Date Night

Saturday night was date night at our house. This was the very first time for us to hire a babysitter! The other times we've gone out Brody has stayed with family. It's nice to be close to family since our date cost us an extra $18 because of the babysitter (just wait until we have more kids than Brody!) The babysitter was really good with Brody and even had the house cleaned up when we got home! She said he was really good for her and went to bed around 8 pm. She said that she had to change his pj's because he got milk from the bottle all over himself. (Sunday morning Mike looked at the bottle she fed him and noticed that the nipple wasn't on the bottle all the way...so that's why it leaked all over him! lol)

We REALLY enjoyed our night on the town. We went to Hutch and ate dinner at Lone Star. We STUFFED ourselves on the yummy "Texas" food ;) After dinner we went to see Shrek the Third. It was fun! I think it made the movie funnier to be watching it with a theater full of children who were crackin' up laughing at every joke! After dinner we made a stop at Wal-Mart (what trip to Hutch is complete without a stop at Wally World?). Then we were gonna stop at Metropolitan Coffee to get a coffee...but they were closed?!?!? Have they always closed at 10 pm on Saturdays? I thought they used to have live bands on Saturday nights and were open late? Maybe not. I was disappointed....but we were both still so full from dinner that we got over our disappointment really quick.

We got home around 11 pm and then I drove into town to take the babysitter home (she's a college student without a car). The road to Sterling was down to one lane because of the flooding. The river is still FAR out of it's banks! I was glad they didn't have the highway closed and that I was able to get her home safely!

Since a post isn't complete without pictures....here's a few of Brody (who else do we take pictures of these days?)

Brody has suddenly realized that there is stuff inside that big, black thing in the middle of the kitchen! Now whenever I open the fridge door he crawls as fast as he can to look inside it! Of course I just had to take a picture ;)
Here's Brody eating cherrios in his high chair (from Daddy Ken and Grandmommy) while we ate breakfast.
