Wednesday already...how did that happen?

DH and I have been enjoying our kid free week so far. Sunday night was dinner with neighbors. Monday night was burgers and movies...last night was a quiet night in with yummy leftovers another neighbor dropped off (she didn't want me to have to cook). Not sure what we are doing tonight...but tomorrow is dinner our with more neighbors.

Hmmmm...what does this make me realize....time flies and we have great neighbors!

Our little sweetheart was stung 11 times at camp on Monday while picking blueberries. Her friend was stung 13 times. The camp nurse did a wonderful job. I still had multiple calls with CHOP (due to bee sting allergy being in on family) and camp...but everything has worked out OK. She and her friend rejoined their troop's activities on Tuesday.

A week without kids!

Our summer nanny is on vacation this week.  As soon as I found out her schedule, I contacted the grandmom's.  "Wouldn't you like some 1x1 time for a few days this summer with your grandchildren?"  The result:

ALR is with my Mom from Sunday-Wednesday.  JAL is with my Mother in Law. 
Wednesday - SWITCH DAY
ALR is with my Mother in Law from Wednesday to Saturday.  JAL is with my Mom.

Sunday evening through Saturday morning we are kid free...yes, you read that right.  Sunday through Saturday with no kids!  Can you believe it?  What I'm most amazed at so far is how clean, neat and tidy the house is.  When I leave for work in the morning, everything is in exactly the same place when I come home.  AMAZING!  There is also a hell of a lot less laundry accumulating.  And food...gee, it's not disappearing at alarming rates.

So, what have we been up to? 
  • Sunday night...a 3 mile run together with sushi for dinner. 
  • Monday-work for both of us.  Shopping in the evening...we bought Jeans (old navy is having a great sale), a new digital camera, shoes, groceries.  I didn't have to say "NO" 100 times at the grocery store...hubby didn't beg for anything!
  • Tuesday-work during the day, really nice dinner at a culinary school and gambling at the new Sands Casino in Bethlehem
  • Wednesday-work, plan is to run 5 miles in the evening (hopefully together)
  •  Thursday, Friday???
Anyone have any suggestions for Thursday night or Friday nights?  Movies?  More dinner out?
