Before I forget, I totally need to tell you about our date night the other night. Friday we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary by actually procuring a baby sitter (co oping services with a good friend) and Dan took me to The Melting Pot.

Have you ever been there? I cannot swoon highly enough – we had an amazing time! The waitress was probably the best waitress I’ve ever had, the food was ungodly good, especially dessert! And I loved the little Lover’s Lane aisle we sat in with corner seats so we could sit all comfy cozy together.

Plus, what can be better than getting to go out to eat WITHOUT the kids? We marveled over not having to put through their order before even looking at the appetizer menu – not having to rush through our meal before a temper tantrum might force us to have to leave early. No crayons. No sippy cups. No spilled cheerios on the floor underneath us. Romantic dinners are the shiz, guys.

So we’ve decided three things:

1. We’re totally going to the Melting Pot for  our anniversary next year, too. It’s our new favorite tradition.
2. We need to start going on Date Nights more often – I plan to talk to a couple of friends about arranging baby sitting co ops with them, too – because honestly paying for someone to sit in your living room and watch tv while your kids sleep is kind of silly if you have good friends you can swap services with. I love it. And I loved getting to spend quality time with my husband not sitting on our couch.
3. There should be more fondue in our life. I want to get a good fondue pot for our house – Christmas present idea alert!

Basically, we had an awesome, delicious evening and a wonderful 5 year anniversary!
