Yesterday, Hudson and I went with his Grandma and Grandpa to a car show. Not something that we typically do, but it was nice to get out and do something together and enjoy the nice day outside. Andy had to work, so we left him behind with nothing but a long face.
We were gone for the entire afternoon. While we were away, rather than go to work he stayed home and got some stuff done that we wanted to do before the house sells, like some trims and mouldings. I came home to sing his praises.
Even with the pat on the back, he still looked a bit bent out of shape. I asked him what's up.
All the while we were gone he was upset about how we went to something cool; and yet again, he was left behind to work (his choice). He misses how we never do anything fun together anymore, we don't even go to the movies anymore.
I see.
He's right. What do you do when your old lifestyle consisted mostly of places that do not allow minors? And going to the movies, that's not baby appropriate either.
I think maybe I should plan for a sitter and go to dinner and a movie, just the two of us.
This morning I was Googling looking for ideas and checking out community events, thinking that there may be things out of the norm to do around here on the weekend. Nothing but Hockey Camps.
What to do?
Maybe we should just take the travel trailer out this coming weekend, and leave it at that. Do any of you have any fun ideas that you can think of?

Funny that he should feel that way when he gets to get out and do all kinds of fun stuff while Hudson and Mommy have to stay home. (He doesn't read this does he? Love you Andy!).
ReplyDeleteRuby just went for an overnighter at her Grandma's house and Steve and I went out for some drinks and then the two of us went golfing the next day. It was really fun and we both really needed it. Do you golf at all? What about a pitch 'n' put or something? Or do 9 holes somewhere with a cart (and cocktails). It's quite refreshing and great for the relationship.
Thanks for the idea... I know he would love it. Myself, I do not have the least bit of patience for a true game of golf... but the pitch 'n putt might be the ticket. I'll run the idea past him tonite!
