So Friday was our 5th anniversary.  Eric came home from work a little early, and my parents came up in the afternoon and hung out for a bit.  Then Eric and I headed out for a date night, and my parents took care of the babies (read: my mom took care of babies and my dad held the one my mom wasn’t attending to!).  It was such a great night.  We drove over to Easton for dinner.  We spent some money on ourselves, and we walked casually around.  The rule of the night: Don’t Rush! 

Of course, by 8:30, I was pretty well spent, so we headed home.  We chatted with my parents for a bit before they headed home.  Then we watched a movie together before getting to bed.  Note to self: midnight is WAY too late for a bedtime anymore.  And that was that!

(I did mention to Eric, on Saturday morning, that we need to institute date night.  Getting out was good for me, and we need to do it more often, even twice a month.  He seemed amenable to the idea, so we’ll have to see what we can come up with.)

Saturday was a productive day at home.  I planted my impatiens, ran some errands, cleaned the kitchen and took care of babies.  Eric cleaned carpets and grilled our dinner.  And we all went to bed early!

Sunday, we just hung out at home after church.  Eric wasn’t feeling great, but he graciously went to a cookout in the evening because I wanted to go.  And I had a great time there.  Some friends from Estonia were there since they are in town, and there were lots of other people I don’t usually get to chat with around.  The host tends to throw “multi-parties” where she invites everyone she knows from various groups (ie, work, college, church, or any combination thereof), and the groups don’t always blend well.  But last night was one well-blended, so that was nice.

We had another early bedtime, which was also nice.  And now, it’s Monday. 

I don’t have a lot planned for the week, so we shall see what comes up.  But it was a great weekend, for sure!
