Date Night is the best!

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday…the long weekend really messed me up. Not in a bad way, it was great to have an extra day but my mind keeps thinking it’s Tuesday. Monday we did coffee with Margaret (that we usually do on Sundays so that helped mess me up!) which was great as always. The boys turned into little demons on Monday, we did coffee, went to Nana and Papa’s for a tasty lunch and then napped a little and headed over for a fun Labor Day BBQ at Alisa and Holly’s.

Last night we ate our freshly caught crab. YUM! It was nice, we fed the boys a little early and they watched a movie while we had a relaxing dinner with Mary. It was nice to chat and hang out and have the boys fairly content in the next room. We put them to bed and chatted a bit more, it was really nice.

Today we had the follow up for Carlos’ testing with the preschool. He did great, actually cooperated and worked hard for an hour with the speech testing. I did a behavioral assessment while Carlos was in the other room. That proved interesting. Apparently some of his behaviors are indicators for ADHD. That was a surprise to hear for sure. I’m not sure I buy it, but only time will tell. We got back tomorrow for more testing.

Dee and I got a rare date night tonight since my mom was willing to watch the boys while we caught a movie. Saw the Bourne Ultimatum and loved it. We need to go re-rent the first two Bourne movies, we’ve seen them but it’s been awhile. We’re stuffed with popcorn and red vines and ready for bed…but the break was great, a couple hours here and there with nobody needing anything from you was much needed for both of us. It’s hard to fathom if you’ve never had 3 little ones who are “on” you all day, but sometimes you just need some space. We got a warm welcome on the return home, though, which is always sweet. I think they enjoyed the break from us as well.
