A Date & Some Treasures

Hi! Remember me? I got my computer back. {I'll pause for a moment of applause}

I think we are all aware I have 4 kids. It can make it difficult to spend one on one time with them if Hubby and I aren't very intentional about it.

Alone time is super important to my oldest. He's a thinker, likes quiet {something that is absent from this house} and I think he sometimes feels trapped in this crazy household.

Let's face it, who doesn't feel that way from time to time.

When I had the chance to sweep him away for a mini date I jumped on it. 

Louis Zamperini was coming to speak at school so I decided to take W with me. Louis was great, but that was not the best part of the evening.

{did I mention when I upgraded my phone software I lost all my contacts and 600 pics of my kids? I may or may not have cried, and now you are stuck with screen shots for today.}

This was the best part. A Starbuck's homework date. We sat and had snacks together. He did homework, I memorized song lyrics. A perfect afternoon. I love this picture of him. I think it captures him so well. my sweet little man.

Later in the week I got some time to myself {thanks Mom} so of course I headed straight to the antique store. Groceries can wait.

I picked up these little treasures that I think I could stare at all day. Is that weird?

Come back tomorrow and link up for 'we encourage"
