A favorite podcast mentioned parenting resolutions for the new year. I have one this year - get my boys set up with good schools for next years big change. (High school and middle school!)
Following up on a small parenting success. Two years ago when Tyrone started working we made a resolution/plan to take our kids out on regular dates. (Every other week, one parent, one kid.) We were perfect up until baby came and since then we've had to be a little more flexible. But it's still happening.
To quote Tyrone, "Individually the kids are heavenly, collectively they are a nightmare :-)". I love hanging out with my kids one on one. They are heavenly!
The top date hang out is still Fresh Berry's down town. But any burrito place followed by ice cream will do. Sometimes it really official with a time and place scheduled days before. Sometimes its a quick dash from school for a fast food lunch, sometimes it's just dinner on the way home from a tournament or swim meet. Sometimes it's bowling, or the bluegrass festival or a play.
Taye and I went out for dinner at Chuck's one Friday after swim practice. It's a funky hamburger restaurant down town owned by a popular Raleigh chef. I had the burger with roasted beets, wisconsin buttermilk blue cheese, red onion and endive. Taye's burger had smoked pork shoulder, sea island red pea chili, crispy tobacco onions and roasted tomato malt vinegar. Taye's the perfect date for a restaurant like this!

ReplyDeleteI love Tyrone's quote-- that is too funny. Before you know it your children will have children of their own and you can have a few laughs, too! nana
