Monster Mash

Sara had a meeting tonight, so that means it was "Dad's night to cook"! The kids always choose that I "cook" Spangles, so off we went. The entire restaurant has a retro theme and tonight, we sat near the movie monsters and robots from the early days of motion pictures. "Tobor the Great", "The Creature from the Black Lagoon", "Forbidden Planet", and "The Bride of Frankenstein" are just some of the greats featured on the wall. It was raining pretty good outside so we spent some extra time talking about each other's day and, of course, the monsters on the wall.

O is for Oscar

See the pepperoni? They're shaped like the letter "O", and "O" is for Oscar. Oscar night means pizza night at our house. This tradition has become standard for other awards show nights, too. Grammy's, Golden Globes, ACM's, CMA's, AMA's, etc. We eat pizza a lot at our house.

Crazy Love

Had an enjoyable evening tonight. Got to do something that we don't get to do very often. We went out with other adults for dinner and a movie, without the kids, to celebrate Sara's birthday a little early! I know...most of you do that every week, but as busy as we are with our kids' activities, this is a real treat for us. We enjoyed the best pizza in town (and you'll never get me to think any different) from The Back Alley and then went to see 'Crazy Love'. The music (think outlaw country/Waylon Jennings style) was good. The story was good, too. Not knowing much about the movie going in, I was pleased coming out. We need to do this more often!

Redbox Rocks!

We rented a movie last night at McDonald's for Amber to watch. The Hannah Montana Movie. It's almost showtime!
