hats off!

A week or so ago we had "parent's night out" that our church does about six times a year that allows us SUPER DUPER inexpensive child care, so we can spend some much needed time together!  We usually go out to eat, watch a movie, or just walk around enjoying each others company, but this time we had a mission to complete!

We had to finish preparing for Miss Kirby's birthday party!  Andrew picked up his favorite (my suggestion) take out Sam's Cafe (Asian food) from the Heights on his way home and I dropped the kiddos off at church and headed back home!  We started a Christmas movie, because I just LOVE them and ate our dinner, which was oh so yummy!  Afterwards we finished putting together goodies bags and then headed off for a haircut for me!  I know that is NOT a date night, but when do you expect a Mommy of 3 kiddos to get her haircut?  So...Andrew being an amazing spouse joined me and then decided to walk around the mall, where he found the boys Christmas presents that my grandmother had been in search of for weeks (orange remote control motorcycles)!  He called her and she was super duper excited- I think she even screamed with joy over the phone!  I just love her and Pops too!

So after "dinner, movie, prepping for a birthday party, and shopping date" we headed back to church to pick up kids!  Oh!  An important part of the story is that the boys always get happy meals on parent's night out as a special treat!

On the way home the boys did this...

 

...giggles all the way home!  Happy Hats is what we all called them!

Enjoy a happy meal and make some memories out of them!  It's more than a meal- it's happiness!
