Sunday January 27th, 2008
The yogurt from the new natural frozen yogurt shop was expensive, far too expensive for a snack. And, it stormed this afternoon, the rain coming across sideways in the wind. I would have rather been home on a Sunday afternoon, in sweats with a warm cup in my hands.
But I took her anyways, to the shop where you can serve yourself. She pulled the lever on the yogurt to fill her cup halfway, and then she moved to the island of toppings. She walked around twice before she took one spoonful of at least 5 different cereals, sprinkles and fruits.
I took her because I knew she would love it; I knew she would talk about it after we left. I might not have: she had a bout of 6-year-old whining and wailing after church today. But, we went regardless. And she did talk about it, all the way home.
This is the coolest ever, Mom. Thanks.
Thank you, honey, for being my reason to do things I may not feel like doing. Thank you for making it worth it. You, are my cherry on top.
What a fun Sunday afternoon date with Hope! I think it is wonderful that you take the time to have some alone time with her. I need to be more focused about doing those dates with Morgan. They enjoy it, remember, and treasure it. Thanks for the reminder!
Your header looks awesome! Isn’t it fun to do special things for your kids, knowing how much they will enjoy it?
Yummy…looks good! Love your new blog picture up top too!
How sweet! I love the cherry on top quote—what a great mom you are to both of your girls.
May that memory be forever etched on Hope’s mind.

I love kid dates, and don’t do them often enough. There are times when we just have to stop and look at our kids needs and see, they are needing their own space and time with one of us. They are needing to be reminded of who they are to us, we are needing to be reminded of who they are to us.
I love your new header!
Those special little things we do with our kids are the things they remember when they are older. I’m glad you take time for those one on one times – you won’t regret it.
I love the thought of treating them when they don’t really deserve it. It sounds like the two of you had fun!
That yougurt looks so delicious!
