Our Date Night!

Last weekend Brandon and I decided that we'd go out this weekend to celebrate Valentines Day together- you see...with sleep deprivation, our busy lifestyle, two kiddos, etc....we've had our ups and downs as a couple in the past couple of months, and although we always kiss and make up, we couldn't wait to have some time together on a date! So, my mom said she would come over and watch Parker and Andrew and we would spend the day going to a movie and out to dinner. Well...a couple days before our fun date, my mom threw us a curve ball and told us that she would be more than happy to keep the boys all night...either at our house or hers. So, after thinking about it for a few hours, we decided that this was exactly what we needed- an entire night alone to sleep! We booked a room at aLoft in Leawood and told mom that we would LOVE IT if she spent the night at our house on Saturday night!!

Anyways....we had the most PERFECT date day and night! We went to see "Just Go With It" and thought it was a great date movie! We shopped a little and got to eat one of our favorite dinners- Sushi- something you don't get to eat when you have a 3 year old with you! It was absolutely perfect- we drank wine, ate lobster spring rolls, rainbow rolls, California Rolls, and we had a delicious ice cream desert. Yummo! Then we went to our room and we were both asleep by 9:30 pm! We slept all night and slept in until about 7:30 am. :) Yes, that is sleeping in for us!

This little getaway was just what we needed to feel refreshed as parents and as a couple. It was the perfect date night for our first Valentines Day being the parents of two kiddos. Now, we can't wait to celebrate our love for our family tomorrow with both boys!

Thank you, Mom and Mahlon, for hanging out with Parker and Andrew while we got to go on our date night!
