Two Dates in Two Days with my Two Loves !!

So Stephen and I have been super busy lately.
Stephen hasnt had a day off in the last two weeks and I've been working a ton of overtime lately, I know I previously blogged about this, so I wont bore anyone with the details, but because of my guilt about the busyness, I decided it was time to take my husband and my son out on dates !
Wednesday Night Stephen and I went to South Jordan to run some errands and go to the movies.
We always go to the movies at The District in South Jordan, we go there because they have huge theatres, they have lots of different places to eat so you can take your chinese food, or whatever it is you decide to eat AND there seats are memory foam, so its really comfortable !
We saw Forbidden Kingdom, which I thought was lame, but it was nice that it was just the two of us.
I dont remember the last time it was just the two of us, we always seem to take my younger siblings, or go out with people, we never just take the time for us, so it was a nice night.





Thursday was a day for Mana and I.
I decided to take off from work and spend some time with Mana.
We meet Jenny and Carlos at Kangaroo Zoo, which is a playarea place that has about 10 different blow up bouncy castle things, and it was alot of fun !



Mana was a little apprehensive at first, and it didnt take him long to start jumping around and sliding.
It was cute, he had the best time !!
Mana had the HUGEST grin on his face the whole time, I loved seeing my son enjoying himself so much.
A big thank you to Jenny for taking Mana on the big slide and pretty much everything, it was a little hard to manuoever on those things with my big belly.
We spent a couple of hours there, with the boys running and playing and just having a blast.
Then Mana and I went over to Maggie Moos for ice-cream.
It was empty so it was just the two of us, which made it that much nicer for me.
For me, a mum who works full time, this was the BEST way to spend the day.
I very rarely get to take our son out to do things just for him.
Usually on weekends we run errands, visit with friends or family, or clean the house.
So for me to spend time with Mana, doing something he loved, was I think a more special day for me than it was for him.
