Date night! Rachel and I dropped the kids off at Gymcats and went up to Game Night Games and played Power Grid. Power Grid is a notch more complex than something like Settlers, so with it being Rachel's first game and my second, it took a while. We played with Brian and Peter. (As Rachel pointed out as we left, "There aren't a lot of women here, are there?")
So we got back to Gymcats around 10:30, way past our kids' bedtime. Rachel was nervous the whole way down. "Should I call the gym and see if they're okay?" "No," I said, "That place is like Melissa heaven." "Yes, but three hours is a long time for a three year old. I hope she's not bored and angry and doesn't want to go back."
The kids were happy to see us. They were not happy to leave. I believe Melissa's exact words were, "No! Never!" Rachel had to pick her up and carry her out the door.
With luck the kids will sleep in, but I am not counting on it. Melissa's official bedtime may be 8:30 (or earlier, depending on how tired Mommy and Daddy are), but she has not actually gone to sleep before 10:00 in a long time. Although I am not actually sure how late Melissa stayed up last night -- I'm assuming not much past when we put her in bed, but I'm not sure, because I was asleep before she was.
