Date Weekend

After Caleb's party on Friday, Papa and Grandma were nice enough to keep the boys for the weekend and Mike and I drove back to SL that night. We got 2 nights and 1 1/2full days all to ourselves and we tried to make the most of it. Mostly we decided to take advantage of having no kids and were able to get a ton of Christmas shopping done for them. We were all over this valley but we got so much done, it was unbelieveable the difference it makes not having to drag along 3 kids when you are out and about. We shopped and shopped and also got a couple of errands done that we had been neglecting. We were able to also have some quality us time with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch while we were at the mall and to the Grizzlies hockey game on Sat night. Grizz win 8 to 2 and there were a few good fights so it was an awesome game :). Then stayed up late next to the fireplace and watched a movie together. It was so nice.
We also had big plans to get a ton of housework done before my party this weekend and we got a good start on it today, but not as far as we had hoped. Here's hoping for a cooperative week from the boys to get some more of it done.
Thanks again Papa and Grandma, it means so much to us to get some us time once in a while. We really appreciate it each and every time. You guys are the best!
