Yes, I know what a date night is, but unfortunately Sarah and I don't experience them much anymore. With our three hoodlums...err...I mean precious boys, it's hard to find time to get away much less find a baby sitter.
Thankfully Sarah and I have some good friends that don't mind John Allen's teenage attitude, Joshua's asperger's, and Jacob's terrible twos that have stretched into his fours. I know, our children are a challenge at times but two of Sarah's ladies ~ a mother and her adult daughter ~ don't seem to mind, and the boys love them back. Thank you Lauri and Ann!
Sarah and I decided to go on a hot date to Applebees and Wal-Mart. Now, I know what you are thinking, but even Wal-Mart can be considered a hot date when you go minus kids!
And Applebees was delicious. It was certainly a change of pace from fast food play places. I traded in my frozen burger patty for a steak, my fries for good mashed potatoes and the lettuce, tomato, and pickle for steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. We even got APPETIZERS! Can you believe it!
We sat and talked and relaxed without interuptions, or mission phones ringing, or knocks on the door, or TV's blaring...well, you get the picture. We did get a couple of cell phone calls. We left them on for the babysitters, but one or two others called as well.
Sarah and I used to go out on monthly dates, but that was before homeschool. We have often thought of going back go them, but it just didn't seem possible before. Now that we have some reliable people that our kids love, I think we might do some more of this dating.
Hmmm...sounds good to me!

. We love Shrek as well! I sure wish you were coming to the Mid-West conference. You and Sarah would really hit it off!
