W just told me that some friends invited us to dinner next week and she asked if I wanted to come, and should she get a sitter.

I Agree.
I assume you are speaking to her in person about this. Tone, inflection, facial expression, body language are very important.
This is how I would state it :"I'll stay with the kids. You go and have a great time."
Your intention is to communicate that staying home with the kids will be a great time. Nothing else could be better, but she is free to go find that out.
