We had a nice late afternoon of shopping at the Outlet Mall. Matt found two new pair of tennis shoes. One for working out/running and one for everyday wear. I found a cute casual pair of sketchers that I had been wanting to get that just slip on with a strap across the top. Matt also found a pair of casual pants that he really needed because his pants are starting to fall off. Wouldn't want that to happen now would we?
After shopping we went to a place called the Cool Mint Cafe but they were full so we ended up at this new Thai place. I forget the name. When we finally finished dinner we headed home. Now, when we left the house we had told the boys to be in bed by 8:00. We do this every time we go out but they never seem to make it. Matter of fact they are usually late by an hour. So we were expecting to show up at home at 8:45 and find them still up. We didn't stay out very late because of church the next day.
So here we come driving up to the house and it's dark inside. No lights at all except for a nice glow from Joshua's room from his night light. We go inside and both of the boys are in bed with lights out. I was so proud of them both. But that is not all that happened tonight. While we were at the restaurant eating, I think it was around 7:30 Sean called to ask if they could watch some Star Wars Clone Wars the TV show on the computer. He could have just as easily of just done it but no. He called and asked for permission.
What a night. Our kids are becoming more responsible and I am so proud of them. It is so nice to be able to trust them to do what they are suppose to do when we are away. Way to go boys.
