We are victims of weekend TV-watching. It needed to end, hence the date jar:
A peanut butter jar, Popsicle sticks, scrapbook paper, creative date ideas, and some color-coding for price-levels (Blue is free or nearly-free, green is under $30, and red dips into savings), and date night is forever planned. Joe is a good sport.
YAYAYYYYYYY ! Michelle is back! I can only see 1″ of the picture though! I missed you! Hope you had fun over the holidays and I absolutely LOVE the Wayne Osmond Family picture!!! In fact, I just love the whole Wayne Osmond family! Take care my dear friend – and keep on posting and we will keep on reading!!!!
Thanks Cheryl! You’re sweet! Hope you are well, and I’ll do my best to keep on posting!
We need ideas as to what we can do on date nights, so I clicked on the link, “creative date ideas.” Do you guys randomly pick a stick or is it allowed to look at them all first? I was thinking of having only dates that I wanted to do and then have your dad blindfolded while he picked one. Ha! Just kidding. Love and miss you! Great idea for us because we’re boring. Of course you know that already.
Mom, this made me laugh! Yep, I make Joe choose an activity randomly. He has to pick the right color for how much we’re going to spend that week though, so it’s not completely blind. You are not boring! I think you guys are fun! Miss you both lots!
Great idea Michelle. I have done something similar for a job jar but my DH was not too thrilled. lol I’m sure this idea will be more welcome. Often we will want to do something but can’t think of anything on the spur of the moment. I haven’t seen the popsicle idea before. Right now I feel like we are hibernating when we can. It was nice to go out for dinner the other night.
Thank you! Job jar, huh? Sounds like a good idea to me, but I can see where the excitement might be lacking on his part.
I hope he likes this idea–let me know how it goes! Glad you got to have some fun at dinner the other night!
