Yesterday Matt gave me the afternoon off - the plan was that he would finish up about noon, take the kids and I could head into town early. Then he would meet me in town later for a date night.
Well, I hop in the car and there is a note on the passenger seat waiting for me with instructions "read when you get to town". And of course I do read it. And it says "I booked you a hotel room and will watch the kids til 2 tomorrow. Let me know what to pack when I come meet you for our date later". YAY for me!!!
We've had kind of a long, tough haul here recently with a number of different complicating factors and 24 hours away was such a sweet gift from a thoughtful husband! I loved every minute (including the extra minutes of sleep) and returned home refreshed and rejuvenated.
The kids and I had a great afternoon and our sweet little 7 month old neighbor joined us for part of it too. Le Le is one of my children's favorite people - they love her almost as much as her little 7 month old body can handle - and sometimes even give a smidge more love than she can tolerate! Her parents have a lot going on as they prepare for an international move (terribly sad for us, our favorite neighbors leaving just six months after we arrive). So we see a lot of this little one and I LOVE being her favorite baby sitter :) [and that's a fact, not just my opinion! ha!]
Anyways, that's the quick update on our last 24 hours :)
