luck, and then I dominated! I do love that I don't let any of my kids win. When they beat me they can bask in the feeling that they ACTUALLY beat me! It was a great date and we of course enjoyed some ice cream afterwards because...everyone needs ice cream at 4pm!

Demps and I headed to Crackpots to paint! THANK goodness someone in my family wants to do these things! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE doing crafty/creative things! Demps is so focused and adorable when she is working on her pottery! We also have such a fun rhythm of how we do this since we have definitely frequented this place quite a bit!

Dates are so fun and so important for each of them to feel important, seen, loved and LIKE they matter:)
