Rare Treat

Last night was a rare night for us - Hannah was gone by 4 p.m. and Jason was off work early and home by 5:15 p.m.

Before Jason even got home I had my sister coming over to babysit and dinner ready so that Jason and I could have a night out by ourselves. We haven’t really had one for ages. Jason works until 7 p.m. and doesn’t get home until almost 8 p.m. As long as there isn’t some sports thing he has to cover on a Saturday, we typically spend the day together as a family and if we go out on a date, it’s with a group.

Last night was great because it was still light outside when he got home, so I felt like there was still a lot of day left as we headed out the door.

First we headed off to Wal-Mart and just walked around for about 45 minutes. We remembered to get our Easter shopping done and found other odds and ends we need for our vacation next week. Then we decided to go and get a gelato at this new little deli by our house.

On our way to the deli we decided since we had a sitter, we should just head to the mall to pick up a birthday present. It was still light when we got there!!! I loved it!!!! We then just kinda wandered the mall and headed home about 7:30 with a stop by the deli to pick up the gelato. We got some for everybody and were home by 9 p.m. I felt like we got so much done (even though all we did really was walk around) and it was nice to have some time alone with Jason.
