Our Saturday

This past Saturday, Daddy's business had a wedding to tape. Since Daddy's partner had plans, I was elected to go help Daddy tape the wedding. It was at a church that we know (the partner goes there), so that helped. But it was extra stress on Daddy, cuz he had to set everything up for me and him and tell me what to do and answer my questions, etc. All in all the wedding went very well. The reception was shorter than what they (as a business) are used to because there was no dancing and drinking. So we got done a little earlier than we had told the babysitters. So we went out to dinner to a BBQ place (Squealers YUM).

Some friends watched the kids (M and Green Socks) and I'm sure spoiled them rotten. Just wait you guys! Your turn will come. It sounds like they all had fun. They went out for dinner to Olive Garden, played PS, watched a movie, played, and who knows what else.

Daddy kept telling me that this would be a working day--but for me it was a nice break away from the children. I'm sure all you moms out there understand that. Yes, we worked and we were on our feet almost the entire time, but there were no kids to tend to at the same time. When we were at Squealers, we just sat at the table-not talking-listening to the silence. But at the end of the night, we were glad to get home to the kiddies. I missed them, even though it was a nice break to be away from them. What an oxymoron.

i know what you mean! when we get the rare night out, we sit in silence at the restaurant. i used to feel guilty about not talking, but i got over it and we relish the silence!
