Day of Bliss

Usually my "Moment of Bliss" posts are about just one moment. Not this one. And I usually don't go into detail about my days, but today was such a great one.....

Youngest woke me up today and told me to get dressed like her. Put on a jeans and a tshirt. I knew something was up because yesterday Hubby told her a secret. Try as I could she would not tell, but I figured it had something to do with our plans today.

So I got ready and both girls were already dressed, hair brushed and shoes on. WOW!!! We headed out in a direction that I could not guess where were going. I figured it was for breakfast. I watched the exits and tried to notice if we slowed down for a certain restaurant. We passed on by. The exit we took had a McDonalds on the left and a Cracker Barrel on the right. We got in the left turn lane. I grinned to myself knowing we were probably going to McDonalds since Oldest requested it a few weeks ago. (We do NOT like McDonalds!) Light turns green and he pulls out of the lane and goes to Cracker Barrel. It was a sneaky thing to do, but I like Cracker Barrel much better than McDonalds.

We finish up eating at 8:30am and Hubby mentions going to get our hair cut next. I look at him with big eyes, "Our appointment is at NOON!" He slyly grins and says "I thought your said nine." I start giggling and wondering where we are going next.

As we head out, I am watching our route and trying to figure out where we are going. I finally give up since the options are many. We end up at Putt Putt Golf with an empty parking lot. I ask if they are open. Hubby replies "Their website says they open at 9 am." We ended up the first customers of the day. It was perfect since it was still cool outside. We got a round of golf in before it got hot. With Putt Putt's special we got unlimited golf, 60 tokens, hot dogs and a coke. So we headed in to the games and had fun there. Hubby was a hero when he played a "Wheel of Fortune" game and won 800 tickets. Not only did he win all those tickets, but he won a harmonous "WOW" from the girls. With all tickets the girls each got some kind of sea urchin ball, a snake, a fan, a light up ball, and a tatoo. And a package of Pop Rocks to share.

After all that, we still had time to kill so we drove around a VERY nice neighborhood by our hair stylist and drooled. These houses were huge. But I wouldn't want to clean a house that big.

I always love getting my hair cut and Youngest takes after me. She LOVES it. Oldest likes looking at herself in the mirror and rolling her tongue.

The rest of the day we piddled and the girls happily played with Floam. Have you messed with this stuff before? W.E.I.R.D! You touch it and it feels slimy. But when you feel your fingers after they are dry as can be. The girls love it and spent a few hours entertained. Well worth the money.

I had an "AHA" moment today. I realized my husband likes to surprise me. I can remember him doing it early on in our relationship and it really irked me. I like to know where we are going so that I can be properly prepared. I can remember getting on to him about one of his surprise trips. Over time I have gotten used to it and go with the flow. It means a lot to me to know he took the time to plan today. He took care of the girls getting ready, researched Putt Putt, and thought the whole day through. He does not always express love in a manner that I want, but today he did it his way. And luckily I recognized it.
