Our Own Little Tea Party

The Saturday after David got back from Philmont ...


...we went out with some friends for a much needed date night.  We went to Babe's ChickenYum!  Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to eat dinner there that night.  William was with us and we had placed his car seat in one of those sling things at the end of the table.  As they brought out the salad, he started fussing so David picked him up and held him in his lap.  A few minutes later out waitress comes out with a tray of drinks for the table behind us, and a different fool of a waitress knocks into her and spills a full glass of sweet tea into Will's car seat.  I'm talking soaking wet - as in we had to tip the car seat on it's side to POUR OUT the tea and ice cubesTea is everywhere, and obviously the manager was sent over.  He took one look at the situation and said that dinner and dessert was on them.  We decided to take our food to go so we could get home and get started on the clean up.  The worst part was having to put Will in his tea soaked seat for the car ride home.  When we get home at nine, my friend throws the car seat cover into the laundry and I throw Will into the bath to rid him of tea.  So much for a relaxing night out after your husband has been gone for 14 days straight!!  Oh, and we didn't make it to church the next day because the straps on his seat were still wet - and Wes had a runny nose - but still - what a mess. 

This past Saturday night we went to a wedding reception while my MIL hung out with the kids while they were asleep.  Walked in the door to the reception and got bit on the eyelid by a mosquito.  No big deal right - just a little annoying.  By eleven that night I looked like Sloth from Goonies - minus the gnarly teeth and random tufts of hair.  And yes - I do love me a Baby Ruth!  The swelling still had not gone down by the next morning so we missed church again.  Trying to handle three kids at church is hard enough, let alone with the use of only one eye!  

We're going to try date night again this week - on a Friday - so I at least have a day to recover!

Oh, and in the meantime, we're working on this over here. 














Heaven help me!!  AGHHHHH!
