Date Night

It's funny how things change when you have kids. In the past, Friday night "date night" may have involved dinner at a nice restaurant or going to a romantic movie. These days, "date night" usually consists of an early supper at a fast-food joint with a play place.

Tonight we sent the boys off to Grandma and Grandpas' for a sleepover. Did we take time alone for fun and romance? Well .... not exactly. We spent the evening up to our elbows in paint. (I finally convinced Ben we needed to re-decorate the boys' bedroom).

However, my fun-loving / paint-loathing husband finally convinced me we needed to take advantage of our kid-fee state. We diligently applied a coat of paint, took quick showers and changed out of our grubby clothes. Then we went out to a late movie.

Romance is alive and well in the Inkster household! (What am I still doing on the computer?)
