We want to go back next year. Get this - DH said we should do this more often - that we should pick a new restaurant and go out on a date every month!

Glad you had a good time - and you SHOULD do it more often! I would be going out once a week if I didn't have to worry about a babysitter!!!!

We just went out last week. That was quite by accident, we had a work function that fell through but decided to go out since we had a the babysitter lined up anyway. We had a couple drinks and ate at a new restaurant in town. It was awesome, and made us want to do it more often.

We haven't gone out in forever but that is because Logan was too young (breast fed baby and he's never used a bottle) but he's just about there! In fact, if there is an early show tomorrow, I think we may try to take it in. If my SIL is up to watching both kids.

We haven't been out alone since before Halloween, we've just been too busy.

We don't go out very often. The last times was just over a month ago. Our teenage babysiter has gotten a life.....and isn't available as much as we would like.

We go out with the kids all the time, but hardly ever on a date date. Only when we go to TX so my mom can babysit or when she comes to town. So we go out alone about 3 times a year. When they are older (and can speak up and defend themselves if someone does something they shouldn't) I won't be so concerned with leaving them with a sitter but for now they are 1, 3 and 5 so I'm not comfortable with it. Only my mom or aunt can babysit them.

We try to go out for our anniversary in April but sometimes that doesn't work. We didn't get to go to DH Christmas party last year because I was in the hospital because of my blood pressure. So we will be going out next Friday for the party this year. The kids go to my moms and spend the night. Love my kids but can't wait.

Its been a while for us to. I usually go out on my own and DH the same with out friends. The sitter is lined up for tomorrow and DHs company party and maybe a movie afterward.

We haven't been out since we got married last August in Vegas. Sad, I know. We are homebodies though and I am cheap!

However, actually a friend just offered to babysit on Saturday so we can go out. My husband loves to go bowling and there is a nice restaurant he is wanting to try without kids with us. I am excited!

We just got back from going bowling. We only get to go out when Mil or my Mom spends the night (every few months). We have been out without the kids 3 times this year.

Last week we fed the kids and put them to bed then fixed a steak dinner at home, complete with wine, china, tablecloth and candles. It was better than going out to dinner (no "buyers remorse" for that big bill at the end!).
