Once upon a time long ago, Fridays meant date night for Luke and me. We used to dress up and go out to eat...maybe see a movie. One thing is for sure, though, we would definitely stay up way past what our bedtime is these days. Don't get me wrong, we still have date nights on Fridays to celebrate the fact that we made it through another week. However, we usually order take-out, put on comfy clothes, and clean out the DVR. Because we're raising little people. And we're tired. Plus, I'm sure the time will come all too soon when we'll have our Friday nights back and go out to eat. You know, around 4pm with all the other blue hairs.
Occasionally, the grandparents will bless us with a date night out. We dress up, kiss the littles, and high-tail it outta there before Brooke has a meltdown resulting in the grandparents suggesting dessert instead of dinner. It's nice to relive the days when kids were just a dream, and our metabolism could handle carb loading at a fancy Italian restaurant. So in honor of days gone by and days yet to come, here are some pretty little numbers I would love to wear while out with my man.
I love this entire outfit.
It's also really cool that she's been blessed with the kind of skin tone that looks golden all year round. I do not enjoy such a luxury. Self-tanner is my friend.
If we were going on a really fancy date, I would definitely wear this.
With these shoes.
And these earrings.
Because nothing says fun like glitter. So much glitter! Unfortunately, the dress alone costs $900, and Luke did not pick the winning Power Ball numbers so I'm out of luck.
Since I'm solo parenting until tomorrow night, our weekly date will have to take place on Sunday. Today, Brooke and I will be cleaning while Austin is at school. Because we love to live the glamorous life. And then I'm going to pick out something cute to wear when Luke gets home tomorrow. Apparently he folded laundry for me the other day and noticed there were a lot of yoga pants in the mix. What can I say? Some weeks I live by this motto.
To be fair, though, most days I really do put forth an effort to wear something other than sweats. I feel much better about myself if I do. Don't you? And I have to brag on my husband for a minute and tell you that he never gives me a hard time about what I'm wearing. Probably because he wants to live to see the next day, but also, he loves me no matter what. Some days it's the inside that counts. Am I right?!
I may not get to enjoy a date with Luke tonight but these two will keep me company and entertained instead.
Our night together will probably involve me saying "no" to Chuck E Cheese and compromising on another location that serves pizza before we head to Austin's basketball practice. It won't be fancy, but it will be fun. I wouldn't trade my messy, crazy life for anything in the world!
