The weather was absolutely amazing yesterday, and we needed to get out of the house. My hubby was planning to get out of work a little early, so I asked him if he would want to go to the park with the kiddos…
My pictures look a little chilly, but I promise it really was 65 degrees outside.
Both kiddos were thrilled with the trip to the park, they had a blast running around and playing on the swings. It is rare that we are at the park in January, so we’ll be thankful for the good weather.
I’ve got one week left to get all of these bears sewn. So far I’ve finished 17, so I’m a little over half-way there. My hands hurt from all of this hand stitching though…
I hope to get the rest of the bears finished soon.
The last few days have been those kind of days. Thade has been going stir crazy in the house, while I’ve been dealing with tummy troubles, and Dylan has been up on the hour the last two nights. I think I’ve clocked in 4 hours of sleep over the last two days.
I’m super busy too. I’ve got Thade’s Birthday Party to plan, 16 more bears to finish sewing, and James is getting ready to go to convention, so I have to have him ready to go too.
Yeah, Nico needs a break…
Happy Inauguration Day to all!
I would love to say that our night out was so much fun, and the food was amazing, and we all had the best time, but nope nope nope… At least the kiddos had a blast at the sitters, but more about that later.
It all started when we dropped off the kiddos, and we headed off to the restaurant. We were getting a table, and the place was already packed. As we were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive 30-35 people walked in and the little waiting area was packed. Our friends made it quickly, and we (luckily) grabbed our table, and then the waiting game begins.
We waited a bit, and went on ahead and ordered drinks and appetizers, and made up our minds on what we were going to order. When our server made it back, we started to order our meals, and they were out of our first choices, second choices, and so on. So we decided on the fifth choice, and we waited and waited and waited.
I saw a few of my MOPS friends, so went over to say hi to my buddies.
When our order finally made it, nothing was right. James steak was rare and mooing, he ordered medium-well, we didn’t get the right sides, but we watched them get delivered to the other table. I ordered broiled fish, and I thought yummy, and it was eeww yucky. My shrimp didn’t taste right, but the salmon was pretty good.
James lost his appetite, and by the time that we were finally getting out of there, my stomach was killing me. Both James and I went home with unpleasant tummies, and my sickness carried over into all day Sunday.Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be going out to eat any time too soon.
At least the kids had fun. Locally there is a Church that offers babysitting services once a month for $1.00 a child, and the kids had a blast. The Church feeds the kiddos dinner, has fun craft projects and plenty of playtime, and they even get to watch a movie too. My kids loved going, and Thade can’t wait to go back.
We will definitely be doing the date night again, but I think we will stay at home, and I’ll cook.
