Date Night

We had a fun Saturday! The kids woke up super early today (ARGH!). I miss the sleeping until 8 or even later days. I took S to soccer this morning. We hit Starbucks on the way to get some coffee to hopefully help keep mama awake for an hour of running around. Soccer was fun. S does such a good job listening and he has some real athletic ability. I think I might be getting a little far along in this pregnancy for the soccer thing though :- ) Then S and I brought home lunch from our usual haunt. Daddy Piper took the kids swimming after lunch while I got some housework done. An hour for me to clean, iron, and do the usual chores (while watching Sex in the City!) - it was so nice to get so much done in an hour. Both kids napped after swimming, so I crashed for a bit to restore my energy for our date tonight. After napping, we started getting ready for the wedding we attended tonight. We had a girl come watch the kids. She has been coming over every week to get to know them before we left them with her. They seem to really enjoy spending time with her and I know she enjoys them. So we got ready and left. Both kids were fine with us leaving, the drama would come later! We made it to the wedding with 10 minutes to spare. It was a gorgeous wedding!! It is a 3rd marriage for both. They really put together a nice ceremony and reception. The bride was gorgeous!! The groom just glowed with love. So nice to see people happy in love. Daddy Piper and I really enjoyed ourselves. We even danced to "Wonderful Tonight" which was a runner up for our wedding song. The frantic phone calls started about 8:30 from the sitter. S was crying and wouldn't settle down. He was the one I was worried about. Daddy Piper talked with him and tried to call him down. Well the sitter called back 5 minutes later, explaining that S was still crying. Daddy Piper told her what to do to calm him down and we didn't get anymore phone calls. We ended up staying out until 10:30 PM - late for us! Both kids were snoozing away when got home. Guess they settled down enough to fall asleep. It was a nice evening. We are going to try to do this more often - reminded us why we are together in the first place :-)
