Date Night

For those of you who know that I've seen one movie in the theatre this year and haven't slept through the night since 2001, you will be surprised to know that I went on a date last night. With my husband. We went out and painted at one of those girlie pottery painting places and had dinner at an indian place. We painted a big long platter of fruits, vegetables, and dragonflies. J was quite afraid of the painting and said that he hadn't done an art project since middle school. This is just not true because every year I get a three foot tall homemade Valentine complete with poems, cut out hearts and red glitter glue. We were inspired (somewhat, I hope) by little John's first vist to the farmer's market yesterday and a swarm of dragonflies in the pasture across from our house.

Speaking of my one movie this year, we got a great baby gift from Uncle Joe and Aunt Ren, a year of Netflix to keep this date night thing going as the little ones snooze away. J is such a moviegoer, and has been known to go to more than one movie in a day. We were pretty spoiled in Portland by the number of moviehouses we could visit without even getting in the car. Now we can just walk to the mailbox. Thanks guys.
