Movie Date With The Hubby!!

So another part of my Birthday Celebration was to go on a MOVIE DATE NIGHT with my hubby! ( I told you I was making it a Bday weekend!)

So on Saturday Daniel asked his parents to watch the kids and we headed out!!

And I even got to pick the movie!! :) Oh and you know it was a CHICK FLICK! :) Daniel was a great sport about it though!! :)


Here we are during one of the 200 previews!! :) Seriously sometimes I forget what movie we are watching after all the PREVIEWS! Does that ever happen to you?!?! :) ha!



** Side Note: This picture makes me laugh, it was dark in there and the flash on my phone was SOOOO bright, as you can see on my face. I look startled!! Well that's why! ha! **
Finally it started...

And it was Cute! Probably not one the guys will LOVE but I liked it! :) So did Daniel! :)

Oh and I think if you are a Mom, especially a Working Mom, you will like it even more. Just because I think you can relate to her Juggling Act! :)


All of us Mom's struggle to "DO IT ALL" and that's what it's all about! :)


Well after the movie we stopped in the parking lot for like 5 -10 minutes, to watch the rotating clouds! Yes, there was a STORM brewing while we were in the theater! When we came out we saw lots of low hanging clouds. It was kind of eerie!!


But it's something Daniel LOVES to watch! My hubby the storm chaser!! :) Shhhh!! Don't tell him, but it was kind of cool! ha! :)
Then it was time to head home and back to the KIDDOS!! :) Such a perfect night! :)
