steppin' out saturday {& sunday} + our second first date

it had been six months since sam & i had been out on a date without parker.  ya know, alone.  at a big kid restaurant.  and by "big kid" restaurant i mean one that doesn't even have high chairs available & you drink your water from a stemmed glass. 

that changed this weekend & it was a blast.

parker picked out his favorite toys & headed to the sitter's {thank you heather & isaiah!} & i got my hair all fancied up & curly.  sam even wore a collared shirt... on a weekend!  big deal.

we dropped parker off & headed to our favorite local restaurant. mmmmm, lemongrass. the best thai food this side of thailand.  the lights are dim, the tables are small, & the singapore noodles are uh-mazing. oh, & the seven flavor beef.  and the crab cream cheese wontons.  i digress.

we enjoyed lots of adult conversation {read: no talk of diapers, spit up, or sleep training}, ordered spicy food, & took our time.  this is gonna have to become a regular thing. 



since this is a "steppin' out" post i attempted to take a picture of my outfit.  and for the record, i am obsessed with this new vintage style sweater from forever 21.  i {love} it.

do ya remember two weeks ago when i liked my saturday night outfit so much that i recycled it on sunday to church with a skirt?  you know, same outfit, different group of people?  yeah, repeat this week.  i just don't have it in me to come up with two cute outfits in one week.  maybe i'll build up to that.  for now, i'm lazy.

if you have no idea what i'm talking about with all this "steppin out" talk, you should hit the badge to the left & head on over to check out mandy's blog at "harper's happenings" where moms all around the blogosphere have linked up to share their weekend's activities & their style.  i am LOVING these posts.  it is so fun to put a little more effort into what ya where & to see what other moms out there are wearing & what they're doing.

and with that, i am off to go play with my little family & enjoy a lazy sunday!
