Girls night out/ Girls' night out/ Girl's night out....

I'm not sure how the grammar goes, but we had SO MUCH FUN!! If only I'd brought my camera*!!! Charity, Kelly and I all went out last night. They chose Chuck-A-Rama as their date**. They were like two giddy little school girls***. They kept loading up their plates and then only eating like a third of it and then running back to fill up some more :). It was really fun. I try to kind of turn off the naggy-momness when we're on our dates **** so that I can relax, and they can have some un-ADULT-erated fun. We played the question game while we ate. Charity asked me what I like about Daddy*****. Kelly asked herself what her favorite animal is******and then laughed her head off. We filled up on slurpees, ice cream, scones and rice krispie treats*******. In the middle of our dinner some guy across the room started blowing his nose. And it wasn't just blowing his nose, it was the HONKING kind of blowing. Charity couldn't help it and turned around at looked at him and then turned back and started laughing********. My first thought was to tell her it's not polite to laugh, but then Kelly started laughing too, and I just couldn't help myself! We were all cracking up!! Like rolling on the floor cracking up!! Our waitress tried to ask me a question and I couldn't answer her. It was so fun!!! Then for the rest of the night we kept doing our impression of the honking nose blower and then laughing.......what fun. We had a total blast. I just love these times with my kids. I say this all the time, but I really do cherish those moments. Makes me feel like time is just going too fast and I'm just going to get to the end and wish I had done it more. I want our date nights and stuff become more of a tradition and something we do regularly.
After our dinner we went up to the hospital for my x-ray*********. Charity and Kelly had fun whirling around in the waiting room, narrating the Nemos in the fish tank, and watching Fineas and Ferb while we waited. I love my girls. They're such fun company.

*we decided, half way to the restaurant, that the boys would probably start crying again if we turned back and went and got it.
** they're still infatuated with the place since Sydney's baptism....they love the all-you-can-eatness of it
***I guess they are.
****not too much of course! I still have to guide them in the right direction!
*****how cute is that! I went on too long for Charity even, and she cut me off to say that it was my turn to ask a question :)
******I'm pretty sure someone slipped a little something into Kelly's drink...I've never seen her quite so looney :)
*******had to get our money's worth!
********there's no way he knew we were laughing at him...he never even looked over, just so you don't think we're all a bunch of jerks....it was REALLY loud for a restaurant, I mean really, go in the bathroom!! But we do realize that this is Bountiful/land of the senior citizens, and we were at Chuck-A-Rama/home of the senior citizen discount.
*********Found out my doctor prescriped "chest pain" instead of a "chest x-ray", so I'll have to go back for that one....but we might be making some headway in all of my hypochondriacness.....we'll see if it's more than just in my head :)

See, these two posts are exactly why I tell you that you are the mom that I want to be! You are teaching your kids about the value of work and are also spending quality time with them. No wonder your family is so close and so great!

That sounds so fun! My husband is totally a loud nose blower! He usually goes into the bathroom, but for some reason he can justify it when we were are at a restaurant full of old people!!
