Date day with Thomas. GreatFull Gardens for lunch followed by a short hike in Galena.
I have loved every single date day with Thomas since they were 1 year old. We had a date once a month up until about a year ago; slowed down due to the intense school schedule.
The date days have gotten better and better, authentic and rich with conversation and laughter. ❤️❤️❤️

Lillian is spending the night with The Romano Duo so Thomas and I get to have a day and a half long date! Went for a walk and then played Thomas’ Arcade. This is what he made for the cardboard challenge. Looks easy and simple. That’s what I thought! No way! You have to flick the little balls of tape out the other side. But they get stuck in the tape traps! FUN!
Movie night for the October 2014 Camilla n Thomas date … Love watching this every October. I usually watch it alone. It was fun to watch with Thomas this time. Charge!!!!

Mr. T and I are about to head out on our date. We’re making a a couple of HappY Messages to randomly leave somewhere. Thomas says, “The people who find these messages will make their own messages and spread to someone else and pretty soon the whole World will be sharing happY messages.” Right on Team Member T, Right on!!

Movie Date Night with me and Team Member T …. Just LOVE this movie … Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future … He says he has so many ideas he might need a folder to hold all of them … I think you may be right Thomas …
Spreading HappYness Day #15 (Part 1) – Thomas and I had a date day while Lillian is spending time with The Romano Duo. Mr. T made a HappY message to deliver while we were out on our date. He left it on someone’s windshield. He asked, “What if someone throws it away?” I told him we can’t control what people do with kindness after we share it with them and we shouldn’t let that keep us from being kind. Frozen yogurt for lunch, craft store for some inexpensive gifts that he can make, used book store, library and a movie, Scrooge – A Christmas Story. Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future.
