Yesterday...

was a very productive day for us. The kids spent Wednesday night with their auntie and also part of Thursday. Wednesday night, after hubby got home from work, we saw a movie. It was really nice to have a date night because I've been wanting a break lately. After having my brother and niece here for a week, I was feeling tired and kinda burned out.

Thursday morning we got up and had the most productive day (as far as home improvements is concerned) we've had in a long time. We cleaned our garage. It took us a few hours but we got rid of a lot of "junk." We had some things that we needed to throw out and also some things to donate. We made 2 trips to Goodwill and Salvation Army (only because Goodwill wouldn't take on of our donated items). It felt so good once we got done. We were tired of course but our garage is a lot cleaner and we are happy!

Besides cleaning, we were also able to have lunch together at Chili's. They have an "endless" salad, soup and chips lunch. Definitely worth trying :) Greg ordered the "endless" soup/salad/chips lunch and I ordered quesadillas. We didn't realized until later that "endless" really meant all you can eat. When Greg ordered it we hadn't paid much attention to the name So when the waitress asked Greg if he wanted more soup and salad we were already too stuffed. Now we know and so next time we'll go on "really empty" then we can fill up. (lol)

It was so nice to have a lot of "us time" without the kids. We got alot done but we also had time to spend with each other, which doesn't happen as much as we would like. Thank God my friend offered to keep the kids over night. Of course my daughter has been begging us to allow her to sleep over my friend's house for a while. I am usually a little hesitant about letting my kids stay over anywhere. Unless it's their grandparents. In the end, I am really glad we did!
