It's a night we look forward to every week (except the week that we babysit) ... date night! Over 2 years ago we were invited to be part of a babysitting group with 3 other couples. We rotate homes on Friday nights so each couple babysits once every 4 weeks ... that's 3 weeks of FREE babysitting in exchange for 1 completely WILD night with 15 kids running around my house!!! Drop off is at 6 P.M. and pick up is at 10:30 P.M. so we have 4 1/2 hours all to ourselves almost every Friday night - it is BLISS!! We certainly can't afford to do something fancy every week, but even if we grab a quick bite to eat and head home to watch a movie or T.V. (or clean/gut the playroom - yes, we have done that on date night) it is our uninterrupted time and I am beyond grateful for the time that we set aside to spend together ... just us. Tonight was a game of Settlers of Catan with friends, sushi for dinner, followed by gelato - perfect!P.S. Pardon the less than stellar photo - it was a low light setting taken with my camera phone and overdone flash!!! You get the idea, right?

Kari, this is such a great idea! You are so lucky to have that special time and the support system of the babysitting clan! Enjoy those Friday nights!
This is a great picture of the two of you!
John is now your biggest fan....SUSHI! He loves it and may want to switch up the restaurants when we come in 3 weeks.
I can't wait for the day when I can have a date night more than once every 5 months! It looks like life is great when you're done with school ;)
Awesome! I have had that idea, but haven't been able to talk enough others into it. Maybe I should have them call you for recommendations?! Maybe our new neighbors will be down! Yay for you!
I saw you that night....you were totally that orange....
