Date Night!

SO, the blog I got the cute mummies from is also my new very favorite place to get date ideas! You've got to go there for really creative stuff. Some are over the top and expensive and ellaborate but most are super cheap or free including the one I chose for our datenight tonight.
TheBookstoreDate The site does all the work for you, including the invites and clues, etc.
Here's the gist....go to a bookstore and find a special place for the two of you...we chose the history section ( figures).

Go to the food section and pick a recipe that you think your partner would love. Share it.

Brian chose this awesome book ( gotta love the name)

and my favorite-anything chocolate and ooey gooey

Brian dreams of Giada so this one was a must!
Comfort food with a twist- right up Brian's alley!

Next head to the magazine and find a quiz to take together or an article to share.
Brian chose to share one on etiquette

I chose food, Johnny Appleseed, and saying Thankyou!
Head to the children's section to pick a favorite children's book or one that stirs a memory. My favorite book, Where the Wild Things Are. Favorite memory- Theres a monster at the end of this book.
Brian's was anything Star Wars ( so sweet that Alaric is now getting into it too!)
Then head to the comedy area and find a joke to share. I also found the greatest book of pictures of Walmart Shoppers-love it ( the chick's belly is actually hanging out BELOW her mini-skirt)!
Brian went classic
Go to the travel section and find places you want to go together. Brian wants to go back to Hawaii and discover Yosemite
I want a Caribbean cruise and Disney!
Our last task was to head to the poetry section and then back to our "spot" and read each other a love poem.
We had a blast! Go the the site above if you want some new, fresh date ideas!
