S'mores Date Night at Home

First off, can I just say how much I love all the blogging going on lately? I feel like I actually kind of know what's going on in everyone's life and it's so much fun since we don't live close to anyone! Now if we could just figure out how to get mom to post... :).

Anywho, Wes and I used to do date nights at home for a bit when Mckay was little after we were inspired by all the fun Marie and Colby were having with it, but we could never think of ideas on the spot so they faded quickly.  Now more than ever with the summer being crazy and Wes working more, I feel like we need some alone time to spend together. We sat down and made up a huge list of fun, inexpensive, and most importantly little-prep-needed date-at-home ideas (with a little help from pinterest), so now we just pick one out on Thursday and plan to do it either Friday or Saturday Night.  I find that having an intentional slice of time planned out after Mckay goes to bed makes it really feel like a special time for us together.

So last night was the first of many to come, and we made s'mores over our stove and asked each other "newlywed game" questions we found online.  It was sooo much fun! And yummy of course :).


Roasting over the open fire...sort of :). Big bellies love Mallows!

Delicious


I'm not even ashamed because they were so good :)
We both had such a fun time, and even though normally we are boring and tired by the time Mckay goes to bed, we were giggling and enjoying ourselves.  I absolutely love Wes and I love being married :).

As a side note, my diamond is loose on my wedding ring so I had to send it in to get fixed.  I had mentioned that my finger felt so naked without it, so Wes bought me a pretty little $5 place holder :).  I made him take this picture even though he thought it was silly haha.
