A time to talk, a time to have fun

I am super excited about this weekend...we actually have the whole weekend without kids!!

Well, not the WHOLE weekend.  But about 40 hours worth, and that is a LOT, when you have 3 kids.  One kid is easy to find a babysitter for, but 3???  It definitely gets trickier as the number of kids goes higher.

So a BIG thank you to my hubby's family and our loads of friends who are making this happen for us.  We SO need it. And probably every other parent out there is thinking the same thing, harhar.

Tonight we have reservations at a restaurant/jazz club, which is one of my first loves.  And tomorrow, well....tomorrow we have plan A, plan B and plan C, depending on what we are feeling like.  We've been going through some processing lately, especially myself.  Processing can be hard to do with children around.  Almost impossible, to do it really well, and deeply.

But we've come to realize that while we have some ground to make up in our marriage, we cannot always spend the time we have together in "serious" study or talk. We also need to relearn how to have fun together.  So in these last few months, we have gone bowling and to the arcade.  I definitely do better at the arcade!!  As the weather warms up, we look forward to some mini-golf and biking on the rail trails.

When was the last time you did something fun with your special someone?  Is it time to plan something?
