Well this last week has been a lot of fun, even if it has been quite busy! I've been busy getting schoolwork done and Morgan has been busy getting applications in. I found a bunch of time to practice my viola which is always a plus. Lorraine has been happy and healthy this week too.
Wednesday was the Blue and Gold Celebration for Cub Scouts. Our scouts had lots of fun and decorated some of the greatest cakes! There were quite a few people there and I kept losing Lorraine just because she is so small and mobile that I couldn't keep track of her. Thankfully we were in the church and there was only a couple of places that she could go.
On Friday, I started my extra class of ballet. It was a lot of fun and was really inspiring to see all the other girls on pointe shoes and it just encouraged me to do all that I can to get there. Lorraine also went with me to class because Morgan had to work. Unfortunately an hour before we left she crushed her toe and was still quite grumpy because of it. She was less than happy until about the last 15 minutes. Hopefully next week if she needs to come with me she will be better off.
Saturday, I decided that it was about time that Morgan and I go out on a date. We hadn't had the time or money to go out since our anniversary in August. We got our neighbors to babysit and went out to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and then went to a family fun center. They had bumper cars, old arcade games, and lots of other great things to do. It was a lot of fun to just let the kid out of ourselves! We were in line for laser tag and the guy that was running it thought we were just there waiting for our kids to get out. We had to correct him and let him know that we did want to play. Morgan got first out of four, and I got third. It took me awhile to catch on to what to do. It was so much fun for us to just get out and be a couple again. I forgot what it was like to go to a restaurant without Lorraine, and it was so weird not to have her there. On the drive home we ran into snow. Thankfully it wasn't sticking to the asphalt yet. It snowed all night Saturday and all night Sunday!
So, this morning classes were canceled until 10am. I was so excited, that meant I was able to sleep in! I was about to get up at about 9 when my teacher for my 10am class called and said that she didn't need me to come in for the test because she was going to use my grade from last semester when I took the class but ended up withdrawing right after the midterm. It was awesome, because the night before I didn't fall asleep until 4am. Unfortunately, it threw off Lorraine's sleeping schedule and she wasn't asleep for her naps at the usual times, which meant that I had to stay with her through my classes because Morgan wasn't up yet.
Well! We had quite a week. I hope next week is just as fun!

Congrats on the date night! It makes such a difference. Jason and I had taken a break from date night too for a while because of finances and finding babysitters, and boy did we pay for it. Now we make a point to do something once a week. I can't tell you how much it's improved our relationship.
