family date night

last night we were going to go on a date but our babysitter was sick...and who wants to babysit when you are feeling crumby. not me. so we decided to go on our date anyways. i have been craving some steak and if you are like us you don't cook steak a lot and if you ever do it's probably a cheap cut. we chose outback which happened to work out great. i had a $10/2 entree coupon which essentially paid for e.t.'s meal plus and extra $5 off ours. they had coloring books and crayons and it seems emma taylor does great if she has an endless amount of milk in a "big girl cup". i am so glad that we are not shying away from getting out and doing things with a small child. i do however realize e.t. is super easy going and not all children are like that. for now while we only have 1 to wrangle i hope we keep getting out and having fun as a family.
