Date night

FINALLY A MOMENT TO CATCH UP ON MY BLOG! The unpacking is done, all our clothes and blankets are washed, the weeds are pulled, the lawn is mowed, the strawberries are picked, and the garden is dusted for bugs. YEA!
My parents watched our boys while I was at camp. When I got home from Girls Camp, unpacked, did laundry, did some yard work, and packed for Darryl's family reunion camping trip to Gooseberry. It's amazing how fast you can accomplish things when your not being interrupted to feed, change, or play with your kids. Darryl's reunion starts on Mon. so we decided to spend Friday working and then go down and stay at my parents house for the weekend with the kids. I was so anxious to see my boys. It's hard to not see them for a week.
Since we didn't have kids Darryl planned a date night for us. He cooked Ahi Tuna on a salt slab and Swiss chard from our garden-- Mmmmmmmmmmm! He had to take pictures of it to show everyone at work. They've heard a lot about cooking on salt but they've never done it so Darryl was experimenting for them. Then we went to the movie and saw "Get Smart." There were many classic moments that reminded us of the days watching it as a kids. Darryl was really excited to spot an old character from the original show in the movie. Then we went to the little malt shop and had an ice cream. It was so nice to spend a night with my love and not be worried about how the boys are doing with the babysitter. Thanks a ton for watching the boys Mom!

That is a once in a life time oppertunity without having to worry about how your kids are doing. I am glad you got to take advantage of it, and you had fun.

Wow, that tuna looks like something that would be served at a fine dining restaurant. Yummy! We'll have to go see that movie, Steve Carell is always hillarious.
