Wednesday evening, the kids and I surprised Nick with a picnic. He loves eating outdoors, and well...I just don't. :(
BUT - because Nick was leaving on Thursday for a short trip for work, I decided I should do something special for him. So, I made his favorite meal, cavatini (I think it has been 6 or 7 months since I've made it! oops!) and cooked carrots. Threw in some juice boxes, strawberries, and some bread and we had ourselves a sweet little picnic!
I told him a few little "lies" so that it would be a surprise. First, I made sure he'd be home right on time, so I told him I had a chiropractor appt. and I needed him home promptly to be with the kids....Then I started running behind so I quick made a call and pretended to need butter from Walmart...THEN I wanted to be sure he'd see his note to meet us at the state park that we had taped on the garage door, so I told him our garage door was making funny noises so he shouldn't push the button as he was coming down the road. :) hehe....
Here they are, anxiously awaiting daddy's arrival...
Still waiting....
Our feast
AND....guess what? I actually REALLY enjoyed it! :) It helped that the weather couldn't have been more perfect! ;)

Thanks for the nice date, honey.You do a good job of keeping things fun around here. If I can muster up an ounce of creativity, I will probably plan a surprise for you before too long. But don't expect it!
