Date Night!

Last week at work, I responded to an email asking if anybody wanted Rivermen tickets (which, I've done before and was able to get 7 tickets).  This week though, I was only given 2 tickets. AND, we had the boys this weekend.  What to do... What to do...

When I brought it up to Phil, he suggested that I take Jake*, and it would be our "date night."

Hmm... Well this is a first... a date night. With a stepson.

We told Jake on Friday evening that I would be taking him to the Rivermen hockey game on Saturday and he was so excited! "Really? Awesome! YAY!"

Then on Saturday morning, he was so cute... "I can't wait for our date tonight!"

Saturday afternoon, I asked him what he wanted to do for dinner and we talked about it. He decided on Burger Barge in Peoria (the new one).

We played tic-tac-toe and hangman while we waited for our food.

I will keep that napkin forever.  :-) 

Then we got our burgers... Jake got a bacon burger and onion rings. I got a chili and cheese burger (tried something new!) and cheese blobs.  

YUM!!

Then we went to the hockey game and had great seats! 

The Rivermen were losing 2-1 until the last 4-minutes of the game when they tied it up 2-2! It was awesome!  He wanted to stay and watch, so I agreed since it was our first date.  LUCKILY, the Rivermen scored within 3-minutes of overtime.  :-)  We didn't have to stay so late!

So, for my first stepmom-stepson date... It was a really fun evening!  :-)
