Parents for the Weekend

Hubbs and I 'babysat' this weekend for the kid I used to nanny from 2.5 to 7 years old. He's 13 now. I say 'parents' but it was more like I was the mom and Hubbs took the role of cool older brother. I still had to do all the stuff like making dinner, clean up, reminders to brush teeth and I could see the two of them out there playing catch, hours of ping-pong and playing video games. I felt like next time his mom is just going to ask Andrew to come babysit and leave me at home!!

It was weird to see him all grown up. I remember him being so small and used to snuggle with me and tell me he loved me. Now he's taller than me, and 'snuggling' just wouldn't be appropriate anymore :) It was such an odd nostalgic feeling. He's practically all grown up!

It was neat to see Andrew in that context. I've seen him with his nieces and nephews and he will be a great dad. And I *hope* we raise our kids to be more helpful, and they will definitely have chores. I'm not doing everything myself! All that playing and cleaning up was exhausting. A long couch nap was had by both of us on Sunday. But it was fun.

date night (?)

Last night I didn't have to work late at work, so Hubbs and I had the evening together. Is it really a 'date night' when you just eat leftovers and watch a movie and then go to bed? I guess we just aren't that exciting anymore :)

We watched 17 Again, which I picked up at Target for $4.75. I had seen it before and I still liked it the second time.

Hubbs was laughing too.

Anyway, maybe tonight is another date night qustion mark. His parents are taking us out for dinner to celebrate our 1 year. So yes, I guess that's a double date!

Tennis & Geocaching

Last night we met up with my best friend and her hubbs. We played the laziest tennis game ever, or maybe I just felt that way since it hardly came to me. My friend's husband is really into geocaching. Apparently it's like treasure hunting in a city using some sort of gps thing. So he gets his fancy phone out and soon we are following a digital compass. We get to a tree and bench outside a resteraunt and start to look around. I've heard crazy things about the treasure being buried underground, in water, super hard to find, etc, not our case last night. Less than 2 minutes later my friend's husband announced he had found it. It was a tiny plastic jar, like what paint comes in w/ the snap lid, and it had a magnet glued to it to hold it under the bench. Sometimes there are tiny trinkets, or coins or something for a treasure inside. This one just held a scroll for you to put your name and date on it. We didn't even have a pencil. So my first experience with geocaching was not really that exciting, but I can see how it might otherwise be fun.

Lincoln Lawyer

Last night we went to see a movie:

I wish working in a law office was that exciting!

It was a good movie and a nice treat after a long, not so great day. We love living close to a dollar theatre! Actually we can never figure out the pricing, sometimes it's 50 cents, at most it's $2.50. But cheap!
