We haven't had a date night in awhile, and I wasn't sure what to make of Aurora wanting to stay up later. Well, tonight Chuck came home a little early and it occurred to me... going to bed later just means we can take her along and have family date nights!!! So, that's exactly what we did.
We went to Mandola's, where they have delicious food, kids meals for only $3 that come with a drink and gelato, and of course, crayons! Here's Aurora asking daddy to draw a hyena. She was in a great mood and seemed so happy to be going out to dinner, and we really had a chance to chat and catch up without the distractions of TV and computers.
My work should be calming down now, so I'll probably try cooking a bit more again - but depending on Chuck's schedule, I'm hoping we can have family dinners and weekly family date nights from here on out.

We *love* Mandola's. My in-law's said it is completely okay for us to go there every time they come to visit - and we are happy to oblige!
You'll have to take me to Mandola's next time I visit. Sounds like a cool place.
Glad you were all able to have an enjoyable evening out.
Glad to see Aurora getting hooked on eating out at such an early age. Kudos! Now you can see why we like eating out, LOL!
Looks like Aurora could have used one of the pasta forks that we sent to you, LOL! Granny Nancy said she'll try them, if you prefer not to experiment, LOL!
We filmed a practice video tape of John showing how to use the Original Pasta Fork. We'll e-mail a link to it when he uploads it to YouTube. It's rather funny since Cheezhead John didn't want his own face in the video, LOL!
We want to insert a more professional version in an upcoming website.
Here's the video link of Cheezhead John eating pasta:
