Friday night was just what Mike and I needed...a little time to recharge together. We both headed to the gym after work (the boys went to my gym with me and played in the childcare room). Then it was home to shower and get dressed for a dinner date!
The boys were excited to get to go help Daddy Steve mow his yard...and even more excited when they heard that Ron & Jan were going to stop by for a visit!
Mike and I dropped off the boys and then tried to decide which sit down restaurant we wanted to eat at...just the two of us! We stopped at some new Italian restaurant first, but when we walked in and found that it was actually some kind of market, we did an about face and climbed back in the car. We finally decided to eat at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. We chose this restaurant based on the dessert that Juli Beth introduced me to a few years ago. It's called a Pizookie (pizza cookie) and is a huge, warm cookie with a couple scoops of ice cream on top. We ate dinner first, but we ordered small portions knowing that we were saving room for dessert!
As we were headed back to Daddy Steve and Namaw's to pick up the boys, Caleb called and asked if we wanted to come by and see their new Jeep Wrangler. {Side Note: Mike has been wanting to get a Wrangler for years and has been seriously looking at replacing our Hyundia (which won't fit 3 carseats) with a 4-door Wranger (which has plenty of room for 3 carseats). He's researched them enough and talked about them enough that our boys yell "JEEP" anytime we pass a Jeep and Barrett is proficient as saying both "Jeep Rubicon" and "Jeep Wrangler"...so of course we wanted to stop by and see Caleb & Audria's new jeep!!!} By the time Caleb and Mike figured out how to get the top off the Jeep and had examined every inch of the Jeep, we were finally ready to go for a ride. It was a beautiful night to ride around with the top down.
By the time we got back to Caleb & Audria's house it was well after 10 pm. I called Daddy Steve and we decided to just let the boys spend the night there (they were already asleep by then) and they'd call us in the morning after breakfast. Since we were kid free for the night, we stayed and played a game with Caleb & Audria until well past our bedtime.
It was after 1 am before we finally got to bed and we were looking forward to sleeping in a little on Saturday! One thing we didn't count on....our internal clocks. Before 7 am we were both laying in bed wide awake. We finally convinced ourselves that it'd be best to just get up and start the day. I have a feeling it's gonna be a great day!

Yall have sooo much fun! I so enjoy reading about all yall's spur of the moment fun things to do. Congrats to Caleb and Audria on their new Jeep Wrangler, lots of fun ahead, I'm sure.
So glad y'all were able to have a date night- very important! Sounds like a great night!
If you guys get a Jeep, you'll have to tell me how it is with a house full of kids. I've wanted one since I was little, but got a Trailblazer last time because it was a bigger family car. I still really want a Jeep though!
