Last night Brandon & I did something we do not do enough of. We had an actual date night. Sometimes we have his parents watch the kids and we run out for dinner & to run errands.... but that is not a date. Last night our good friend Kathy watched the boys. The boys were great for her. She is such a loving person & I know they can feel that. You know how kids can just sense good people. For those of you who know Tara (the girl who stayed with us during the mission trip), Kathy is Tara's Mom. It is nice to know that they were in good hands. Connor did however manage to get to stay up 1 hour past bedtime.... but that's OK.
Brandon & I went to Universal City Walk. We ate at Pastamore. I am usually not big on chain restaurants, but the sangria, calamari & salads were fantastic! I would go there again just for that. The pizza was good, but not great. The sangria was so good I asked for the recipe. After that we headed over to Hard Rock Live and watched a great comedian, Brian Regan. If you have never heard of him he is worth checking out. We laughed for 2 hours straight. You can check him out at http://www.brianregan.com/
Today after church we took the boys out to breakfast and it was by far the best meal "out" we have ever had with them. They both ate well, no one was trying to get out of their chairs. We actually enjoyed a meal in a restaurant together. I shouldn't act like we never do.. it's just that they are young and it is hard to sit in a chair for an hour with nothing to do.
After breakfast we took them swimming at the club & now they are down for naps. Connor has already asked to go back swimming after the nap. He loves it!
