Trent's Almost Favorite Date!

Brooke called up out of the blue and asked if she could watch our kids on Saturday night. She asked us?!? Who does that? I didn't hesitate at all, just in case she came to her senses and took back the offer. We will always take free babysitting.....

Next was trying to figure out what to do. I was on call, so I have to have my phone with me and be able to leave instantly if I get a call AND we didn't want to spend a lot of money either. So, I came up with the idea of using our freshly purchased Rec Center passes and go exercise. I have been slacking in that department and never have time to do it anymore. Well, I have the time, but I am so depressed that I can't run anymore that I just decide to do nothing. Pathetic.
Here we are ready to go. Trent did laps in the pool and I worked on the elliptical. We both had so much fun. Trent said it was his favorite date, right after snow shoeing that is. I thought it funny that his fave date is when we weren't even together. Does that say something about our marriage? I think it just means we are so much in love and so comfortable with each other, we can do our own thing and not worry about it. Right? ;) Although I did get to look down while I was working out and watch my hot husband do his laps. I am a lucky girl. We ended up eating at Yanni's. It was a perfect meal following a fun workout.

Now Brooke being the fun Aunt that she is brought up a pizza dinner for the kids. Not only does she offer to babysit, but she offers to bring the dinner too? Really, who does this???

Then takes them to Arctic Circle to enjoy some free ice cream cones. I love this picture that she got of my Hoard. I still can't believe all those kids are mine. This picture makes me happy.

Oh and Brooke's awesomeness doesn't end there. After the ice cream treat, she took everyone home, got them in the tub (wish I had the picture Brooke took of that), and got them all ready for bed. We came home and didn't have to do anything! It was perfect. We ended the night with a showing of Fast and Furious. I thought it was dumb, but it was what I expected. Thanks Brooke for a great night out and for staying and watching the movie with us!
