Dinner with Daddy

Ellie came to me 3 1/2 weeks ago and asked me "Mommy, would you please take care of Josie on the third Saturday so Daddy and I can go eat at the Olive Garden restaurant?" She came up with the idea all on her own and insisted that they only go "on the third Saturday"! She talked about all it the time and told us which Saturday was coming up each weekend. As the third Saturday approached, she reminded me daily that I was to watch Josie so it could be "just me and Daddy". When the day finally arrived, she was so excited! Eric snuck out that morning and bought her flowers and a little box of chocolates to give to her before their big "date".





They had a great time and Eric did a good job setting up the bar high for when the time comes for Ellie to go on any real dates!
