This morning began with getting everyone up and ready, as well as myself. Grant went off to the gym for a bit and then we all took a trip to the Cross Iron Mills Mall. So many good sales on right now. It is so big there though, and takes us 2 hours just to walk around the whole mall. I had gone with the intention of looking for a new pair of jeans, but shopping for clothing with kids is not an easy feat. I spent the entire time going to places like Chapters (in the kids section), Toys R Us, the playplace, dollar store and Claire's. So obviously my kids were in charge of this trip. It was fun though. At about 1pm we left the mall and went home to grab some lunch. We then got ready to go over to the rec centre to go swimming together. We also had Drayton and Reese come along to swim with us. It was fun, but not so fun going out into the bitter cold of winter with wet hair. Even the water in the pool seemed a touch cold. I couldn't seem to warm up completely while I was there. I should've hung out in the hot tub, but I was with the little kids. After swimming we had to quickly head home, get the kids some dinner and get myself ready for a date. I had made lasagne in the morning, thank heavens. So it was only a matter of throwing it in the oven. Charity came over to babysit for us. Grant rented the movie G-Force for the kids to watch with her before bed.
Grant and I left for our date at 5:30pm. We went to East Side Marios (one of my very favourite places to eat). It was packed, but the food came surprisingly quickly. We got free movie tickets with 0ur meal. It was a very satisfying dinner. The garlic bread and salad that they start you out with, could seriously be it's own meal. It is sooo yummy and filling! We headed over to the theatres after dinner to go watch "Sherlock Holmes". It was CRAZY packed!!! We decided to take the quick line where you pay with your debit card, or we would have missed the movie. So sad though. We have 6 movie passes to that theatre and we didn't get to use them because we went in that line, so we had to pay for it.
I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes. It was a fun movie. What a great date and what a great husband!!
