***A Night Out***

When you have kids you discover that "a night out" can mean anything. It can actually mean leaving the kids with a babysitter while you and your spouse go enjoy some time together, or it could mean something as silly as actually getting out of the house WITH your kids and going to the local store. The funny thing is that normally I'm equally as happy to do either of those things! lol
Last night Jonathan, Jon's friend Earl, Ella and Myself went over to my parents house in Lake City for Lasagna and fun. Once Ella warmed up to Earl she began serenading him with songs such as "the ABC's" "BaaBaa Black Sheep" "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and even counting to 10 in Spanish. Mom and I laughed pretty hard at her and Earl just stood there smiling in amazement. Too cute.
Ella (as mentioned in my last post) has an uncanny ability to remember things. The last time we were at my parents house Ella had slept in my mom's room. When my mom went to climb into bed she said "There are crumbs in my bed" and began wiping them off. Ella thought it was the funniest thing ever and hasn't forgotten it since. All last night she would walk around saying "Crumbs in my bed, crumbs in my bed" to which we all would laugh.
We knew it was time to go when my dad was going to take Ella down to see the "pretty stars" in Olivia's room and she told my mom, "Good night, Love you, see you in the morning" as she walked past on her way downstairs. What a sweet lady.
So, I can honestly say that it was a very fun night out. Not too eventful, but just really nice.
