Another Date with Dad

Darryl has been a dating machine these past few days. :)  Today was Kade's lucky day; he was going to get a date with Dad today.  Well it snowed and snowed(it was about time) which caused the roads out of Heber to require chains or to be closed.  That left bowling, a movie, or eating out.  Ever since Darryl told them he was going to take them on a date Kade had switched his choice of destination about every hour.  He had picked Kamas Pool, Bowling, Chuck E Cheese, and Kangaroo Zoo.  Well the power ended up going out for about an hour so it wasn't looking like Kade was going to get to go on his date.  He was pretty down about it.  Darryl did fire up the snow blower for the first time which made the boys day!  Darryl would walk down the sidewalk and the boys(including Cole) followed right behind--so cute.  Kade would watch him clearing all the snow and just start clapping with excitement.  At one point I suggested to Darryl that he do another part first.  Darryl told me he was just going to blow it forward and he started doing that.  Kade looked at me and started clapping, "Pretty clever hu!"  He was so proud of his dad. :)  Love these moments.  Anyway, back to the date. . .  The power came back on while they were snow blowing and so they changed clothes and headed to the bowling alley.  Kade was so proud to report that he got a strike and a couple spares.  I think if you really asked him what the best part was it would be that he just got to hang out with Dad all by himself.

What a fun idea. Rob and I get our date nights but unfortuntely they seem few and far between. Susan still remembers going on her date to Up with Rob but where Grace was younger she hasn't gotten as many date nights. Something we're really trying to do in our home but it's so hard. Ideas on how you guys do it so successfully, I'd love to know!
