Night out !!

Mike and I were able to enjoy a night out with some friends of ours this past Friday night. They were coming through town, and their daughter was with his family, so we thought it might be a fun idea to have an "adult night" without the girls. So, we asked Mike's parents if they would be interested in watching Anne Marie while we had dinner with our friends. I don't even think we had to finish our questions before they said YES!

So, we got Anne Marie's bags packed -- and Grandma got ready for her -- a new toy to play with (a Mr. Potato head kit), special food for dinner, juice boxes, and her favorite fruit - GRAPES! When we pulled in the driveway she yelled --- "Yea! Ganma houussse!" We went in, and I think she knew something was a "little funny" -- but she pulled them into the spare bedroom (now, known as the TOY ROOM!) and off we went out the door.

We were only gone maybe 2 - 2 1/2 hours -- just dinner and a relaxing visit with our friends, then we were back to pick Anne Marie up from Grandma's house. She didn't want to leave! She wanted to keep playing with the kitchen they have there for her!! She had a GREAT time!! Grandma even took some pictures of their special evening and e-mailed them to me!

Thanks so much Grandma & Grandpa for helping Mom and Dad have a nice night out -- and thanks for a F-U-N evening (from Anne Marie) --- Anne Marie is so lucky to have such loving Grandparent's!!
