A date with the cutest guy in town

In the past week I have taken time to have mommy and me time. I took Adelhei on her first shopping trip as just her and mommy. We made a whole day out if it. It was really fun to see her get excited over things she never really cared about. She of course LOVED the shoes dept and hallmark lol. I just can't wait for those days when we can just go get hair and nails done together. It kills me to see how big she is getting ,but I'm also extremely excited about it as well. I just hope by the time prom rolls around she and I are NOTHING like my mother and I were. That was horrible lol. Mom only went to the discount racks and her taste and mine were NOTHING alike. But we served with no injuries.But time will only tell for me and miss Addie Lou.
After I had spent my day with Addie it was time for Kiahs mommy and me time. So yesterday after the whole family spent the day out and about together we took daddy and sister home and got ready for what Kiah calls his mommy date. I wouldn't tell him where we were going. We loaded up, stopped at the store for a special treat (a sprite) lol and headed to Iron Mountain. I still wouldn't tell him what we were doing. We entered the building and begin walking to where my big surprise was. We walked through a wonderland type tunnel with Christmas lights above our heads and he was getting really excited. "Mommy what is this" We turned the corner to be greeted by two big real life nutcrackers and his jaw dropped lol. They escorted us to our seats and I could see the excitement in his eyes. He watched everything around him. The stage,the people everything. Then another surprise, Sydnii,Robert,Petey,and Angel were there. They announce it is starting and he climbs in my lap for a better view. The building goes dark and I feel him tense a little and he leans back and says "Mom its really dark,I cant see anything" I tell him just hang on and then the lights come back on and the opening scene from Imagine Christmas the Crossing Christmas Play begin. He sat so still watching and taking it all in. Well then a few scenes later they had a stomp routine with drummers beating on metal pans and big metal barrels and while they played there was a snowball fight. This kid didn't move except to bob his head to dance or to stretch to see better. Towards the end he got a little restless because the play had slowed down and reached its serious part. Afterwards the whole cast lined the tunnel and he went through telling EVERY cast member Merry Christmas Guys!!! We got outside and he yells "MOM THAT WAS AWESOME, THE BEST DATE EVER" I asked him well Kiah what was your favorite part and he says "Oh the drums for sure, they were so cool and they were throwing things at each other lol. He talked the whole way home about it and ran inside so excited to tell daddy. He brought Josh a program as a gift and sat in his lap and told him everything about our night.
I just wish my kids would always be so excited about spending time with mom, but I know that just as soon as those hormones kick in I can kiss it all goodbye. Oh well I will enjoy it while it last
