Friday Family Fun Day!

So it's a wonderful friday! Ben's been a little cranky but that's because he didn't sleep well last night and is refusing to sleepmore then 20 mins at a time today. We started taking him swimming on friday afternoons because Jon is done school around noon and then this way we don't have to deal with the saturday/sunday crowds of things. Ben is a water baby... loves the bath. He's our little fish! We've been doing our cash budgetthis week and we have a jar that says - date night- well we like to use it for family time such as taking Ben swimming. It's pretty expensive - 9.00bucks each so 18.00$ just to go swimming... but we love doing that instead of going out to diner now. (here are a few pics before our wonderful underwater camera broke underwater... )

Although tonight we are having date night and this is the first time we are leaving Ben to go out together. I did have to leave him yesterday to head to work. My aunt has graciously offered to watch Ben for a few hours. We didn't really know what we wanted to do but decided maybe just a nice diner, nothing fancy, nothing expensive. so we are heading to our up-scale pizza joint to share a pizza and maybe have a glass of wine! We won't be gone too long since Ben is grumpy in the evenings wanting to cluster feed and still attached to me. so we will be close by in case of a milk emergency.

Anyway this is now our little thing to do so that we can all spend time together and not just at home, watching tv, cleaning, or cooking. and it also helps Ben sleep through the night. Not that I mind waking up once and awhile but lately with all these cluster feedings it has me warn out.
