Eric & I recently went to my cousin's wedding in Rockford, IL. We went by ourselves and left the kids with Eric's parents. We figured between 6 people (Mom & Dad, George & Beth, and Jamie & Patrick) they could handle our brood. They all live on the same street so if anything, there could be of one kid per house.
We quickly came to realize that we haven't had any "Katie & Eric time" in a long time. Eric tried to tell me that we haven't left the kids for more than a night in almost 6 years. I couldn't believe it. I started to ramble off different dates...
"When we went to....no we had the kids.."
"That one time....no wait we had the kids then too."
"Ah ha...when we went to that one place....?? Man it has been since our cruise in 2004"
We both caught each other in our parental modes. I got caught pointing to a train saying "Look there's Thomas the Train!" Then quickly realizing that Quintin wasn't in the car. Dope! That's all right because I caught Eric watching Phineas & Ferb in the hotel room.
We had such a blast at the wedding..I may or may not have completely indulged in the kid free weekend and open bar...I'm pretty sure that I was dragged into some Soul Train dancing. God I hope there wasn't a video tape made...
