Tuesday was rough, but yesterday consisted of a trip to McD's to play with friends.
Playing with ribbon off of my sister's wedding gifts. I told her I'd always take free ribbon! I love to make bows. Apparently its good for something else too!
Really good naps.
Lots of smiles and laughs!
And family date night!
Wednesdays are designated as "date nights". Usually this means that Wednesdays are left open with no other activities. We eat a dinner together (which happens most nights, but ALWAYS on Wed.). We usually go somewhere as a family, whether it's to the mall to just walk around, or on a walk, picnic, park, store, wherever, just to get out. Then when Anna goes to bed, Jeremy and I watch our two favorite shows (which are on on Wed). It's the one night a week we sit down to watch TV. We enjoy watching our shows together and simply hanging out. We usually stay up late talking and although we sometimes regret it Thursday morning, it's so nice to have that time set aside uninterupted.
So last night was one of our family date nights. We went out for dinner (a big luxury around here). We went to our favorite little cafe, Cafe Italia. They have authentic, from Italy, food and its amazingly delicious. The guys in there know us and although they didn't have gelato last night, we always get some of the straight from Italy gelato. They're currently moving to a new location (bigger, more seats) to accodate the demand so they'll be closed for a month. We wanted one more peek of the cafe as it was. It was really nice and Anna enjoyed the bread big time! And they gave her some free biscotti to munch on (and more to take home) because they just love seeing her!
Then we wandered around the mall and bought Anna her Christmas present. It's really early, but it's something she can use now. It's a little walker/ride on toy. I had coupons and store credit, so we got it for just $8! And she's enjoyed it a lot! And we're going to wrap up the box to put under the tree since she loved the box more than the toy!
Then we went to Confession and Mass at the Newman Center. We came home, put Anna to bed, and enjoyed our time together!
It was wonderful and just what I needed!
