Anniversary to-do's.....

Ok, I need help. My one and only babysitter has cancelled on me 2 days before I planned our 13 year anniversary dinner and night out date.. Yes I said "I" planned it-- see Bill doesn't know how to do these things! Anyway back to the subject... i need some creative help from my many dear sisters out there of things to do on your 13th anniversary with 3 kids in tow. If I can get at least 13 ideas, maybe i can use one of them!! So show me what your creative, talented minds can do and send me your best options.... After the weekend is over I'll let you know how it went.

I don't know if you have one near you, but we love going to Joe's Crab Shack. They have a playground - it almost feels like we are alone! That is our best attempt at a date. Other than that, I make a nice meal and decorate the table pretty AFTER the kids eat their easy meal and go to bed! Have a great anniversary!

Bring them over to our house...I dont mind a few more!! I agree with Jonatha-although this past year when I fed the kids early and then set the table for Chad and I the kids came and sat with us and said they were hungry again!!!!

Wish I lived closer, I'd be glad to help you out! I'd say just postpone till you can get a sitter or just keeping trying till you find another one for that night :)
Jonatha's idea is pretty good.... Mom

My idea of romance, since I live in the cold North, would be to have the kids in on a "surprise beach party, planned by the kids and you" for the anniversary - they can help YOU pack a lunch to surprise Daddy. go eat at the beach..don't tell Daddy where you are all going...they will be so happy to be in on the secret anniversary plans that perhaps they will play in the sand and let Mom and Dad enjoy some quality time relaxing together on the beach. Hope it's warm enough for that? If not, plan a party anywhere,even a special restaurant but let the kids do the work, keep the secret and they will see what a special Mom does for her special hubby.
