October Date Night

Kristen and Vic hosted the October date night for small group.  Everyone except the Daniel boys were in attendance so they had 12.  I believe the night started with some backyard play, swing, chalk & then moved inside.  K is so good because she had a craft for them to do (little owls that were so cute).  I tried nothing like that.
 This date night was of significance because it was the first time I did not nurse E at her 7 feeding.  I pumped and left a bottle for her and while I was happy to be out with B, I was a bit sad that I wasn't getting to feed her.  Since she's been born, I have never missed a 7 feeding and now that I'm at school, the 7 pm feeding is the only time I get to nurse her.  It was fine though and Vic said she took her bottle like a champ. 
B and I went to Red Lobster for dinner and didn't have to wait this time.  We had a yummy meal and good conversation.  It was very nice timing because B had just taken his comprehensive exams and had been very busy with school and studying.  We had just had a very few busy and stressful days so this date night was much needed.  When we picked up the kids, they had had a great time and their owl ornaments were very cute.  Rin was still doing crafts which didn't surprise me.  Here's a picture from their dinner time.  Ell is in her carrier on the floor on the side but you can't see her.
