Yesterday my beautiful sis (who has more energy than I) agreed to take Hannah and Natalie for the evening so I could take Noah on a special date. So, last night after I got off work Noah, D., and I went to Eugene where we went to a ice cream parlor that I used to go to as a kid, and to the Terwilliger Hotsprings. Noah had a blast!

The ice cream parlor was just as neat as I remembered. Noah had a delicious hot fudge devils' cake sundae and we had the most rich and smooth shakes that I've ever had. (yum!)

Afterwards, we drove to Terwilliger where we found a posted sign that said the water temp was only recorded at 87 degrees, but we decided " what the heck, let's try it anyway!" Once we got there and all dressed down into our shorts, we climbed into water that while I wasn't completely impressed with (I like it HOT)... Noah thought it was absolutely great! We spent about an hour and a half just sitting, goofing around, and talking. We had a great time.

When we got back to the car I made Noah a comfy bed of pillows and down comforter; he fell asleep promptly after the car started. (lol)

I want to do this with sort of date thing with each of my kids. Give them a time to hang with mom with no other siblings.
