we went on a date!

It wasn't anything special, we just went to a movie. But it was nice to get out, just the two of us! I did, however, have to remind the Sergeant that when you take a girl out you should make an effort to, you know, talk to her. In response, he said, "hi." What a conversationalist I married. ;) I also had to remind him that when you're on a date in a movie theatre it's okay to hold hands. He gave me a look like I grew an extra head...but he held my hand. For a few minutes anyway. And he smiled at me too.

And the Little Mister had a good time upstairs with our neighbors. He was a good boy and ate his dinner (we've been having a hard time getting him to eat anything he can't feed himself..), and when we got there to pick him up he gave us big smiles. I missed him, but it's good to know he's okay with the neighbors for a little bit.

(In case you're wondering, we saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It wasn't as good as the original, but it was an excellent sequel, and there was obvious set-up for a third movie...which made me happy because I like the characters, and the history stuff is fun too. Plus...Nicolas Cage. Do I have to say more?)

  3. That sounds fun. I am glad you took the time out for some adult time. I heard that movie was pretty good, but I have to say: I am pretty over Nicholas Cage.

  5. My son loves to try to feed himself . . . which doesn't work so well when he tries to grab the spoon and carrots end up in his hair or ear . . or all of the above.

  8. That's GREAT! I didn't even know you had a date planned.

    I had to laugh at the Sergeant needing prompting to talk! He is too funny :)

    Now you can do it again, and soon. And hey, maybe next time you can go out for dinner - then he'll *really* have to talk!!

  12. Glad you had a good time! Hubby and I want to see that movie too.

    We're having similar trouble with getting Lance to eat stuff he can't feed himself. He's trying to learn how to use his spoon, and he's sometimes successful, but he WILL NOT allow us to spoon-feed him anymore. He does fairly well with his fork. (When he waves the fork around, the food can't fall off, I suppose!) So we've been serving up a lot of finger food these days!
