Babysitting Co-op

We have a few couples nearby with babies about Sam's age.  Since we're always scrambling to find a sitter at the last minute for our weekly date night, we guessed they might also be in the same boat.  A few emails later we had our own babysitting co-op up and running!  We volunteered for the first night and it went great.  It was almost easier watching them all together because they entertained each other.  And now we've got our Saturday night sitting taken care of for the whole month!  The co-op goes from 5-8pm, enough time to grab dinner or a movie (or both if you sneak take-out into the theater!) and get home in time to put the little guys to bed.
