Kid Free

And we're off to the next 100 posts! Today was a very unusual day for Greg & I. It's not often that we're kid free and get to go on a little date. Once in awhile if we don't have the kids, usually we're doing things around the house that aren't so fun. Today Greg's mom took the kids for awhile so we had some free time all to ourselves. It was really quite nice. Evan had spent the night at Greg's mom's so we met them for breakfast at Hannah's Coney Island. It has to be one of my favorite breakfast places! The country skillet is fabulous and for those of you in E. Lansing if you ever go there I highly recommend it!

After breakfast both kids went with Greg's mom and we headed off for our half a day with no kids! We didn't really have plans, but it was nice for a change to just be kid free for a little bit. We started off by stopping on campus after breakfast at a Parent2Parent sale. I just heard about it yesterday and wanted to check it out. We ended up finding a few bargains which included seven books, ice skates, and an outdoor playset all for $15! Greg found a pair of iceskates for Evan that were $5. I got the lady to come down to $3 because they're a little big for this winter and I wasn't sure about the size plus Evan's never ice skated before. Then the playset was marked $15 and I got that lady to come down to $10. I've been looking for a slide to put in the backyard for the kids, but haven't been able to find one. This one isn't exactly what I was looking for and is a little small for Ev, but it's a good size for Em. They both can use it though and for $10 I'm not complaining. I can probably eventually sell it for what I paid for it when they do outgrow it. They seemed to enjoy it tonight when they saw it so that's good! Here's my bargain!

After the sale we got home and put this thing together. It wasn't the easiest and Greg wasn't having too much fun in the heat. Then we decided we'd take our movie passes from Christmas that we hadn't used yet and go see a movie. The first time in a LONG time we've been to the movie in general and a movie without kids and not a cartoon! It was actually kind of weird to go into the movie theater, just the two of us! We went to see Funny People with Adam Sandler. It was pretty good. Adam Sandler plays the role of George Simmons, a famous stand-up comedian so there were lots of funny jokes. We thought the movie was a little long and could've cut a few parts out and still been good, but other than that we got a lot of good laughs. There was an older couple down the row from us that I'm not sure what they thought they were going to see in the movie. It had Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen and was rated R so there was sure to be some bad language and sexual humor. After all, it was from the same writers that did 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Needless to say they weren't laughing at any of the funny parts and 15 minutes into it they walked out. Oh well, we liked it.

After the movie we went to pick up the kids. Of course Evan wasn't ready to come home so we brought Em home so she could have a nap. It was way past nap time! Em napped for a couple hours, we did some things around the house, and then we met Ev and Greg's mom for dinner to pick up Evan. We went to the Spartan Hall of Fame Cafe. Love this place! It's all MSU decor and the Hall of Fame Salad is delicious! It was nice to have some time to ourselves today and not chasing kids around. Thanks to Greg's mom for watching the kids and for breakfast and dinner! I didn't have to cook today in this heat! Woo Hoo!
