LO is 14 months old and we still haven't had a night out! Our excitement usually comes from parties, between our families there's one most weekends, especially in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199635 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:59:16 +0000 sulli301 199635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually! It's Friday night &amp; I am just waiting for DH to get home from work so we can hang out with DD, probably watch some netflix &amp; hangout? But I am still looking forward to it! Although I do miss wearing high heels :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199627 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:40:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 199627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty excited for tomorrow night, our small town that we just moved out of (DH still works there) is having their annual "Strawberry fest!!" Everything and anything you can think of with strawberries will be there!......Strawberry brats.....YUM!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199624 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:35:35 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 199624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see, it's Friday night, and so far I've taken a nap, done laundry, and mowed the lawn. They are typically NOT exciting, and that's pre-baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199601 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:08:17 +0000 ladyfingers 199601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha no. Not even before we got pregnant. Before we bought our house, we had pretty regular date nights on Saturday nights, but it was usually just trying out a new restaurant or something. Fridays in particular are boring, DH usually works so it's just me and mah laptop. This past Saturday night we ordered Chinese food and then played Catchphrase in bed while drinking Sprite. Yep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199599 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:06:46 +0000 googly-eyes 199599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really because I don't like to spend too much money especially with the baby coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-199595 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:04:01 +0000 Mrs. Train 199595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch usually the kids would get dropped off at the baby sitting moms house. The kids then would get to play together a litte later than normal bit of there was a baby usually the parents brought a port a crib. They also had one mom who preferred to go out for a later dinner. Each mom would put their own kids to bed then babysitter mom would come over to going out moms house and watch the kids while baby sitting dad stayed at home with his own kids</p> <p>They seemed to work out a good arrangement with each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193733 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:16:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 193733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do something one night a weekend, whether it be dinner or go over to a friend's house. However, we are usually always home by 11 since I get tired easily these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193571 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:37:15 +0000 littlebug 193571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't even have kids yet and we're super boring. Most Friday nights we stay in and watch movies or something. Occasionally on a Saturday we'll go out for dinner. We're trying to do more now while we CAN, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193566 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:34:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 193566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to do a real date night and hire a babysitter at least once a month. We used to do it more often but yeah, it gets expensive. Otherwise our weekend nights are pretty boring... but exciting because it's the weekend!!</p> <p>Sometimes we can get friends to come over (we live in the burbs so it's sometimes tough to get people to trek it out here) and that's super fun. This past weekend we actually had friends over every night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193559 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:31:12 +0000 Cchoi4 193559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we usually stay in and have recently been into watching old (but good) TV series (Friday Night Lights anybody?) Every once in a while, we'll ask my parents or my husbands parents to come and babysit for a special occasion, but most of the time, we stay home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193519 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:13:01 +0000 Alivoo01 193519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our bedtime is 9pm so we usually have an early dinner then watch/show a movie on netflix then call it a night. Depending on how tired we are, we sometimes skip dinner and sleep through the evening till it's time to wake up for work at 2am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193427 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:28:10 +0000 Sophia 193427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any LOs yet and won't be trying until January, and our Fridays and Saturdays are already pretty tame! We usually go out for dinner together on Fridays and then hang out at home. We usually have friends over on Friday evenings, but we're still probably in bed by 11pm or so. Saturdays aren't too exciting either. This past Saturday, our day consisted of ripping up all of the carpet on our main level and pulling a bazillion staples out of the original hardwood. Next Saturday, we'll be sanding and refinishing the floors. That's about the most excitement we've had on a weekend for awhile ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-193420 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:22:14 +0000 mrsjyw 193420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope~ usually it's takeout and movie.. this past wknd my bro was home from NYC so i went to the church youth group mtg on fri night (he was leading praise)... and sat night we had a dinner out at the casino buffet with in-laws for a pre-father's day dinner... