date night

Yesteday Rich's sweet sister Erika offered to have a sleepover with the boys so we could have a date night. She's fun aunt Erika and they boys LOVE her- they were so excited to sleep over at Aunt Erika's. So I took the boys down to their work so she could take them from there and Rich and I could head out for our date night. I got there expecting to do dinner and a movie or something and instead my dear hubby suggested we go shopping!! That's right, shopping. Are you so jealous? I know of no other man that will go shopping willingly, let alone suggest it. Wow!
So we visited his favorite stores- TJ Maxx and ROSS. I'd like to consider myself a bargain shopper but I'm not a digger, which is usually what you have to do at these types of stores. (Let me point out that I'm not a snob, I just don't have the patience to have to dig for something I like.) But we had a lot of fun, I sorta felt like I was in high school again. We goofed around and just hung out childless for the night. Rich got some sunglasses and I got a super cute running jacket for the upcoming chilly runs. (I did get this comment though when I told him he needed pants more than I needed this jacket- "you need to go running more than I need pants." Wha?!!! Jerk. What he meant was that he knows I want to go running and if the cute jacket will inspire me to do that, get it. So he claims....)
But by far, our best find of the night was a pair of adidas that were size 20!!! They were so awesome!! I put them on with my other shoes still on and walked around for a bit and got a few laughs, a few looks and a couple comments. I felt like a little kid in adult shoes- I didn't want to put them back. These pictures don't even do them justice:

Anyhow, then we stopped by a local burger joint (Burger King :)) and got burgers and fries. Yum! When we got home, I took a lovely bubble bath and we slept until almost 11 this morning!! I don't remember the last time that happened. Thanks Erika!!

    Wend! Size 20 shoes! Man alive, who do they think lives around there? Basketball players? Sheesh!

    That is awesome! I know, you feel like such a high schooler staying up late anymore. I agree. A Bit jealous though. It will be a long time before Ryan and I can have a kid free all nighter. :)

    Patrick likes to shop? That's awesome (and not gay). Although when Rich and I go together, we usually spend way too much money. But it's good times.

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
