Honestly, I barely remember what I used to do on a Saturday night before kids. Okay, that's a lie. I do remember ... sort of ... but I choose not to think about the details of that carefree time of my life ... lest I get all depressed and stuff! No, I am only kidding! I won't trade this time of my life for anything!
After a rainy, dreary day, CPV rallied the troops and took all three of his girls on a date. Or maybe we took him since it is Father's Eve. Either way, we were all presentable and left the house in a semi-not-chaotic state - always a good thing ... on both counts!
Daddy got to choose the restaurant, and no surprise ... he wanted to go to Stan's BBQ.
Charlotte loves food with a little "kick" ... she gobbled up smoked meatballs and baked beans!
Natalie tends to be drastically less adventuresome with her palate. She opted for mac-n-cheese and whatever bread she could get her hands on!
Dinner was followed by ... drum roll, please ... dessert! At our favorite local cupcakery, which just happens to be walking distance from the barbecue place. Trust me, Chad's choice was most definitely not a coincidence! We ordered two cupcakes: banana with whipped chocolate frosting and chocolate with cookies-n-cream frosting ... both were delicious!
I am super bummed that I didn't take a photo of the cupcake eating! That would've been so much cuter than a bowl of processed cheese-covered noodles! We did, however, have a delightful conversation with an older couple, who were there when we arrived. They have 9 grandchildren living in three different states, which explains why they were so entertained by Natalie's journalistic sense of question-asking and story-telling!
We finished off our date night with a walk down the railroad tracks. The rain had finally stopped, and despite a heavy layer of clouds, it was actually a very nice evening. I especially love that I was able to get four good photos ... with my point-n-shoot!
Perhaps the best part, we were home and in our jammies by 9:00! Now, that's my kind of Saturday night!
