Elizabeth

Date with Dad – Elizabeth decided that she and Dad would be going to Pei Wei to eat chicken and noodles on their date.  She was so excited!  Dad picked her up from school and they ate at the restaurant – just the two of them.  This picture shows how pleased she was to be on a date with Dad.  They had such a great time that they decided to continue their date at Cherry Berry with some frozen yogurt.  Yum!  She still talks about her sprinkles and ice cream just about every other day and how Dad let her get it.  Mom is now looking forward to next month’s date with E since she has such great taste!

Family outing – We had lots of family events already planned this month and we were supposed to go to a Drillers game for E’s special choice.  It looks like it will happen in May now as we were all just too tired to go on the night we had planned.  We’ll catch up next month!

Ben

Date with Mom – Ben selected mini golf for his date with Mom.  We picked a Saturday morning to go and had the course mostly to ourselves.  It was so much fun!  Ben really enjoyed a place he had never been and also learned some of the rules and etiquette of the game.  Rule #1 – Don’t leave Mom in your dust when you finish your turn but she is still putting.  :)  Mom even sneaked in some treats and we enjoyed a few candies while we played.  We will definitely be back and Ben has actually already been back with Grandma and Grandpa.  I think it will be a favorite spot for him this summer.

Family project – Ben chose a marble maze to construct as a family project during April.  We had seen it in Family Fun magazine and it looked like something we could tackle.  The day we were going to build it, a package came for Ben in the mail with new Wii games that he had ordered with his Christmas money.  So we gave him the choice and the Wii won out.  We have had difficulty rescheduling and it was offered again to him today.  His response “But it is May now.  That is an April coupon.  I think we might just have to play Wii instead.”  Mom reassured him that the coupon would still be honored even though it was “expired”.  He is now considering when he might work it in to his busy schedule!  It may be something that is tabled for now, but the supplies are ready when it is time.
