Maybe I'm going through date-night withdrawals?? I decided the other night to take the boys out for a date, and I'm one lucky girl because I had two of the cutest dates around. Mom and Dad agreed to watch Aubrey, and the boys and I hopped into the car. The first part of our date was Baskin-Robbins ice cream. Here's a little known fact: I worked at this very same Baskin-Robbins for a total of two days. Back in like 1999. I hated it. But I love their ice cream! The boys picked out bubble gum, one of the few ice creams I absolutely despise. The ice cream is bright pink (think pink teeth, tongues, lips, mouths...) and whenever they came across a piece of gum, they would spit it out onto a napkin to save for the end. They even counted each piece of slobbery gum, something around 20 pieces each. I was happy with a chocolate-peanut butter scoop. What's a date without ice cream? Ours was perfect. 
Our next stop was to Barnes and Noble. I had a Groupon for $20 for books and I decided to let each of them go and pick out their own favorite books. Roman picked out two Lego books - one Lego City and one Lego Kingdoms. Legos are their current obsession and they are saving their money for the Lego Kingdom castle, which is only $120...they might be saving for awhile! Hayden picked out the next four books in his Magic Treehouse series. He now has books 1-12, and I just learned the series has a total of 45, although Hayden assures me he's read #100. Not sure that one is true.
