It’s Date Night!
October 3rd 2008 11:34
My fiancé and I rarely have a moment to us these days, let alone time together. While we do spend the evenings catching up after the kids go to sleep, the time is either spent droned out from exhaustion in front of the TV or having family-related discussions. There’s nothing wrong with that, mind you, but we still need some quality time that’s planned.
That’s why we have date night!
Rather than going out tonight, we’re going to have a special dinner and watch some movies. Gas prices and the hike in prices just about everywhere else has caused us to do some creative thinking when it comes these events. The kids will be off with their other parents or with friends, so why not enjoy a quiet house . . . right? Right!
For dinner, I’m making shrimp scampi served over angel hair pasta, clam cakes, crab cakes, and spinach salad. For dessert, I’m going to pick up one of those cheesecakes that has a variety of flavored slices. That way, when the kids come home, they can also have something special to enjoy.
We’re going to surf through the on-demand movie channels and see what’s on. If we can’t find anything, there’s always the regular Friday line-up. (We like Ghost Whisperer!)
This may not seem like any big deal to some, but with four kids running around . . . this is going to be a great evening. We’re going to have a nice, relaxing French toast breakfast in the morning, too. Usually mornings around here, school days and weekends alike, are hectic when the kids are home. So, it’s going to be refreshing to take our time and not rush through from one thing to the next.
What are your plans for tonight?
