First night without the kids

Daddy wanted to take me out to dinner for my birthday. Luckily for us, Mimi offered to take the kids overnight for us. Saturday afternoon we dropped the kids off at Mimi's house. John was so excited to spend the night with Mimi and Poppie. It was Gillian's first sleepover ever. According to Mimi, it took Gillian about 20 minutes to figure out we left her. The kids were good for Mimi. Gillian had a hard time falling asleep and ended up taking Mimi's spot in her bed and kicking Mimi to the couch. Poppie woke up around 6 and found Gillian sitting up just watching him.

While the kids were having their adventure at Mimi and Poppie's hose, Daddy and I were having dinner at the Fromagerie in Rumson. First of all, it's a real treat to have a dinner out. Second, it is nice to go out without the kids. I am truly thankful to have a dinner out at a nice restaurant and that Mimi & Poppie were willing to take the kids overnight.

When we picked up the kids this morning, they came running to us. Gillian did not want Mommy at first. Daddy and I agreed that she was mad at me "for leaving her." Mimi told us all about the fun they had and explained how the princess did not want to sleep. Mimi predicted that Gillian would be asleep by the time we reached Target (which was our next stop). And Mimi was right.

Overall a fabulous weekend for our little family.
