Ladies Night Out.

"But you won't be there to give me my hug before bed."

"Who will read us stories?" (Papa did.)

"Can I come too?"

...was what I got from the children as they contemplated my night out this evening. 

Our big boy was very sweet and had this envisioned for my evening out:

"Take off your shoes, sit on the beach and watch the sunset."

We were near the beach but it was properly dark by the time we met. Two hours, a bottle of wine and some scrumptious tapas later, I was happy to be home with the husband, watching "Only Murders in the Building". 

It's been a lovely day overall and I'm very grateful.
