H playing a little victory tune after the Chiefs beat the Bears!
Saturday morning cuddlesThis past weekend was filled with lots of warm clothes, good food, football, and cuddling! This was our last weekend together as a Pluid family of three at home just us. So on Friday night J & I got a babysitter and went out for a date night! The big deal about that is that for the first time since Harper has entered our lives I allowed someone other than myself, Josh, or my mom to put my sweet little angel to bed. I know, I know, you probably think I am crazy, but it is one of those things that I just love being the last one to give her a kiss, say our prayers, and lay her to sleep. She typically goes to bed at 7:00, so in the past we would just have a sitter come around that time and then we would go out afterwords. She is a really great night time sleeper so we were never worried about her waking up once we were gone. However, I realized that it just might be time for me to step back from being a control freak and let a baby sitter do their job and have some actual interaction with my child. We had our baby sitter come over around 6:15 and I explained my process of bedtime to her (because of course it is the only correct way to put her to sleep and Harper wouldn't have it any other way......right?) and Josh and I left the house, with our child awake, to go out for a date.
Poor Josh could tell the second he got home that I was a tad (okay maybe a lot more than a tad) nervous about it but I know deep deep deep down in my heart somewhere I do want her to be an independent girl and to not always need her mama (sniff sniff). I did ask the sitter to text me once Harper was down just to give me a little peace of mind that things were going alright.
So, Josh was geared up to go out for a fancy steak/fish dinner and to really treat me to a nice night. But, being 35 weeks pregnant, with not many super cute clothes to wear, I was really wanting to do something more low key and just to really enjoy our time together. We ended up at this pizza restaurant called D'Bronx here in Overland Park and it was OH SO YUMMY!!!!! Giant slices of pizza, a delicious salad, and tea that tasted like the candy Peachy O's. J was unaware of this yummy gummy candy treat I was comparing my beverage to...maybe he will get some in his stocking for Christmas =). Anywho, since dinner did not take super long we decided to go and make a second stop for him to get a beer and myself some dessert so we could continue on our evening of fun. Where we ended up for date night part II was at Jack Stack BBQ and we actually sat up at the bar and just had the best time. There was not any major sporting event on so I truly got the full attention of my love and we shared the most yummy 3 kinds of chocolate brownie with ice cream on top...Oh my was it delicious! After we ended our time out, I took the baby sitter home and turned on the video monitor (a new purchase we have had for only a few weeks & what was I thinking waiting so long to get one?! They are freaking awesome!) so I could see sweet Harper snoozing away, not phased at all that someone else put her to bed and that mama & dada were away for the night. A bitter sweet moment to be honest.
Saturday and Sunday we really took it pretty easy. We watched Bedlam and my OSU Cowboys beat Josh's OU Sooners so that was a tad awesome. Then Sunday morning J made me breakfast (due to his team losing) and helped me with some chores around the house. Then the KC Chiefs won Sunday afternoon which always puts J in an extra good mood!!!! It was a great weekend for footballl. Last but not least we headed over to our friend's, The Lurvey's, house and they made us a crazy delicious dinner consisting of steak, potatoes, corn, salad and sugar cookies!!! We had such a great time just hanging out with them, listening to music and letting the kids run around and play. It was a perfect ending to a truly great weekend. I am one lucky girl =).
OH and in T-minus 4 days my family is coming to KC to stay with us.......... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Can you tell I am uber excited?!?!
