Danny and I had big date plans for Saturday night! It had been awhile since we have had a babysitter, so we were looking forward to the chance to slip away all week. It seems everything we did on Saturday was dependent on whether or not we could get home on time. So you can understand our disappointment when time for our babysitter to arrive came and went, and all of her contact numbers went straight to voicemail. It felt like we'd been stood up.
So, in an effort to save our date night we invited the boys to come along. We went and saw an early showing of the Lego movie. Will has been SO excited to see this show. When I was getting tickets he went straight up to the window and told the guy that we we going to the Lego movie. He was so insistent on it, that it made several people behind us in line giggle.
The movie ended up starting 30 minutes late, but it didn't hamper his enthusiasm a bit! The movie was decent, Will and Danny love it, and Ben declared himself "done" about 45 min. till the end. On the way to dinner afterwards Will insisted that we sing the "best song" the whole way there. The best song being "everything is awesome". That has got to be the worst song ever written and now my son absolutely love it!
We went a few places for dinner, but with it being prime dinning time everywhere was a bit to packed for us. We picked up a few things at the grocery store and headed home. I had gotten the boys hot dog and crescent rolls as a special treat while the babysitter was here so we decided to whip those up for dinner. Will kind of freaked and insisted we needed to go on a date, because the hot dog were only for when mom and dad were on a date. It was pretty sweet but, we eventually convinced him he could eat them even though we were home.
Not exactly date night, but we had a fun family night for less than we would have paid the babysitter. :)
