Today started early!!! We had Johnston's birthday party last night and a few of his friends and Becca's friend spent the night. After they finished watching the Avengers they all went outside and played Avengers until about 1am. So Morgan and I stayed up until they were all in bed which was around 1:30am and Tim, Justice and I had to be out of the house for our morning out by 8am. I did not want to get up....I REALLY did not want to get up...but I did.
We got our running around done which included a trip down to Lawrenceville, Buford, and Oakwood. We had a nice lunch at La Parilla with Justice which was super sweet getting to spend that time with him. We managed to get home in time for Tim to take the kids up to the woods near us and play on the trails, while I grabbed a power nap which was much needed!
To top of our very busy day we loaded up the kids and headed to our friends house to drop them off. Today was our monthly DATE NIGHT!!!! We have so been looking forward to this night with our friends! Each month all the kids get dropped off at one families house to hang out, eat, play, do whatever they want to do. It's about 15+ of them all together. Then the couples either go to one of the others houses for dinner/movie/games/etc or we go out. This month we all decided to try a restaurant called Pappadeaux in Atlanta. Tim and I have heard about this place for many, many years and it's all been amazing reports.
We decided to head down early and have a little extra time just the two of us. So we dropped the kids off a little early and went to the restaurant to reserve the table for us all. Once we got down there we found out this place is HOPPING!!!! It was a steady stream of people in and out. Also, because of the high demand...no reserving tables. You can only sign in and get a buzzer once your entire party is there and ready to go in. That kinda blew our plan to make our friends wait time shorter, but rules are the rules right? Thankfully they have a BIG outdoor patio waiting area with tons of benches and little tables, a nice fountain, and lights strung up everywhere. We got a bench in the shade. The weather was beautifully perfect tonight. Not to hot in the shade with a nice gentle breeze. We had so much fun just talking, and snuggling on the bench. OH...and we had a lot of time to people watch!!! There were some great things to see...from a lady with 10inch nails...yes...10 INCHES to an elderly couple who were as adorable as anything to watch! We had a lot of fun just being together.
I snapped a picture of us while we were waiting out on the patio! I love this man!!!
Amazing couple #1 that we get to enjoy date night (this is our third month of doing date night!!!) with. Pat and April! WE LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! They are great parents of three really awesome boys whom we are blessed to have as our children's friends.
Amazing couple #2 that we get the pleasure of hanging out with as well. Chris and Trina! I am just so proud of them for how strong they are. WE LOVE THEM!!! They have three beautiful children who we are blessed to have as our children's friends as well.
Trina told Tim she wanted to get a picture of him and his date! Haha! The food at this place is AMAZING! Truly people..it was so good. We all tried tons of new stuff which was so much fun. I love trying new things. I even tried a bit of Tim's 2lb lobster. It was oh so yummy! I had a wonderful stuffed shrimp and cajun red beans and rice that was....just....oh.so.yummy!
I am so thankful for my amazing husband and great friends! I am truly blessed!!!!
