THE PETERSENS

My husband was kind enough to let me go out tonight with a friend for a little break from taking care of my cute kids.  He loves me well!

As I was heading out the door, I kissed my Hubs and my 2 boys.  I told JL, “I’m going out on a “date” with Auntie Autumn!”  Reminded him to obey Daddy and love God.  He just smiled and watched me leave.

By the time I came home, both boys were in bed sleeping already.  I asked Ben later if either of the boys had looked for me.  He said that him and JL had this conversation…

JL (while eating dinner): Daddy, where is Mommy?

Ben: She’s out on a date with Auntie Autumn!

(JL sits quietly for a bit, thinking.)

JL: Daddy, I want to go out on a date with Mommy, too!

Ben: Yes, JL, you and Mommy will have to do that.

Wow, I just about melted when Ben told me this.  Absolute sweetness to my ears.  I guess me and JL will be going out on a date this week sometime!
