Date nights are pretty rare around here. Especially now that Paul work 12 hours shifts Monday - Saturday.
So last night I lit some candles.
Zoe and I cleaned the house.
Music was playing softly in the background.
Dinner was ready and waiting.
His girls smelled pretty in their favorite perfumes.
We watched a movie that HE was interested in.
We enjoyed a piece of chocolate silk cheesecake together.
In-Home Date Night was all about Paul! I wanted him to be able to unwind and really enjoy his family. While I was getting the kids' plates ready I watched/listened to him wrestle with Zoe and Max. I should have taken a video or picture! I will never forget how happy they all looked, though. I love moments like that!
After Paul left for work this morning I stumbled to the bathroom...that is when I found this note on the bathroom mirror. It warmed my heart! It made my day.
Those "love is" cartoon people are still around??? Who knew? They were the popular thing 40 years ago, back when Uncle Steve and I started dating. I haven't seen them in years. I recognize the font on the "love is" and the couple in the cartoon frame haven't aged like Uncle Steve and I have! No fair. ;-)
