Last night, Mike & I actually had the closest thing to a date that we've had in a while. It was an "at home" date but it was still fun. The boys went to bed with only minimal drama. We had some Jose Cuervo margheritas (already mixed and super yummy), hung out, played cards, laughed and just talked about nothing in particular. It was SO much fun. There was a time when I thought we would NEVER get to enjoy kid-free evenings again. And now we finally can! It reminded me of what it was like before we had kids. Don't get me wrong, I adore my children but it was nice to have some time together that wasn't all about the boys. We even managed to talk about non-kid related things.
I've mentioned a few times in posts how much I would love to have another child but being out of the newborn/infant phase is nice- should I really mess with that? We have 2 healthy, happy boys- are we pushing our luck to go for a 3rd? I think the timing isn't right at this moment but maybe after the new year we will be ready to take the plunge.
At any rate, it was nice to focus on our relationship and I think we will be trying to have date nights a little more often :)

At the risk of repeating myself AGAIN, I relate to every word of this post. In-home dates are the BEST. You can really just enjoy each other without worrying about paying the babysitter, or the kids having a difficult time, or the babysitter stealing your vodka... And I know what you mean about being out of the newborn phase. Having a reliable sleep schedule is life-altering. But newborns! They are ADDICTIVE.
Newborns ARE addictive...therein lies the problem!
