Wasabi

If you live in the FM area and you like sushi you MUST go to Wasabi...it is new and delicious! Leslie has our two little boys tonight because tomorrow Stu is spending the night with us, kind of like Wife Swap but only with children. So Erik and I are going to Wasabi for "date night" and I am really excited! I think it is so important to try to have date night as often as possible. I know some couples have a day of the week or the month that they try to keep consistently opened for date night. We are not quite that regimented but when they is a window of opportunity we both get ready, jump in the car, and try to really enjoy our one on one time together without food being flung at us or someone begging for another glass of milk. By the way my gorgeous husband literally just walked in the door and  quote on quote said,"I am fricken' tired." I reply,"Honey, we don't have to go." He swiftly responds that he is hopping in the shower and will be ready in 20. So now I am looking forward to a smooth face and the smell of aftershave. Yay!

Speaking of fish I am proud to announce (mommy bragging moment) that I have another fish on my hands. We spent a lot of this week with Leslie and Stu because Chad was in Vegas and they wanted company. So Tuesday we went out to the farm for some pizza and swimming. We hop in the pool and we start taking turns with Alex passing him back and forth. He is getting irritated because he wants to swim on his own, he is not wanting to swim with Leslie or I. We decide to put him in a floater swimsuit, he is not really having that either and his wet, wiggly little body is not wanting to squeeze in the scuba suit. Leslie suggests arm floaties and the thought crossed my mind that she is crazy, Alex is not even two yet. That is not safe for my little baby. She convinces me that we are going to be right there with him, nothing could happen. So we get them on, put  Alex in the pool still holding him lightly. He is still eager to be independent so I let go. I kid you not, he swam like he has been swimming his whole little life. He kicked hid legs and cupped his little hands paddling upright all the way to the stairs. He then walks to the edge of the pool jumps in, goes under for one second, pops up and swims to the stairs again. He continues to do this 15-20 times in a row with both Leslie and I inches away from him laughing hysterically at this little boy swimming like Anthony and Stu. Yes, it may sound like I am bragging, because I am, it was AMAZING!

So my guess is while I am eating some fish tonight, my little buddies will be swimming like fish.
