Saturday Ben spend most of the day working on a log banister/railing someone wanted him to make. Bug and Doodle help when they can- peeling the bark off the logs. After Doodle was working for a while, he went into the house- and came back out a few minutes later dressed like this:
Reason? He had to have on his "goggles" like dad. ;D What a silly goof! Yes! That's packing tape!
That afternoon- Roo and I got a date! This is something fun we do in our family- each week someone gets a date. One week, it's me and Roo, the next week, doodle and mom, the next week, bug and mom, then Ben and I get a date. Then it's Ben's turn with each of the kids. We started this just before Roo was born, and we've really enjoyed it. The kids get to decide what we will do on the date. We've done some fun things, movies, bowling, rock climbing, hiking, bike riding, dinner out. One of Roo's favorite dates is a trip to the zoo.
Here's pictures from Roo and my Date to Willow Park/zoo. We had a fun time seeing the animals, Roo's Favorite were the turtles, and the wallabies.
Looking at the Pronghorns. He posed for us.
Cute little capuchin monkey. They were fun to watch, climbing all over the cage.
My cute litle "Roo" looking at the Kangaroo's in the zoo....ok- so they were wallabies, not kangaroos- but still pretty cute!

that is a really good idea! We kinda started something like that but its that they get a date when they have earned points doing chores around the house!
That is a way cute idea! That gives the kids something fun to look forward to.
That is a really wonderful idea! I love your pictures.
What a fun idea...it's a great way to really get to know each other better.
Andrea I just love that idea. What a fun thing to do with your kids.
I agree w/ all the others this is a great idea. I've really been burdened lately about the boys being individuals & not always "the boys". I'm going to share this idea w/ DH.
