Today Nick and I left Logan with a {non family, non church nursery} baby-sitter for the first time!
We used a high school girl in the neighborhood that comes highly recommended from some other moms on our street. As far as I can tell, she and Logan did great! Excited to have another sitter when we need one!
Nick's and my date was kind of lame, but it was fun to spend some time together just the two of us! I guess we could have gone to a movie or something, but originally I was going to run some errands and Nick and my brother were going to go to Cabela's. Their Cabela's trip ended up getting postponed and we already had the sitter, so Nick decided to just come with me.
We had lunch at Patrizio which is always delish! Then we ran a few errands, including a trip to the grocery store. Nothing like a date to Kroger to keep your marriage fresh. Watch out!
Krogering together brought back memories of days of yore. It's silly, but grocery shopping was always something we did together on the weekends pre-kid. It was like a flashback to be at the store together, just the two of us. Now I typically go during the week, or one of us will go and the other stays home with Logi.
Anyway, it wasn't very exciting but we had a lot of fun together! I enjoyed hanging out just the two of us.
This afternoon this flyer was in our mailbox.
I love the Sharpie mark outs on the time slots. Understandably, they had to be clear about their availability. The second page had all their contact info and a "competitive price list that fits any budget" for other pet services. These kids don't mess around!
Nick and I joke that we've moved into a neighborhood full of tiny entrepreneurs. I swear, anything you could ever want done, from dog treat baking to bicycle and car washing to reptile sitting (yes REPTILE sitting!), there is a man for the job in this 'hood. And I think that's great!!! I intend to fully support their money making efforts. Child labor teaches many a valuable lesson. Maybe someday one of these businesses will be entrusted to Logan.
And speaking of-- for Christmas I got a new iPhone. As I was switching things over I came across these pictures on my old phone. Looking at them seriously makes my heart hurt. How did a year go so fast??? What happened to this snuggly, squeaky little guy?
My friends in Stroller Strides give me a hard time about Logan's shoe collection. He does have an awful lot of shoes. I usually find them on sale and stock up on different sizes. Since I can't do bows and headbands, shoes are the next best accessory!
I also wanted to share a picture, I changed out the throw pillows on our bed. I had those orange fall looking ones and the multi colored chevron before. What do you think about the white for winter? It looks very soothing to me. I like it! It's hard to tell in the pic but the pillows have the prettiest gold stitching on them.
I had these on the couch originally, but found some different brighter ones at Pier One's after Christmas sale I like better.
