Date Night......or a version of it. So tonight we signed the girls up for "Parents Night Out" at My Gym so Bobby and I could have a date night. We had planned to go to a grown up restaurant for dinner and then maybe go to another restaurant for an after dinner drink or dessert. Nothing major but date-ish. Sounds like fun huh? And since both sets of grandparents live out of town, we don't have built in babysitters so this plan was a good one.
Weeeellll....as we all know when you have kiddos things don't always go exactly according to plan and that is to be expected. We learned early on with Ashton that we needed to be flexible so we were totally okay with it.
Our sweet Landry has a bit of a cough and ever so slight runny nose so we didn't take her. Ashton however still wanted to go. So we dropped her off, went and got some Pei Wei take out, came home, ate it, bathed Landry, put her to bed, watched about 30 minutes of a movie, then I went and picked up our Big Girl. Our house was waaaayyyy to quiet without Ashton.
We enjoyed this version of Date Night, but really would have preferred to have Ashton with us. We missed her...she missed us and she missed Pei Wei...but we ordered her favorite dish so she could have it for lunch tomorrow!
