"I loved this night."

The last two nights Adam has come home early from POST. This is a rare treat – usually Adam's at work until 3:30 or 4:00pm and then he goes to POST from 5pm-9:30pm. So he only has about an hour at home with me and the kids – because they are usually in bed by the time he gets home. (Or at least they should be!)

Well, the last two nights he had a shortened schedule and he has been home by 6:45pm! So to celebrate we left Luke with Grammy and took Audrey to the playground of the elementary school that is just around the block from our house. (I can't wait until Luke is a little older so he can play too. But since it was a little chilly and we wouldn't be able to stay too long we decided to leave him to fun time with Grammy at home.)

Audrey definitely had fun at the playground. She loves slides.

She really went crazy for them!

We had so much fun watching her get so excited running to the stairs, climbing over steps,

crawling through the tunnels,

walking over the bridge, and sliding down all of the slides.

And she really liked it when Adam or I slid down with her. There was one part of the play area where two small slides are right next to each other so we had races and she loved it!

It was such a nice treat to have Daddy home early enough to play and run and laugh with – we are so looking forward to Adam finishing POST so we can have more nights like that!

As we walked home together, swinging Audrey around and making her (and ourselves) dizzy, Adam said "I loved this night. I really loved this night."

And Audrey and I couldn't agree more.
