v-day- a week early



i was talking with my mother-in-law on thursday evening and she asked if she could watch the boys for us saturday night. heck yeah! so ben and i decided to celebrate our v-day date night on saturday, as jonas is having a minor outpatient surgery next thursday, and we are not sure if we would be able to leave him at home next weekend. anyway, ben came home with some beautiful flowers for me.



then we got ready and went out to the waterfront. we went to pf changs- one of our favorite places to eat- for dinner. a table for 2 had a 3 hour wait- can you believe it??? we waited at the bar (i really love that all restaurants are now smoke free, and without 3 kids in tow, it was no big deal to wait) for only 45 minutes and then were able to sit and eat at the bar. we shared some dumplings and chicken lettuce wraps. then we split some crispy honey chicken with brown rice- delicious!!!

after dinner, we went to the improv (one of our new favorite date night activities). larry miller was the headliner. and he was hilarious. it was clean too! we had some cherry cokes and some banana foster bites with strawberry sauce and whipped cream. larry miller was awesome! we spoke with him after and purchased his book, spoiled rotten america, which he signed for ben. i took a picture of ben with larry miller, but i closed his cell phone without saving it. i tried to convince ben to let us go back to get another picture, but ben thought that would be silly. we headed home and all our children were in bed- fabulous! what a wonderful v-day celebration!

Little Jomi is "undescended" in the nether regions. It's a small surgery, so hopefully all will go well!
Thank you Jen!
And nope, I am keeping my M-in-L nearby!!!
