Friday night picnic

Last Friday night, Doug and I really wanted to go on a date. I was still getting over my two-week cold, so at the last minute, we hunted for a babysitter. We're starting to wonder if girls in our neighborhood are nervous about babysitting two one-year old babies...I would've told someone I was polishing my shoes when I was a pre-teen to get out of it myself!  In an effort to not feel defeated on our date quest, we made a picnic and headed to our backyard with pasta salad and some black bean burgers we found on a great sale.

Needless to say, Ethan and Sydney weren't in line with our date picnic.  They were extremely irritated to be outside but stuck in their Bumbo seats unable to run around.  Our backyard is a bit treacherous these days with 2 open window wells they could fall into and lots of stairs they do not know how to climb down.  It has become an aerobic workout to be outside with them alone! I don't know why I workout when I sweat chasing them around outside.

Doug and I decided that we would have date night picnics alone or when E&S aren't grumpy. I ended up with food all over my capris and absorbed some of the grumpies myself. Yikes!
