Sitter Swap

Last month my friend Stef and I talked and decided that instead of paying for babysitters when we want a date night with our hubbys that we would just swap nights on babysitting each other kids. I am not sure why we didn't think of this sooner, plus our kids love to play together. It gets so expensive by the time you pay for the sitter, and then dinner and sometimes a movie. We thought we would do this once a month or every other month. We tried it out for Valentine's Day. The other Saturday Stef watched our kids and then this past Monday Chris and I watched their kids. We had a good time. I order some pizza for dinner and the kids were kid of tired so we just watched some movie and played around the house. I got some photos of the evening.

Dinner time...yummy pizza. Chris and I got 2 medium pizzas thinking that would be plenty to have so leftovers for the next day. When the kids were done eating the four of them ate a medium pizza plus a little of the second one. We had one slice left. Good eaters that night. Katie wasn't in this pic because she was having a minor melt down and was in her room composing herself. Braeden, Bree and Lydia enjoyed the dinner.


Well you can see what kind of mood Katie was still in. The other three were having a blast.


I thought this was a sweet photo. We were watching a movie and I looked over and saw Braeden and Bree in the bean bag together. Braeden was actually holding Bree's hand at one point. Braeden is such a sweet little boy.


We had fun that night letting the kids play and it is nice to have free babysitting so you can enjoy the an evening out without going broke.
