We have joined a babysitting co-op with three families. Each family has 2 kids. So once a month we each drop off our kids at one couple's home for 4 hours. This time we got to drop off Sarah and William. Roger and I dressed up and enjoyed a night out in San Francisco with dinner at the Grand Cafe. It was lovely. We didn't have to rush and I completely enjoyed having my wonderful husband all to myself.
I admit I was a little hesitant at first - 8 kids in a one-bedroom San Francisco apartment sounds a little overwhelming. But Stephanie and Garret are super-people and all the kids had a great time. Sarah LOVED that she got to watch all of Peter Pan. Hey, at least that was one less child they had to worry about. I'm gearing up for our turn to host the little rascals in November ...
That sounds like a great idea! I am such a fan of date night (always have been but it seems even more important now with a baby). Derek and I love getting out for a couple of hours every week... but then I love getting back to Lydia after the time away :)
ReplyDeleteI am so going to use your idea! I'm glad you had a fun, relaxing evening out.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to have a fun date night! Good luck with the tending in November.
ReplyDeleteSo, what's your game plan for November? Glad you had fun! I've never heard of the Grand Cafe...is it good?
