For our eight year anniversary we hired two sitters (teen sisters at a rate of $14/hr total) to come and keep all six kids.  We went to a Mexican restaurant and then went grocery shopping together.   Eating out when I have to avoid all traces of milk and eggs (due to baby's bad reactions thru nursing) is a challenge.  I was able to eat chips and salsa, tacos without cheese, and after interrogating the waiter about the sopapilla frying process, a sopapilla minus the whipped cream and butterscotch.  I don't think we've gone grocery shopping together without children for several years.  Strolling the aisles of the local Publix without even one child with us made us feel like newlyweds again.  (LOL)  On the way home we listened to Norah Jones singing "Come Away With Me."  Great song, great idea...we really should get out more often!
