Last night my great friend Jennifer offered to take our three children OVERNIGHT for hubby and I. We had taken her three kids a few weeks ago for a couple of nights...and as a thank you, she and her hubby decided to take our kids and give us a very nice gift certificate to Opah. A restaurant we like to go to!
I dropped the kids off at 4p.m and met Hubby at the car wash! We sat and chatted while the cars were being washed.
Cost of car wash = $30.00
Then we went to a movie...Step Brothers. Very, very funny movie...but also very vulgar!
Cost of movie with popcorn and water = $21.50 (we had a one free movie pass)
Then we went to Opah and split an appetizer and dinner.
Cost of dinner = Free (gift card from Schmidts...and we have more for another night!)
We sat and talked at dinner and closed the place down! We had such a nice time talking...with no interruptions from the kids. AND we didn't have to hurry, since we weren't paying a sitter.
The cost of this date night normally would have been $196.50. (Assuming that we had our normal sitter at $10 an hour) Thank you Kent and Jen for allowing us to have an affordable night out!We had such a fabulous time. It is always so nice to reconnect with one another after a long week.
Cost of the Schmidt's friendship = PRICELESS

I'm so glad you guys got to have a great night out and a slow dinner.
Free babysitting and great friends are the best!
Aw, cute post, Nyla! It was our pleasure and we are so grateful for you guys keeping our kids 3 nights! I just want it to be known that we did give you guys enough money to not have to split a meal!! :)
I am so happy you had a great night and wonderful friends to watch you "babies". It's so nice to know you can have quality time with your husband knowing your kids are in good hands and you don't have to worry. What a great night!
I'm so glad you got to have this!!! We almost never get away for any kind of a date...I'm going to have my husband read your post...hopefully it will inspire him!!!
Looks like you had a lovely weekend - I guess that's why Jen was AWOL from our Scrabble game for awhile :).
