July's Date Night

July's date night was sort of a whole weekend. We had a good friends' wedding this past weekend. And since I was in the wedding party, we decided to stay at the hotel that was near the events. The tots went to my in laws on Friday morning so Jeff and I kinda had all weekend to hang out.

Friday afternoon, we ran some exciting errands-- Lowes and Toys R Us. I had my nails done in Warwick and we needed a couple things at these stores. Then we checked into the hotel. I had to help with flowers and Jeff had to pick up a wedding guest, so we were divided for a bit. But we ended up having a nice dinner together, with 2 other couples, at the rehearsal dinner.

Saturday was a bit of a crazy day. The mornings of weddings are busy for the women involved. Jeff came by when it was safe, but i think it was more for the entertainment of seeing us get prepped vs spending quality time with me. Once the troll showed up, I didn't get to see Jeff really for awhile-- the service and pictures. It wasn't until I was formally introduced at the reception that I was able to relax in my bridesmaid duties.

The reception was great. We got to catch up with some friends during dinner. A dance or two on the floor. And best of all, no tots to come home too. We could stay up late since we knew check out wasn't until 11 am.

Sunday was the end of the weekend, but we went out with a bang. We went to Cardi's to order Lexie's new bedroom furniture. Sadly, even without the kids we still end up doing things for them. But it was nice to look around without them climbing over everything like when we bought our mattress last spring. And I got to order what I want Lexie to have, no arguing with her about the really "princessy" type sets.
