Anniversary, Kids, and Golf

Phil and I celebrated our 8th anniversary this year.  With three kids including a nursing baby, busy grandparents, and my two sisters going to college, it’s getting hard to find a babysitter!  So, for our anniversary we took the kids with us to dinner.  We went to Snow Hill Country Club and had a great meal.  The kids were actually very well behaved!  After we ate, we went out and let the kids practice on the putting green and the driving range.  They both love playing golf.  It is a wonderful thing to see my husband share such a passion of his with our children.  So, even though we had the kids with us on our anniversary, it was a great time.

Date Night and Food Storage

20080502 foodstorage

My mom has been wonderful since I had Brennen.  She has kept Ella and Preston over night about once a week since Brennen was born.  I’ve had a day to catch a nap, clean the house, and get a few things done.  Last night she invited them over on a Friday night.  I was on my way out the door to go to the grocery.  Yes, I know it’s sad that I spend my Friday nights at the grocery.  It works out for me because Phil is home to keep the kids and I don’t have to take them with me.  It works out even better for Phil because I go after the kids are in bed and he has a few hours to himself.  Anyway, since mom kept the kids, Phil (and Brennen) was able to go to the grocery with me.  It was nice to spend some time with Phil even if it was at the grocery.  I know it’s even more depressing that I would spend a Friday date night at the grocery with my husband but we take what we can get!  It was a good thing he went too because I stocked up on some food storage items and needed him to push a second cart.  I was able to seal the food Saturday morning when the kids were still with my mom.
