Guess what? I had TWO nights out last week! That was a real treat for me! No, I did not plan it that way, but things just happened that way. Thanks to my very capable husband who has made my nights out possible (he was the babysitter).
I caught up with a friend over dinner for one of the evenings. It was a rather stormy night, but we went ahead as planned. We had our food, and for most of the time, we chatted and chatted and chatted. About everything. I really appreciate that sort of time with a girl friend. As for the other evening, we were invited to a friend’s 40th birthday dinner. As we could not find a babysitter on time, Robin volunteered to babysit the boys while I get to go! How good was that? The evening was very lovely indeed. I got to know some new people and managed to catch up with some old friends too. The birthday girl was gorgeous and I was so glad I could be part of the celebration. Thank you, my friend!
Anyway, while the *boss* (ahem, that’s me!) was not home, the monkeys were up to mischief! The father brought them out for dinner and then bought home some ice-cream!! Honestly, the ice-cream part wouldn’t have happened if I were to be with them. Not that I am against ice-cream, but that we already have ice-cream at home, and I only use ice-cream for special treats when they are very very good. Well, maybe they have been good …. anyway, I think that’s another reason why the boys love their father. 🙂 The husband even took photos to show me the boys eating ice-cream and how much they enjoyed it. Here’s one:
Just look at their happy faces,
I was told that Athan *drank* the ice-cream like soup when he was almost finished ….
Yup, he absolutely wants to finish the last drop! And, by the way, this is how he drinks soup at home. 🙂
