Date night!

February 24, 2007 · 4 comments

Yep, you read right, date night! Hubby and I were in dire need of a night away from the boys, so we rang Grandma Bo and asked for a couple hours of her time. Delighted, as usual, she agreed.

It was a pretty busy day, what with babysitting the neighbor kids for a couple hours, cleaning the place up and hubby recovering from a Liquid Lunch Airlines flight from the night before. But, once we got the boys settled in with GB, we ran like the wind! Where to? We had no idea to start. Drove to Ann Arbor and figured we’d find some place good. Ended up at the Grizzly Peak. Yummy. A nice glass of wine, good food, a little non-kid related conversation (ok, seriously, how much of that is possible when your life basically revolves around the boys??), some dessert and home again to very happy kids and grandparents. I love to see and hear them playing together – warms the very cockles of my heart. 😀

Of course, even with the additional (too much?) stimulation today, neither of them wanted to go to bed at a decent hour. Seriously? Why?!?!?! Matt went up after nine and P closer to 10! GO. TO. SLEEP. !!!! 😯

Anyway, was a nice time out. Hubby and I needed some time together. That, coupled with some actual conversation the last few days, has aligned us as partners again. Sometimes, in the craziness of everyday life, I feel like we forget that we’re not just mom and dad, but friends and hubby and wife as well. It ebbs and flows, but all in all, it’s good. 😀 We’re lucky.
