Default How do I capture a date?

Every week I have to create a schedule that includes dates. I want to be able
to prompt for a date and place it within the header along with the phrase
"Week Ending". So I would open up the spreadsheet, and then get a prompt me
to enter a date and then I would take that date and make the phrase "Week
Ending December 4, 2008" for instance. Or, would I have to use control key
combination to get the date? I would also need to take that date and update
the date fields for each day of the week. The date would be Thursday, so I
would take that date and put it in the cell for the Thursday date. I would
then subtract one to automatically give me the date for Wednesday and so on.
Thanks for any help.
