Big milestones tonight and tomorrow

Cue the heralding trumpet:, tonight is the first night away from the kids!  Jim arranged a date night (this was part of my b-day surprise) that includes his parents taking both kids for the night.  Willa's had nights away with my parents, but not Henry. Warren is too far away in case it wasn't working out for him, and Jim's parents haven't been ready for this step until now.   I'm excited for them - and us!

And tomorrow is graduation for Jim.  Yay!

  • Big milestones indeed!! Enjoy your evening away and congratulations to Jim on his graduation!
  • Thanks guys... a little overdue, eh?

    Jim just threw a wrench into my gift plans.  I was about to buy him Meijer Garden concert tickets this afternoon, and he called to put something on that date.  Gr.  It was perfect!!  Back to the drawing board, under a quick deadline.  Accepting ideas.

  • Party!!!  Have fun tonight!  And congratulations to Jim!  Sorry I have no gift ideas for you, I am horrible at coming up with gift ideas for men.

  • Well Congrats to both of you!  Is there another concert happening on a different date that he'd enjoy?  Could you plan a little getaway for a night for him - go to a casino, go to the lakeshore for a night away, take him to a Tigers game, or something along those lines?  For actual stuff - a frame for his diploma perhaps, a shirt from the school he went to that says "alumni", anything related to whatever his hobbies may be?
  • He was really excited about the Los Lonely Boys and Los Lobos show.  The other two he showed interest in were G Love (but that's Father's Day, and the kids should be with dad then), and Peter Frampton (and I love my husband, but nope, that's a no go for me, and he shouldn't go alone ;)).

    Juli, I think an overnight out in the D is a great idea.  And my parents have been looking for a time they could audition both kids for an overnight.  Whoo hoo!  Thanks!

    I wouldn't let that keep you from buying the tickets. I'm guessing the concerts starts around 7ish.  He would have all day to spend with the kids. 

    But I do like the idea of a night in the D.  Or maybe better yet...Southfield.  ha ha.

  • Grill out and the pool on Father's Day, in the evening.  T Family tradition.  Shrug. 

    I was thinking about calling you about your Southfield getaway. ;)
