One of the best things we've done is start a baby sitting swap with Ashley Katz, one of my best mommy friends that I've made with Las Madres. I asked her if she wanted to swap babysitting every other month on a Sat night. So in other words, one month I babysit for her and the next month she babysits for me, and so on. It's great! Usually one of us comes over around six, plays with the kids for awhile and then gets them ready for bed. And then we have some nice quiet time to play on the computer, read, watch some tv or whatever! It's been great. I really like having a date night with Jerry. Sometimes we have had group dates and sometimes it's just been the two of us. But it's nice to have some alone time AND not to have to pay someone $60+ just to watch our kids, especially when they are asleep half the time! Usually we do evenings but the last time both of us wanted to go out during the day, Jerry and I went to Raging Waters and Ashley and Justin went to Great America. So when Ashley and Justin went on their daytime date we brought the kids over to their house so they could all play together. After we gave the kids a bath and put them in their pajamas Jerry took the girls home and I put Vander and Oliven to bed. Fun for all!
