Day 5 Best night out.
This is the one that stands out the most. Most likely because it was the best night out ever. With having kids, espically young children you do not get many chances to have a night kid free. And in any relationship espcially a marriage it is very important to spend time together with your husband/partner.
The best thing about this night out was my wonderful husband arranged it all for me. I think that means the most to any stay-at-home parent ( ok there are a few dads out there who stay at home and look after the children), that their partner (in my case husband) goes out of their way to organise a babysitter for the kids and then plans a night out for their loved one.
Funny as we have had this discussion at play group one morning and out of all the mums there, there was only 2 husbands who have done this. Of course mine was one of them. So with all the other mum's complaining that their husband never plans a night out, let alone a babysitter, l can say l am very glad l have a thoughtful and romantic husband.
So the evening came and my folks were to come over to our place and look after the kids, and even stay the night. Now i was sure in luck to have my folks over here. It was a first for the kids and also for my folks.... but l thought they would survive the night.... as we were here... but how wrong was l.... will explain later... l am getting there.
I knew we were heading to Gold Class movies which included a meal with the movie. So it was all about sitting back with a meal, glass of wine and just enjoying the peace and quiet (except for the movie), and watching a movie without kids interrupting us.
Afterwards seeing it was a lovely evening we headed down to the beach (about 1/2 hour away from the cinemas) and enjoyed a walk along the beach.
Then it got confusing.... Nige was rather sure we should go and see something else... I was happy to thinking we were off for a drive and maybe an ice-cream.
But he had me wondering where in the world we were heading, we kept getting closer to home. " i don't want to go home" i was thinking.... The further we went the more confused and puzzled l was getting and l knew Nige was loving this, as it is very hard to keep things from me as l am very good at guessing.
But where we ended up l would have never guessed it ever.... We had eneded up in a hotel.. Of course Nige told me we were there for dessert. I was thinking 11pm is a little late for dessert isn't it.
But no my sneaky and wonderful husband had organised a room for the night for us. And not just any room, but a room with a spa which also came with wine and chocolates.
What a sneaky bloke he is. He had even sneaked out during the day (his excuse was a trip to Bunnings) but in fact he really was heading to the hotel with our bags already packed. He had managed not only to pack my bags without me knowing but also some music, our CD player and even some clothes for the next day. How did l not even notice some things were missing. Oh and l can't forget to mention the amazing bunch of flowers too he left (see above pic).
And a thought quickly came to mind "how were ,mum and dad to cope with 2 kids on their own for a night"....
But don't worry those thoughts soon quickly passed and l planned to enjoy an evening with my husband and a 'do not disturb sign on the door.
