A Date (a real date!)

Corey and I went on a date tonight! The first one in about two years. It was soooo nice to have dinner without the kids. A lady that Corey works with watched them for us and I was a little nervous about how they'd react. They don't really like new people much. Anyway Bella LOVED it, she made me a Mother's Day card and everything. When we got there to pick them up she ran back into the kitchen to keep playing and didn't want to leave. Then when we left she said "bye bye Mommy" to Jennie! We're so proud of her, hopefully she'll enjoy more activities with other kids now (like actually going to the nursery at church!) John still wasn't happy about it but he did a little better than expected. He was mad that we didn't leave more gummy snacks for him but was happy when he was outside (so that's where he spent most of his evening.)

Bella got a new dress and shoes yesterday because she has outgrown all her other dresses. Despite my best efforts she seems to have some girl in her (she still loves to play in the dirt though.) She loves her outfit and would wear it all the time if I let her. She actually took her nap with the shoes on today. I guess she'll be happy Sunday when she gets to wear it all day.
