Today is our nine year anniversary. JP arranged for Simran and my brother to come watch the kids, so we could go out for a quiet dinner. This was a surprise for me...JP took care of it all. He was even dressed in a long sleeve shirt. I'm sure all of you will be surprised when I say that we left all four with Simran, my brother joined her later.
JP mentioned some places to eat, and I sugested Pei Wei, because I was in the mood for lettuce wraps. So I know that is not the most romantic dinner, but being out without kids was the real treat for us. Towards the end of our dinner a family with three young boys sat near us. With the father watching the kids at the table and the mom ordering food it was a scene that made me miss our kids. I asked JP if watching them made him miss our kids, he said no. It just reminded him that we didn't have any kids to watch over.
After dinner we went for dessert. We went to Chili's because he knows how much I like the paradise pie, and it had been awhile since I had it. It had actually been so long that I must confess that I had to look at the menu to remember the name. Of course I had my mango tea, and JP decided to have a margarita.
When we came home Simran had the two little ones asleep, and the older two were in bed already with my brother. So many thanks to her for letting us have a dinner without the kids.
staying cool!
amazing kids...amazing life!
