Date Night

Ahhhh, Gabe is home!

Oh, how I've missed him! I didn't really realize how much I missed him until he was actually standing in person hugging me on our porch. It's so great to finally have him back.

So, after being away from each other for 5 weeks we decided that a date was in order. And not just any date night. We wanted the whooooooole night to ourselves. We arranged to have both our boys stay the night with Pops and Leenie.

I had it planned out perfectly and was super excited! I mean, come on! We haven't been alone together for 40 days!

I decided to go all out for my husband. I redid my hair, wore a little bit more make up, dressed a little cuter, wore our favorite perfume from our wedding day. Gabe didn't even know our plans until I picked him up from work with the kids and their luggage in tow. So he was doubly excited with this new turn of events.

We dropped off the kids at Pops and Leenie's house. Gave them instructions, which let me tell ya, wasn't much because, let's face it, my boys are awesome.

Off we went! We stayed in the area and ate Mexican food, which is Gabe's favorite. Walked around Target for a little while. (Yes, this is weird, I know. Wait til you have two kids and then tell me where you take your date nights!) It was so nice. We got to talk without being interrupted. Actually, we got to talk about whatever we wanted without worrying what little ears can hear! We got to eat our food while it was still warm. And, best of all, we got to take our time. We just got to slow down. It was so wonderful.

I had decided earlier that before we continued our night we would return to my dads house and put Dax to sleep. And then after that, we were going to hit the town and do whatever our hearts desired! Dax doesn't have any trouble falling asleep, but I was a little leery of having someone else do it because I do it so well. I can have him in bed in under 15 minutes every time.

I got everything ready. Set up the crib, made Dez's pallet, had a bottle ready. Dax was tiiiiiiired too! I'd have him out in no time at all! He finished his bottle with heavily lidded eyes and was about to be laid down in his bed.

And then he threw up.
All over himself.
All over his blanket.
All over me.

Whoa! Ok! Um... it's just a little spit up right? He can still stay here tonight. It's just spit up! Nothing to worry about! He's NOT sick! I'll clean all this up and then we can be going. No worries!

And then he threw up again.  Everywhere.

Ok, fine. Dax is sick.

With the help of Gabe we cleaned up the vomit and loaded everything back into our car and the rest of the evening was spent carefully monitoring our children for the next sign of throw up or sickness.

Not exactly how our date night was supposed to turn out but needless to say, we have another date night planned for the near future!
