Violet's Date Night

I'm so excited to tell everyone about this date!

But before I get started, I want to apologize for us not getting our date up last week. We had a super cute, fun, easy date, and Michael will be getting it up later today. So that means two new dates this week! 

The inspiration for this week's comes from our local library, which had a "blind date with a book" event in February. They wrapped up a few books, wrote some words describing the book on the wrapping, and people would decide on reading a book without actually seeing what it was. I decided to do the same thing with our date night this week.

I printed out pictures of the posters for four very different movies and put them in envelopes, then added three treats and an activity to each.

The night before our date, I had Michael pick one of the four envelopes with only the different colors on the front as a guide:

He had a hard time deciding, but finally picked the orange.

Inside was Unicorn City, with some "Gamer treats" (Mountain Dew, Cheetos, and Nerds Rope) and the game "Munchkin" for an activity.

The other envelopes contained:

Pink:

• Emma
• Herb Tea
• Biscotti
• Chocolate
• A walk in the park

Dark blue:

• Snow White and the Huntsman
• Sparkling Apple Cider
• Caramel Apple Slices
• Hostess/Offbrand Sno Balls
• Reading some Grimm's Fairy Tales

Light Blue:

• Atlantis: The Lost Empire 
• Jones Bubblegum Soda (Because it's blue)
• Goldfish Crackers
• Swedish Fish
• Swimming

We will save these for future emergency dates, so you may see them pop up again sometime.

The next day we took the papers from the envelope Michael picked

and exchanged them for the real thing:

We also dressed for the occasion:

Michael is wearing a wizard shirt, and I'm wearing a dragon shirt.

One of the best things about this date is that you can use the same ideas we did, or come up with different ideas for literally any movie (or TV show, or book) you want to. The possibilities are endless!
