grandma likes to come visit near my birthday to give us some free babysitting and celebrate with us. plus, she loves to eat in restaurants. so i picked her up from the airport, picked the boys up from school and headed to a restaurant where we ate way too much food.
grandma also loves chuck e. cheese. since she would only be here for the weekend, tonight was our best bet at it not being packed. grandma had already had a very long day after an early flight but she was game.
and then i had the best idea - we would drop grandma and the kids off at chuck e. cheese while matt and i went to have a dinner alone at the restaurant across the parking lot. perfect! the restaurant was pretty busy and told us that there was a 45 minute wait. instead of just waiting we went over to buy a gift card at the grocery store a short walk away. our table was ready when we got back. we had a wonderful, relaxing meal. and then we noticed the time - yikes! it was a school night so we quickly paid and headed back to get grandma and the kids. and then we realized that we hadn't paid with the gift card. oops. i guess we will have to go out again this weekend. love.

What a lovely 'tradition' - Grandma coming to celebrate you by offering her babysitting services. I bet the kids love it. Win-win-win all around.
