Bounce House

It was a wonderful weekend!  Christopher and I had a really great time on our date last night.  We walked Christina through the bedtime routine.  The kids warmed up to her really quick.  Cooper kept laughing at her and Charlotte even sat on her lap!  Once we got them to sleep we went to dinner at Islands.  It was great to be able to focus on the conversation with each other and not worry about two little ones.  I love talking with my husband...politics, religion, life, goals, jobs, just everything!

After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble.  I haven't been to the bookstore in awhile, partly because I don't have much time lately, but mostly because I have a tall stack of books to read already.  Of course we couldn't resist buying books.  I bought a couple more Philippa Gregory books because they are quick reads and I like the historical fiction genre.  We also bought this funny book that has 500 how to things in it...like how to rip a phone book in half, how to diaper a baby, how to hug a hedgehog. 

We also bought the kids some books.  We bought three Dr. Seuss books...I want to eventually own them all.  We also bought Bear Wants More.  I LOVE reading Bear Snores On to them, so I was so excited to find this book too.  It's a lot fun to be able to share our love for reading with our children, especially since Charlotte is starting to show more interest in books.

After our date night we've decided to make date night a monthly thing.  We promised each other to find a babysitter at least once a month and go spend some uninterrupted time together.  I'm really looking forward to our date nights!

Today I had a great time at Brandy's baby shower.  It is amazing how many different philosophies on birthing, breastfeeding and parenting there are!  Sometimes I feel a little judged and sometimes I feel a little judgmental.  I am especially surprised at how afraid so many women are of the birthing process.  Most of the women at the party were all about getting epidurals and absolutely would never consider a birthing center or home birth.  I guess to each their own!

Now I'm off to watch some TV with my husband...and I need to prepare for work tomorrow!  It's going to be a busy week at work, but at least next weekend is my 3 day weekend!

Here's the latest fun with Cooper!
