Some of my favorite memories growing up are Friday nights in the summer with my mom. My dad and brother would typically go to the races and my mom and I would go shopping--sometimes fun shopping, sometimes just grocery shopping, and do dinner out. Our favorite was getting take out from Long John Silver's and renting a movie to watch.
This past Friday, Mark went to Indy for the NCAA Final Four festivities so I decided it was a perfect night to introduce Grace to Mommy/Daughter date nights. I picked her up from school and we went to Michael's. Then we did a trip through the car wash which Grace LOVES! I decided that Long John Silver's is a little to greasy for Grace (let's be honest--it's too greasy for all of us!) so instead we went to McAlister's Deli. We had so much fun. We sat on the same side of the booth. Grace had a grilled cheese, applesauce, and chocolate milk (for the first time!). I realized while we were that what a sponge she has become. I got nacho chips and cheese sauce. I was dipping my chips and eating them when I noticed that Grace started dipping her grilled cheese in her applesauce before eating it. Wow--we have to be careful what we do in front of her! After dinner we did a Target trip. It was the perfect first date night :-)
