Every once in a while you need a night out...

Last night as I was getting ready to make dinner the kids were already starting to get at each other I just decided we all needed a night out. We had a few coupons for dinner in town so I called John and told him to meet us as one place to eat. Our evening got off to a rough start with that restaurant no longer open and Davis reaching for his ducky in the car at last second after I had shut the door and got his little finger tips slammed in it.

We recovered though and went to Ross and Target looking for a new backpack for Caleb for Preschool since this year since he will need one a little bigger one than last year. No luck, but we had a lot of fun looking and I got myself a new maternity shirt for 6 bucks! We decided to go over to Walmart and have dinner at El Pollo Loco. We found the best backpack we could since it seems the selection was all for things like Hulk and The dark knight which angers me because they are both PG-13 movies!
Then the boys dropped me off at the Children's place outlet where I picked up swimsuits for next year for both the boys for $2.50 each (thankfully with a REAL tie since Caleb's tie for his bathing suit now is a fake tie and hes been showing off his bum all summer long). The boys went to the KB toy outlet to play for a while.

Then lastly we took Caleb to Coldstone to redeem his free ice cream for the Summer reading program and we had a buy one get one free for the rest of us. Coldstone for $3 is the way I like it! We ate outside while the boys played and ran around.

It was just a nice night and we dont just go out to splurge very often. I love summer nights here....
