This weekend for our Friday night date Tom and I went to Park City and didn't come home until Saturday afternoon. I felt a little guilty leaving the kids because we just did this 3 weeks ago. We had a babysitter, and didn't have to pay for a hotel, so...I managed to set the guilt aside for the night out. Our Friday night babysitter is Kandace, who my kids absolutely LOVE. Robby asks me nearly everyday if it's Friday, because he knows she comes on Fridays. It's a beautiful thing to have a babysitter the kids love and we trust. We have had a few great babysitters, Patricia I've mentioned before is also amazing with our kids. Kandace helped me put the guilt aside. We had so much fun. We met friends at a really great Thai restaurant and ate wonderful food. We watched a stupid movie, we made good use of our hotel room and enjoyed getting out of Utah County! Park City is so gorgeous right now the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, fall has arrive. We were driving home Saturday and I realized we ate the kids treats I bought them! It's Tom's fault about midnight he is in the mood for chocolate so we ate the kids chocolate treats. This gets me thinking I will make it up by taking them to a movie or to the park. We get home and I brought Risi in to talk to me about what we could do. She reminds me of a promise I made her and Maya months ago to go to Build a Bear for doing such a great job at their dance performance. And, as you all know kids are like elephants and they don't forget! So we went to Build a Bear and spent a lot of money on more stuffed animals - ugh! Why did I promise that? Oh well, they had a blast, especially Robby. I showed them the ones they could pick from and Robby kept bringing me the bears on display wanting those ones, =the ones already made and put together so when I get his for him and it isn't done or made yet, he starts crying saying it's broken he doesn't want a broken one. It was so sad and funny at the same time. It was also really fun to see their personalities show in the clothes and bears they picked. We all had a good weekend. Here are some pictures of them with their bears.
