My in-laws took my kids to their cottage yesterday to stay overnight. Huge treat for the kids, and us! Andy and I got to go out for dinner (brief date thanks to school running late). It's been a long time since we've had time to ourselves. Forgot what it was like.
On the way back this morning, little man fell asleep in the car, woke up when I took him out, and promptly fell back asleep on the couch. I looked over a minute ago to find him smiling in his sleep. Must be a good dream.
I rarely get to enjoy this peaceful side of my boys anymore, usually just in constant motion. Thanks God for this little reminder of how precious this time is.

Glad you got to enjoy some much needed one-on-one time with your hubby! You both deserved it.
It is great to get time like that - my wife and I spent many many years without time out like that. We are now making the most of the fact that the kids are now old enough to look after themselves for a couple of hours...
It is easy to let these years fly past in a blur. Enjoy it while you can!
I know several couples who do a date night once a month, that seems impossible to my husband and I, but I do like to try for every 3 months. Having that solo time with your partner makes you realize how much you need it!
