This past weekend was one of the best that I have had in a very very long time. My husband and I finally found a girl we can trust to watch our two little ones, so we have been taking advantage of her! I was actually able to eat my shrimp scampi without having someone try and sit on my lap and eat my fries. I think food tastes much better when I don't have to yell every two seconds! Its also warmer, and my water doesn't have back washed crackers or chicken finger bits in it!! I actually walked out of the restaurant without a giant ketchup smear on one side of my shirt. And my husband and I actually had an uninterrupted conversation that lasted more than 2 minutes. Then we went bowling, just him and I. It was nice to really play the game and not have to chase a little person down the lane. There was no screaming, no tears, no fighting over whose turn it was. The whole experience- dinner and bowling- was totally refreshing!! We needed that quiet time in the worst way. It gave us time to hear each other and talk to each other like we used to. I love my kids to death, but I need a break every once in a while or I will go crazy!
To make it up to the girls we took them to see "How to train your Dragon". They were perfect little specimens of the women I hope they grow up to be. They were quiet and polite the entire time! I actually got to finish he movie for a change. Usually I have to leave with the 2 year old while my husband and 5 year old get to stay. The sum up from the hubster, while he means well, doesn't usually do the movie justice. My husband and I are encouraged by this pleasant display and hope that we can go to more movies in the future. Needless to say, the weekend was a major success!!!!!!
