Date Night

Finished all my Christmas shopping! Now I just have to wrap it all and let the kids finish helping me make Christmas cards. I hand crafted 15 cards and have the intention of letting the kids color the inside of them all. Thought it would be so cute and personal this way. Unfortunately, we arent going to have the time for any of this today. A friend of ours is having a Christmas party today in Dallas. We are suppose to head there about 2. It's a few of my favorite people, so Im excited to attend.

So this last week, we made the decision that we would like to switch Lorelai to a toddler bed. Well turns out a friend of ours had one sitting in their garage that they wanted out. My husband picked it up yesterday evening, once I came back from shopping. I knew we were getting it so I had picked up some bedding for it while I was out. Now their room has 2 adorable little beds. One covered in Lightning Mcqueen and Mater and one covered in LalaLoopsy(i think the stuff from them is so cute). They both successfully slept in them last night. We put the beds right next to each other. So they have their separate beds but arent far from each other. I went in later in the night to check on them and they were sprawled out and asleep right next to each other but still on their own beds. Totally made me giggle. They slept very well and then I heard them up early just playing together and laughing. I cant believe we are to this point with both of them. I have to tell you it feels nice. No more waking up to a baby crying from a crib.

Once they were asleep, our favorite sitter came over to stay with them. I had bought a groupon a little while back for Louie Louie's Piano Bar in Arlington. I have to tell you, that was most fun I have ever had at a bar. Normally I hate bars. Too much smoke and people acting stupid. However, even though a good portion of people there were smoking, they actually had the place pretty well ventilated. I didnt feel like I was breathing in so much of it and the smell was being carried out. I found a drink on their menu that was really good too. Im normally very picky with what I like to drink. I dont like a drink to just taste like alcohol.  Im also never drinking to get drunk. I order things that taste good, period. Otherwise I dont want to spend the money. They had this drink called Sweet Child of Mine. It was exactly what I look for in a drink, I was very impressed. Now, if you are a modest mouse kind of person this place IS NOT for you. However, my husband and I are very open minded and dont discriminate on the joke front. The entertainment of this place was uncomparable! First off, their musicians were incredibly talented. Seriously anything requested they could play and sing. Also, they were quick thinking and incredibly funny. There is a lot of audience involvement as well. I myself ended up as part of an all girl conga line. The entire show was just a really good time. My husband and I both agreed we would be going back. Even our waiter was incredibly nice and we never felt like we had to wait a while to get refills or anything we needed.

I'll probably come back to this post later and add in some pictures of some of the things I talked about. My phone is off and charging and I havent gotten any of them off yet. Right now, I have to start getting everyone ready to get out the door.
