Date with ma dude!/ Big Noz

Today was aWeston and mom date day! Its not often him and I get to go out and do things just him and I. So today due to it being march break there were 2$ movies.

So i surprised him this morning by taking him to see one.

He kept trying to guess on the drive there what we were going to do.

He thought we were going to the Y because I told him to wear his sneakers today. He thought it was because he would be running, but in fact I just wanted him to look cool!

So when we pulled into the parking lot he was confused. he said " why are we here mommy? this is the movie parking lot"

Well buddy its because that is your surprise. We are going to a movie! " But mom movies take to long"

Hahahaha so much for my excitment in surprising him! he was disappointed hahahah

Just when you think they will Love it.....

Pat said the funny thing is he probibly would of been more excited to go out and shovel snow at home!

W|hat a guy.

But we stayed and he ate popcorn and his little pack of healthier gummie bears and drank a apple juice.!

Thank God for snacks or he would of had a awful time at the movies hahahha

 We saw Alvin and the chipmunks. He said he didnt really like it because it was a bad movie. there were parts he didnt like so i guess it was a "bad movie" hahaha but we danced and laughed thru it!

 We were posing in front of the movie sign but you cant see it!
Then we went to superstore grabbed a slice of pizza and ate it while we shopped.
Dinner and a movie 6$ cant beat that!



Next awesome thing of the day was Nelson for the first time ever decided he wanted to go to Grammy's house for his first solo sleep over.
That is a big deal for Nelson. we were all shocked that he went thru with it! Hes not a risk taker or even tryer of things. He likes to stick close to home unless weston goes with him.
So today he pulled a BIG NOZ!
One day Pat convinced him to go into the Freight Liner work truck . So ever since then Nelson says " Daddy call me. Big Noz, I go in freight liner me not scared"
So when he pulls out a big boy move we call it a Big Noz.
So he packed his little bag and got dressed and waited for Grammy to pick him up. Tuesdays are usaully Weston sleep over nights, but today he chose to stay home. So i asked Nelson if he wanted to go , and to my surprise he said yes. It was cute. I went to wake him up from his nap, and while he was still half asleep I asked him if he wanted to go and he said YES, then he sat up and said "pack my bag" and he thru his blanket at me .I kept asking him if he really wanted to go and he never waivered!

 We got bored of waiting inside for Gram, so we decided to do a bit of shoveling to pass the time.

The boys love to shovel, they begged yesterday to go shovel. So I let them. I let them play outside while lenon and I are inside watching thru the door. The rule is they are not allowed to go past the railing to our steps . They can go as far as the railing but no farther so they stay down at the bottom of our driveway.I looked out once and I saw weston going past the mark and I asked him what he was doing. He says "oh mom Iam just going to shovel all the steps in the front so when our guests come over they can use the front door and not get snowy"
It was awesome. Then I chuckled to myself and thought, I wonder how many years before I will have to fight with them to go and shovel the front walk way. ...........

 I am enjoying the days of them being excited to help with bringing in wood and shoveling and taking out the garbage....... who knows how long it will last
