Thank goodness for Date Nights!

YAY! Kent and I got to go out on Saturday. Thanks for baby-sitting Shelbi! I think it was the last time we'll be able to take the motorcycle out, it was raining when we woke up this morning, and I think Fall has arrived! We went for a little ride then went and saw "Burn After Reading." We weren't too impressed, I would not recommend going to the theatre for this one. Although, Brad Pitt did have a funny role in it. After that we took our time strolling the mall and going out to eat and enjoying our dinner leisurely at the same time! It was great.

I realized that this blog has been all about the kids, so here is what is going on in our lives:

Kent: Has been enjoying riding his motorcycle to work everyday (I am wondering if he is taking a LONG way home on some nights). He got to have a guys night out TWICE in the last week. First at a poker party with some friends, then he went out with his group of friends from high school for dinner the other night. AND he helped Bryan with his basement (IDK what they worked on), AND he is playing flag football on Sundays with a work team. No wonder I have been going insane lately, he tells me he never gets to go out. PUULLEEAASSE!

Christy: I have been rather busy lately too, which has been nice. Last week I got to go to a Bunco party (which makes me sound so old), but it was a blast! I have to say, it's a fun game, and there's no strategy involved, so you can sit and chat with adults for hours! Our next one is going to be a Halloween Bunco party with costumes, do you think Kent will join me for this one??? Anyone want to be my date? :) So far I have had to go solo the last two times.

Also, I had my book club on Monday night, which was so fun at Julie's. She is so crafty, she had prizes for us, if we did certain things related to the book we read. Which was, "The Next Thing on My List." I did get a prize, but I'm not going to tell you what I had to do, (Kent thought I was nuts). I loved the book and we had a great discussion, one of my goals is to complete a triathlon next Spring. Does anyone want to train with me, and does anyone have a bike I can borrow? Mine won't cut it.

I also filled in for a friend's outdoor soccer team, but I pulled a muscle AGAIN, so I have to sit this weekend out. I tell ya, once you're old with an injury it keeps re-occurring, what a bummer!

Lastly, tap is back on! Last year I joined my mother-in-law in tap class with her friends. It is one of the funnest hours of my week. As most of you know, we put on a show in June dancing to "Bad to the Bone." I do have it on video and it is quite entertaining, chair props and all. This year we have new songs and some quick routines, I will keep you posted for the showtime in Spring. :) Some of the ladies don't want to perform again, but I say, why are we doing this then? My friend, Leigh, is joining us this year, I am so excited!

That's more than a tid-bit on our lives.... our next big adventure is our cruise in 7 days! I am going with my boys, and Auntie Kalin is watching the girls for us! We love you for that, and lots of other reasons too. :)
