Why not pay to get something on the big screen at the game? Like 'so and so is the best dad ever! thanks for all you do sweetie!!' If that doesn't knock his socks off, I don't know what will ;)
Hi Moms!
I always love your ideas about treating our husbands like the heros they are and want to be. My husband deserves something extra special. We have a date night planned for the 23rd. I bought him Texas Rangers tickets, which he already knows about because I just couldn't keep it a secret. My Mom will have our two girls that night so we have the night to ourselves )until about midnight or so when we have to go pick them up because Easter bunny will be visiting in the morning)!
I want to do something extra special for him. He's a hard-working daddy, he helps coach my girl's t-ball team, he goes to school full time, he works nights, and he is an amazing husband. All my friends talk about how good he is to me, and if they could clone him... lol! I know I don't show him enough that I love him.
What is something special I can do that will make him feel the way he deserves to feel?
Thanks Moms!

a favorite meal and enthusiastic oral sex
sorry to be so blunt but nothing tops that when wanting to make a man feel appreciated.
When he comes home from work, be naked waiting.
ALL guys love that!
I apoligize in advance, but this is the first thing that came to mind......
get down and dirty in the car with him, before the game, during the game, after the game or sometime on the way home. Just go after him, he'll be so surprised and excited, it'll only take a couple of minutes! But he'll remember it and feel super desired!
I have gotten a great response from my husband with roses, new nighty for me to wear, and cooking a really nice dinner (candlelit is a bonus). Also, if your tub is big enough (luckily mine is), I've drawn a bubble bath and washed him head to toe.
Men might not every say it, but they wonder why they're supposed to get their girl flowers and a romantic evening, yet they never get that done for them.
I'm not the girly girl (duh, mechanic mama, right) romantic type all the time, but I know my husband really appreciates and loves those things.... He works as a mechanic too.
I always rack my brain on this and end up asking hubby what he wants! His answer is usually, feed me, then, ya know =) and then let him relax! Men are really simple creatures most of the time.
What hubby has really appreciated in the past is:
- a surprise party with friends
- a romantic dinner and a new "outfit" from VS =)
- tickets to his fav game (similar to what you have already done!)
- ADDITION - I wrote husband a letter once - he really did appreciate it!
I will have to think on this....have you googled for ideas? That may turn up something!
Wow, it's not even his birthday! You seem like you are as sweet of a spouse to him as he is to you! The good news is that men are very simple creatures. There are two ways to make them the happiest, which are food and sex! Make him his favorite meal (or go out to dinner at his favorite restaurant). And of course, give him mind-blowing sex. You can put on a hot number and do a strip tease if you wish, but that really isn't necessary. As long as you give him good sex, he won't care (or remember!) if you wore lingerie or not! So, in summary - give your husband good food and good sex and he will be a very happy man!
Other ideas (in general) - make lunch for him every day or a couple times a week (or whenever) for him to take with to work.
If he takes a laptop to work, sneak a little note in his laptop saying I love you. Again, if you give him sex and cook him yummy dinners on a regular basis, he will be ecstatic! Have fun!
One more thought - too bad you/your husband have to pick up your daughters at your parents house at midnight - yuck!! I know you want them for Easter morning, but can't you or your husband pick them up in the morning so your romantic evening won't be interrupted to go them? You can pick them up in the morning and tell them that the Easter bunny is running late and will be over very soon? I really feel that in order for you and your husband to have the best evening possible together, your daughters must sleep over at your parents (not to mention how exhausted your daughters will be to wake them up at midnight. They will probably want to sleep in late in the morning since you would have interrupted their sleep, which means the Easter bunny will come late anyway, since your daughters will be sleeping in). Also, it's kind of rude to ask your parents to wait until you arrive at midnight before they can go to sleep. The Easter bunny will still make it to your house if you have to pick up your daughters in the morning! So what if the bunny comes over a little bit later?? Other option - reschedule your date night for a different Saturday night, so they can sleep over at your parents and you won't have to worry about Easter the next morning.
If he's a real Rangers fan- get him a super cool jersey if you have the $$. Depending on the timing, some stadiums to behind the scene tours early in the day (depending on timing) or see if you can get something on the jumbotron in the outfield!
I love Texas stadium! No matter what it should be a good night out!
ADDITION!!!
I would also like to agree with the post that suggested you leave the girls at your mom's for the night if possible! Stay at a hotel or just go home and have a romantic evening with some sexy get-up :) Have the Easter Bunny come to your mom's house- make up your own Easter bunny rules and say that he knew they were there so he just went there!
What a GREAT question, but boy it's a tough one! I really like the Jersey idea. Or maybe get a gift card for his favorite restaurant and give it to him before you head out. You can tell him dinner is pre-paid.
That's all I can come up with. I cam up with quite a few ideas I would like for MYSELF…hee hee hee! Boys are harder to pamper :)
Have a blast!!
I like Amanda's idea and I am going to go off that...you can tease him in the car for a few mins (or 10) on the way to the game, let him know Heaven awaits him tonight after the game...then that evening get all sexified on him...adventurous if you catch my drift. My hubby loves that..(then again..what man doesnt?)
have fun..sounds like a great time!!! (the game that is)
I dated a guy a million years ago (19, 20 years old?) that was a FREAK for a specific baseball team. I was friends with someone in security who helped me arrange for a special date surprise. We went to a game, had an awesome time, a total "guy date" with the hot dog, a beer, whatever. When the game was over we stayed behind; I made him hide until my friend said it was ok come out. We walked out onto the field and he was tripping out, ran around the field, thought he was the man. He thought THAT was the surprise. He stood out on 2nd base and watched the empty stands, in his own little world, and then I grabbed his hand and ran him to home plate. He was like "what??" because he saw that my blanket had been laid out on homeplate. I said "Have you ever?" (remember that game?) and grabbed him and jogged to 1st base, where we held hands and peck kissed. He got the idea and ran me to 2nd, 3rd, and yes--home. It was weird and different. He'll still tell you that was the coolest date EVER.
Another option....don't the Rangers have sleepovers? NOT the Rangers, lol, but the stadium. Years ago, they did, but I don't know about now. But I think you could arrange for a tour of the stadium, and possibly a sleepover party (but that would be something you'd want to have the kids over for? I dunno...check into it).
Let him sleep in Sat morning! When I get up and take care of my daughter and let him catch extra sleep it makes a difference. I agree get him a new jersey before the game, my husband is a cards fan and would go nuts if I did that! I applaud you for trying to do something nice for your husband, I know it's really hard to come up with something for men!
OK - I am poaching your rangers tickets idea. It is my hubby's birthday on the 23 and I was at a loss for something to do.
We adamantly follow the rangers (even before last year - LOL!) bur haven't had the spare income to go to games like we used to. This will be a nice splurge for him (ok and me).
LOVE!!!
If you can, get a friend or neighbor to set up a romantic suprise at the house while you are gone. You pick up the kids at midnight, take them home and put them to bed, then walk into your room and wow - candles, champagne, and strawberries, massage oil - vavavoom!
I also think anything that would enhance the Rangers Game - like a new Jersey or new ballcap would be great. Dinner or drinks at Humperdinks before the game?
Have yall done the tour of Cowboy stadium yet? I bought that for my husband and son for Fathers Day last year and he still brags about it and how great a wife I am for doing that. :)
