Date Night

Marc's buddy from work is turning 50 so as a surprise his wife rented a suite at the A's game and invited 54 of his closest friends.  We were invited as a family but because it was a night game we decided we would have a much better time if we left the kids with a babysitter.  (On a side note, Riley was 4 1/2 on Friday, I can't believe my baby girl is getting so old!).  So we had Jacob's teacher from his infant room come over, we knew they would be in great hands, Riley loves her as does Jacob once he gets over the fact that mommy is leaving.  When we opened the door and he saw her and ran to me and hid, then clung to me until we left.  Poor guy has major separation anxiety.  We had a great time at the game, seriously a suite at the Colisseum is the only way to go!

Date Day

Since my mom was in town, Marc and I took advantage of having a free babysitter on Saturday afternoon and we snuck out for a date day (our compromise since there was a World Series game on at 4:00). We went for lunch, had some margaritas (Marc had beer), then went to Old Navy and a few other stores before going to see a movie and eating obscene amounts of popcorn (so much that I was nauseous!). We thought about it and it was the first movie we had seen together since Riley was about 3 weeks old! That was nearly 21 months ago! It was glorious!
