My mom and step-dad took the kids today to an indoor play place (the name escapes me) that they’d never been to before. The review was that it had more games than Chuck E. Cheese. Next, they went to Panera for lunch. Then they took them to a WWII airplane show where they got to climb in and on airplanes from that era as well as a bunch of other old military stuff. Liam said his favorite was the helicopter. Colm said his favorite was everything. They even had a band playing WWII music which I thought was pretty cool. Then they took the boys back to their house to hang out for the rest of the afternoon. What did Sean and I do the whole time they were gone??? I went and got a MUCH needed haircut while Sean went to the health club. Then I CLEANED our house. It was time. It was getting kind of yucky around here. I mopped every floor that can be mopped. I had to refill the bucket three times and went through quite a bit of vinegar. I then vacuumed every floor/area rug that can be vacuumed. I cleaned all the toilets and did the dishes. The only thing I didn’t get to that still REALLY needs to be done is cleaning the bathroom vanities. I know that none of that sounds very fun, but it seriously needed to be done. Then, when Sean came home, we went out to a nice lunch all by ourselves at WilJenny’s. I had the yummiest lunch. I wish I would have taken a picture for you. It was about four or five huge shrimp wrapped in bacon covered with spicy mango salsa all on a bed of tomato cheese grits. Seriously. It was SOOO good. Then we went to the grocery store-by ourselves. Really, a heavenly experience. Then we came home, unpacked the groceries and went to Costco. Again, by ourselves. Do you know how much you can get done without the kids in tow. It’s amazing really. Some couples have date nights, we had a date day. Thanks, grandparents. 🙂
