DH scored big points with me!

We went out to dinner last night with friends to an awesome brewery. Earlier in the day, DH sent me an email from work saying that he would drive everyone and he volunteered to "manage" Emmett for the whole dinner. He went on to say that I should have a few drinks with our friends and he would take care of everything when we got home....ie feeding Emmett and putting him to bed. It was AMAZING! He was true to his word, fed E at the restaurant, entertained him and then did the whole bedtime routine when we got home.

We have also discovered that our monitor works at our next door neighbors house (it's very close as we live in suburbia). So we locked up the house and sat over at their house drinking and watching a movie. Awesome night and way to go DH! I thanked him so much so I hope he will think to do this again for me sometime.

Probably the most I drank in a while and I was a little hungover this morning but it was worth it!!!!!

Awesome! Your DH did great. I wish mine would do that.

That is awesome! My dh is scoring points right now, he's taking two of the kids to Home Depot with him, one is sleeping and Noah will be having a nap shortly.

That's awesome! You deserve it!

My DH also just lost some brownie points. lol. I'd like to go out and not have a worry at all. AND what's best is that he handled the bed time routine for you when you got home. Nothing stinks more than walking back through the front door and realizing that fun is done, and now you're back on the clock. Lucky lady!

That is AMAZING!

Our video monitor works up to 5 houses down. We're looking forward to being able to put H to bed and "play" outside with the neighbours in the summer. London too. She will be up later than him. We have a lovely front porch just to enjoy the weather, and watch the kids play too.

hahaha. Maybe you can drop hints?

I also have to say that previous to this evening, DH was being a royal jerk for about 2 weeks straight. So, don't think it's Happy Fantasy land over here every night....but we are working on it.
