Date Night

We had babysitters last night. Steph and Kelly, two girls from the youth group, wanted Mark and I to go out on a date so they could babysit. Who could turn down that offer?

Here was the plan:

A quick shopping trip to Old Navy to use a great "friends and family" coupon my friend Jen gave me to use before the 3rd.

Dinner at Mimi's Cafe

Taking in a movie

Good conversation at Barnes & Noble while enjoying Starbucks

A quick stop at Wal-mart on the way home


Here's what actually happened:

We spent too long at Old Navy, then went to Gap Kids where we could also use the coupon. And, I might add, that all of our shopping was done for Kate (we bought stuff for next summer at amazing prices!).

Dinner at Mimi's Cafe.

I guess we shopped and dined for too long, because after that, all we had time for was our "quick stop" at Wal-mart. We did hold hands while we shopped, though. Does that still count for a date night?

Then, we made the 40 minute trip back home to a sweet little sleeping baby girl. Who, by the way, has learned the "so big" trick (lifting both arms up when asked, "How big's Kate?") and is saying "da-da" now.