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192868 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 09:40:51 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 192868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if you count your in-laws picking random fights with you exciting. Grrrrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192864 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 09:33:08 +0000 BoogieBea 192864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Fridays and Saturday's are not exciting at all. It's a little better now that the weather is nice. We'll usually take an evening stroll with the kids around the block. We'll most definitely bumped junto neighbors and they're kids playing outside so we'll have some beer or wine with them while the kids play. Then after the kids go to bed, we'll maybe watch a movie. We're starting to have a sitter again to watch the kids so we can go to dinner or see a movie in the theatre on our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192860 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 09:25:02 +0000 looch 192860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oceanis723: that's a great idea, I'd love to find someone to do this with, but it's hard with sleeping schedules! What's the secret!??!?!?</p> <p>We're so boring. But we were this way before kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192805 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 06:06:09 +0000 chopsuey 192805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really! I was really excited last night though :) went to bed at 8:30!! Was so weird sleeping while it was still light out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192728 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:21:59 +0000 katmmad 192728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to a ton of early dinners at 5 or 5:30 when places open. LO is great at restaurants (he's 10mo)... Loves trying new foods, getting his juice-flavored water, his mum mums, etc. Then we pick up a bottle of wine, put baby to bed, and enjoy the bottle of wine together over a movie or chat or game. It's nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192726 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:14:42 +0000 Mrs. Train 192726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at home most of the time. My mom lives next door but we still stay in. </p> <p>If your patents or family aren't near by you can try shared babysitting with other couples. My sister had a set of four friends. Each couple got to go out one Friday a month and had to watch kids one night. They had a little rotation schedule that worked great for them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192698 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:30:08 +0000 matador84 192698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much! Our weekends are precious though with DH working out of town all week. We live in a medium sized suburb in West Texas so there is not a lot to do. Last night we ate out dinner and he took me for a slushie, tonight we grilled and went for a walk. Nothing excited, but fun for us. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192696 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:29:36 +0000 mrs. bird 192696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LOs, not pregnant, and our Friday/Saturday nights still aren't usually exciting! Last night DH was sick, so I went to my patents' for dinner after work, when I got home, we were both so tired we fell asleep with the light still on:D tonight we went out for dinner and now I'm snuggling the cat &amp; listening to our neighbor's party, DH has gone to get a movie because we don't think we'll be sleeping with all the noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192688 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:21:52 +0000 Rubies 192688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same boat! We have our mothers close by but we never want to inconvenience them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192677 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:04:46 +0000 eeh 192677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband's work schedule means a Friday/Saturday night is no different than a Monday night. There's no such thing as a weekend. He did manage to get 48 hours off this weekend because of working too much. Last night we got ice cream and went grocery shopping. We were in bed by 9:30. Tonight I cooked a big dinner and our neighbor came over. Now the 3 (hubs, neighbor, and me) of us are sitting in our living room watching DVR'd Duck Dynasty episodes and I'm in my sweats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192654 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:14:59 +0000 Running Elley 192654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm our LO isn't even here yet and ours are already not exciting! Last night we watched the Wellenda walk coverage (and the leading up to it stuff) for a few hours and some funny videos on YouTube before we just went to sleep! Tonight we are going to dinner but then we'll be home watching Grey's until bed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192651 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:04:33 +0000 Andrea 192651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same, not sure when we will start hiring sitters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192648 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:55:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 192648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heh, same here. Babysitting would cost about as much as a date (dinner and movie). My mom does babysit for us though, we pay her in love, appreciation, and occasional Joann purchases lol<br /> My sister owes me for babysitting too - so I know she would as well. </p> <p>Once Cobi is a little older we will probably try to go out more like once a month, or every other month. We don't plan to have another kid anytime soon.</p> <p>But no, our fridays/saturdays are boring now. We actually stay home quite a bit unless there is a wedding or family function to go to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-friday-andor-saturday-nights-exciting#post-192645 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:40:02 +0000 mrbee 192645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Bee and I don't really leave the house in the evenings together... if one of us has something exciting to do, we usually do it alone. That way, the other one can stay home and watch the kids.</p> <p>Once the kids are a bit older, it will be wonderful to have a sitter watch the sleeping kids while we go out and do wild and crazy things (e.g. watching a movie or going to dinner).</p> <p>Our problem now is that the cost of hiring said sitter would easily triple the cost of a night out, and we're just too cheap (I mean, frugal) to spend that much just to get out of the house. It'd be totally different if our moms lived nearby and could babysit, but that's just not the case alas.</p> <p>Are your Friday and/or Saturday nights exciting? If so, what's your secret? :) </p>
