JOE's second date

If you are a regular reader, you'll know I took JOE out on her first date the Sunday before last. It was such an awesome way to spend some one on one time with JOE that J decided to take JOE out on her second date. 
Last Sunday,  JOE took her out and they had a great time!

I often cook our lunches for the week on Sundays after Churchto ensure that we're not spending money on unhealthy meals. After J & JOE left on their date, I decided to continue cooking. Often, I put JAE in her swing or in her carseat but she has recently started sitting up with the aide of her boppy pillow. So I decided to prop her up on there so I could see her while I cooked. 
Well, she was "talking" with me for a bit and all of a sudden, she got quiet. I turned around and this is what I saw. I guess she was pooped from all the talking.

After cooking, I decided to go up and take a nap. Well, my little ray of sunshine a.k.a JAE wouldn't stop fussing and just wanted to play. Check out her serious face telling me "and why do you think you deserve a nap momma?"

So I decided to pump instead of wasting time sitting there. Wouldn't you know...within minutes of turning on the pump, she was fast asleep. Oy!!!

J on the other hand was having a fabulous time with JOE. I sent them off with express instructions to "take LOTS of pictures!" I am so glad they had a great time. 

Initially, J was going to take JOE out to a car show but the show closed early so instead, he took her to a couple of stores and they also went for ice cream.

I'm surprised she didn't make him buy her half the store :-).

Hmmm...I wonder what that is?

I better touch it to find out! :-)

They even went to Firehouse Subs for lunch. YUM! Where she got her very own fireman hat!

Selfie time!

Time for yummy desserts.

My husband is a football fanatic so this picture should come as no surprise!

But wait, she also found the "Frozen" backpack! That's my girl! :-). Too bad daddy decided she already has a Doc McStuffins one and she didn't need another backpack. 

Overall, they had a great time and JOE came home all smiles and very happy to tell me about her adventures with dada. I count that a very successful second date. 

Oh and as a follow up to her first date, here are final pictures of the items we painted last week. I think they turned out great.

I know that J & I are definitely looking forward to many more one on one dates with our girls.

Have a fabulously blessed week!
