Double Date Weekend!

Well, double in the sense that I got two fabulous dates this weekend with both of my guys! On Friday night, Matt and I got a wonderful, long awaited date night to our favorite restaurant. It is by far one of our top 3 in Dallas (well, Frisco anyway)! The kids had one of their favorite sitters, Jenny. They love her to pieces. In fact, whenever it isn't Jenny, Max tends to call the other sitters by the name of "Notjenny". No joke, he doesn't refer to them by name, but by Notjenny!

Anyway, we went out to dinner. We had some very nice adult conversation as opposed to the constant, "sit on your bottom, Cate" or negotiating with Max on how many more bites he needs to eat before he gets dessert! After a delicious meal, we had some time to kill before it was time to go back home. It was before their bedtime when we finished and we wanted the kids to be in bed BEFORE we returned. So, we went and got a few last minute gifts before returning. Once we got home, we cuddled up on the couch to watch "The Soup". This is our latest Friday night obsession. Love it!

Now, on to the the second date. This one was with my little man, Maxman! The two of us went to see "Bolt" in 3D. It was a lot of fun. We each got a popcorn and drink and then donned our special 3D glasses. I wasn't sure if he would want to wear them the whole movie, but he did and he LOVED it. It was an adorable movie and I so enjoyed watching him giggle at the funny parts. He looked so cute and happy sitting at the edge of his seat (he was afraid the seat would fold up on him if he leaned back despite me telling him otherwise). Here we are with our special glasses after the movie. Of course, I didn't take my camera to the movies, and he just looked so darn cute. So, we smuggled them out (we were supposed to return them after the movie).

Overall, it was a fun and memorable weekend with my two favorite guys! Only one more day before we leave for Christmas, so I'll be on blogging hiatus for the next week or so! I want to wish all of you a blessed Christmas and a safe New Years!

What fun date nights. The Soup? Is that the one on E! My husband loves it too. He just laughs and laughs. We took Cavett to see Bolt, but we didn't do the 3D. I was afraid he would be freaked out. The fire bothered him anyway.

I hope y'all have safe travels and a Merry Christmas.

Allison said...

Jennifer - yes, that is the one on E!

Hey--my husband and I watch the Soup regularly as well! Great show. Have a good holiday and wave to the cows for me--I won't make it to Hereford this year.

Lindsay said...

NotJenny - that's hilarious!

Have a very merry christmas and we'll "see" you when you return!

What a great way to start and end the weekend! Maybe we'll see Bolt over the Xmas holiday. I also worry about my kids getting squished by the chair - they're so light! Merry Christmas to you too!

"....or negotiating with Max on how many more bites he needs to eat before he gets dessert!"

You have no idea how EXCITED I was to read that little sentence. We do that same exact thing with the Little Imp! Oiy! *lol*

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I think the hubby and I need a date night. I'd love to sit through a meal with zero negotiations unless it had to do with how much of a tip to leave our server!

Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I am glad to have a new blog friend! :) Enjoy your little ones this week. I look forward to hearing how much they loved Christmas.

Jennifer said...

I'm glad you had a couple of fun dates! You guys look cute in your glasses.

I love The Soup too--SO funny!!
