Date Night #1 - Drive In

One of our New Year's Goals is to do a date night EVERY week. Most of these dates will be at home, after the kids have drifted off to dream land.

So, being the goal-driven, resolution-keeping people that we are, we went on our first date of the new year to the Drive In.
The date was planned by Cameron.

First, he gave me a note that read:

Hey Hott Stuff,
Let's see your hott car.
I hope you can jive with me
at the Drive In.

He produced several cardboard boxes(most were rescued from the recycling bin outside), paper plates, paper, tape, and markers and instructed me to create a car in 20 minutes. It was slow-going at first. But after watching Cam hard at work, my inner Henry Ford kicked in, and we created works-of-art!
Creative process:

With the helpful judging scores from our upstairs neighbors, my van won first place....all because of the MODEST Hawaiian Hula-Doll on the dash of my 70's-look-a-like van.
Hey, Modest is Hottest.

(Those things on Cam's car that look like bug antennae are actually windshield wipers. He created AWESOME wheels...)

The Drive In was our next stop. We parked our cars in the living room...



...and then I got to cuddle with this HOTT STUFF while we watched the movie 'Charlie St. Cloud' and ate Trail Mix and Wheat Thins. (We didn't really like the show....kinda weird.)


Yes....I'd say it was a successful first date.
