Thursday Is Date Night

During lunch, while most of my kids were at school and the others were in their rooms, playing with their Blue's Clues toys, me and Pablo were talking. He thought that we should have a a date night every Thursday. We already go to the temple fifteen or twenty times a month, but he thought we needed more other dates, however fun it may be to visit the temple. So, we decided to make date night Thursday, because we like the sound of it. It's very soothing. Thuuurrrrrrsssdaaaaayyyeeeee. Ahhh.

So, while I got ready, I looked through my closet, and found my cutest beige ankle-length dress, and my gray cardigan, with off-white shoes to match! I looked so cute. I said "Pablo, honey, let's gooo!" and he said "Okay, Sally!" but, when we got in our minivan, we realized we didn't even know where we were going. So, we decided to go to a Olive Garden. We went there, and ordered seven kiddy menus, because we are used to doing that because we have seven children who we often go to Olive Garden with because it bonds our family. I didn't want to be pushy and get real menus, so me and my husband (did you know that his name is Pablo?) decided to split a cheeseburger. We thought that it was very romantic. The cheese was sooo... gooey.

Morning

This morning,  woke up to my alarm clock my husband bought me. It wakes you up with music first before the alarm. So, I chose my Tabernacle Choir CD, so I can wake up to "Love Is Spoken Here". It was very beautiful, but then my baby, Billy Ben, woke up and started crying. So, while I was changing his diaper, we got to listen to gospel music together! It was very touching. Then, I fed him his baby food. It was apple, a new flavor for him. I love watching my baby discover new foods. While he ate, I read him his picture book about David and the lions.

Ethel and I Played at The Park Today And It Was Fun Also She Wants a Pet Turtle

Today, while the rest of the kids were out with my husband, Pablo, I said "Pablo, honey, can I take Ethel to the park today? You know she wouldn't be interested in seeing sumo wrestling. She saw it on television and said it was gross". Then he saiid "Okay, Sally (because my name is Sally!)" so I took Ethel to the park and we played in the sand box together. I think it was great for her to spend some time alone with me. Then I drove home at 7 miles per hour.
