Date Night Review

As noted on the comments from the previous blog our wonderful babysitters did show up and totally got the kids high on sugar. (Not that we weren't expecting it mind you). Hubby and I ended up merely going to a fabulous restaurant where we ate really good food. French food that involves crepes. Mmmmm Mmmmmm. We were going to go to the movies afterwards, but alas forgot (In my case didn't know) that it was opening night for the new Harry Potter film. Which I would have liked to have seen but neither of us were willing to wait in line for a chance at a movie where we most likely would not have sat together. Not only that the length of the movie is three hours and that would have made us get home really really late. Both Hubby and Uncle Big Bear need to get up early in the morning for work so scratch the movie idea. I threw some ideas around but mainly we ended up coming home to hyper children and watching the end of their movie Robin Hood.

Next time I think I will try to plan it a little better. Like maybe go bowling or go play pool. Hubby doesn't like those ideas because they actually involve physical activity when he could come home and read a book. Sigh! Eventually I will figure out an activity that he can do that will involve him losing weight and me not getting frustrated with him. See I like bowling or playing pool or even roller skating. Note: Last time I went Roller Skating my knees were two huge bruises from mid thigh down to mid calf. Which means since my balance is worse now I should probably avoid Roller Skates for awhile. Anyways I might just have to toss some of these ideas out to other family and friends and see if they would be interested in doing some of these things.

Hmmm, Hubby likes Golf and Laser Tag or Paint Ball.

Anyways I have tried to get him to go golfing again this year but his partners last year were his friend C (I know I shouldn't but I want to call him Wacko) and Big D our old roommate. Lives differing and such and no tee times for Hubby. Mainly because Sundays are when he would be able to go golfing with his friends and Sundays are usually his only day off during the week. Same with them and they now have lives that involve it being an inconvenience at getting together on Sundays to go golfing. Still I hope he'll find something or someone who'll help him start and activity that he enjoys. Like I did with Raven and swimming. Speaking of which I will once again have to go swimming by myself tomorrow. Raven will be busy with her Mom and kids out at the cabin. So once again this week no swimming with Raven or sewing.

I think I should actually start on that shift for myself soon or I'll be panicked come Quad War and have nothing but hot things to wear. And it'll be all MY fault. Same thing with the babys room. We really need to start working on stuff in here, but all thats been happening is me going "Hubby, we really need to get moving on changing the computer room into the nursery!" and him going "Uh huh, yeah!" Sigh!

Oh, two cute things which I want to share. At least to me they were cute. Bear and Smiles were really big helps to me today at getting our house looking reasonably decent before Queen Pet showed up. Smiles really likes to wash the walls. It is so cute to watch (when I am not up to my arms in soap suds). Bear is getting really good at drying dishes.

Okay the two cute things. Whenever I sneeze now Bear goes "Chow! That's funny!" You see I am at the stage where when I sneeze my belly muscles contract and they hurt so my "Achoo" usually ends with an "OW!" Which to Bear sounds like "A..Chow!" Oh the giggles I give my children. The other cute thing I had to laugh at was Queen Pet was telling me about Smiles and how she's a strange child. You see Smiles was making pretend things for her Uncle and his fiancee when Queen Pet asked Smiles "So what does it smell like?". Smiles response was "Strawberry Poop". You expect a child of mine to normal? HAH! Again I say Hah!

All in all it was a good night tonight.
