She loved having the choice of anything at the food court. Big Sister enjoyed two tacos from Taco Bell.  I had a chicken cheese steak at Charley's.  After dinner we used the bathroom. Again.  We left the mall and went to Dick's Sporting Goods in hopes of finding softball pants for Big Sister that fit.  We struck out since she's still so small, but we did buy baseball socks for her and Brother.

We ended our night eating ice cream with peanut butter topping with the family.

When asked about her favorite part of the night, I was amazed when she said making butter in her class.  The whole afternoon and evening were special for us!  She needed the extra attention and appreciated guiding the evening's events.

The next morning I took my younger two children to a different used book store.  They weren't nearly as eager for it which just goes to show when we take our kids on dates, we need to make sure it is special for the child!

What do you do on dates with your children?
