Family Date Night

We had family date night last night. More or less b/c I didn't want to cook or find babysitting. We got out the old entertainment coupon book - that's how we determine where we go on dates - and hit Applebee's with a buy one, get on free dinner. We rarely take the kids out to a sit-down restaurant. So I was slightly apprehensive. But they were both GREAT! I'm not going to press my luck though.


They put Ted's grilled cheese order in first. When he was done eating, he played under the table. He drew with his crayons and wrote his name, sorted all the pink/blue/white sugar packets and was Sophie's personal toy picker up.


Sophie played with/dropped her toys. I gave her small pieces of bread which mostly ended up in her fists and in between her fingers. It made for long entertainment.

We went to Books-a-Million and played with the trains. Then came home for bathtime.

Ted got to help blow dry Sophie's hair. It really is worth the blow dry to avoid massive tangles in the morning.
