We got a babysitter last night. We found Amanda online and she's a friendly nineteen year old from Mount Eden. Amiri shook her hand like a proper gentleman when they met. Arram started to cry when she picked him up; I guess his stranger-danger is starting to kick in.
With the kids in her capable hands, we went out to dinner just down the street at one of the nice restaurants we always pass. It felt really good to be out on our own, just the two of us... a chance to connect and have fun together. Remembering that we're not just parents. We stayed out until the extreme hour of 11 pm and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
And here's the icing on the cake: the restaurant was (almost) free for us! I have started doing some mystery shopping here, just for a lark and to learn about new stores. I was assigned to shop that restaurant and give lots of feedback about its appearance, food, staff, etc. In return, most of our bill will be reimbursed!
