Li’l Smockity #4 recently had her chance at date night with Mom.
She chose a Chinese buffet.
Notice her dining choices. Vanilla pudding. Chocolate pudding. Vanilla/chocolate pudding swirl. And an ice cream cone. We’re all about making healthy choices here in Smockityville.
After dinner, we went to a “paint your own pottery” shop where she picked out a piggy bank to paint.
An artist takes her work very seriously.
A few days later, the pottery store called to tell us the piggy bank was ready for pick up.
We had a fabulous time and she loves having her piggy to remind her of our special night.

What a great way to make your kids feel special. I hope to do this with the boys when they get older.
How fun! I went out with each of my girls at different times this week because it was 'needed.' How often to you go out with yours?
Love those pottery places!
It looks like she had a really great time. 
I will be taking my 11 year old son out on Monday, thanks to you! He has been agonizing for days about his choice of restaurant but I think he has settled on Pizza Hut. Sounds good to me! He kept asking me where I would like to go, but I refused to give any clues. the next two already know they want to go to Burger King. (they have a play area)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Nicki, Every month a different child gets a turn.
Looks like a really fun night. I think it is awesome to find time to do something special with each of our children. We try to spend special time with the kids every week. check out my blog http://www.carribear0620.blogspot.com
Looks like you all had a wonderful evening. What a great idea to have a date night!
