This is Angela, our long-time babysitter. She's been around since before the kids were even here. Long ago, she was dating Doug's friend Bobby and we would go out with them quite often. I also remember her coming to the hospital to visit us when Kaleb arrived. Who knew that almost 10 years later she'd be a true friend and great babysitter. Although, she's more like a friend to the boys now than "babysitter". I think they're getting too old for that word but not yet old enough to be on their own at home.
On this night she came over for a couple hours so Doug and I could get some dinner together for a little date night. Nothing extravagant...just went to Cheeseburger in Paradise...but it was a beautiful evening and perfect for sitting outside on the patio!
In case you're wondering why this post is titled "Mommy on the weekends" I'll fill you in. A long time when Kaleb was in Kindergarten or 1st grade and Kaden was still at Beech Tree House day care Angela picked them up from there. During those years the school bus picked Kaleb up and dropped him off at Beech Tree House. It was perfect because I only had to drop them both off at one place in the mornings.
So, on this day that Angela picked them up...one of Kaden's teachers asked him "Who is this?" when she showed up, trying to get him to introduce her and explain who she was. Kaden's answer?? "She's our 'Mommy on the weekend.'" I obviously wasn't there but would have loved to have been. I guess Doug and I went out enough during that time and Angela was our primary sitter so that was the way he felt. We still laugh at the comment to this day and even discussed it again on this night.
