Date Night

Maggie and John came over on Monday to hang out with Ian so Casey and I could celebrate one of our last nights with just one kid. Yay! It was so nice to get out and just be Casey and Melissa. We went to Ragazzi's for dinner, a local Italian restaurant in Longmont. It was okay. I've had better, but I've also had worse. The most unfortunate part was our waiter and truthfully a good waiter can make up for a lot. I would probably go back, but I am not so sure I can convince Casey to. After dinner, we went to see Dinner with Schmucks. I was excited because I had read good reviews. Plus, I love Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd. There were some funny parts, but it was also a bit disappointing. I wanted it to be more over the top and ridiculous - don't get me wrong it was both of those things at times, but it also had this warm and fuzzy piece that made me feel bad for the guy and not want to laugh at what I can only assume the writer's wanted me to think was funny. It didn't help that I could barely fit into the theater seat either, but we won't go into that now.

I was exhausted after the movie, but thankful that we got to spend the time together. Thanks Maggie and John! After the movie, Casey had to wait for me while I was in the restroom. He stumbled upon a vending machine with fake mustaches. He had to get one for Ian and I was happy to splurge the 25 cents for this priceless look on my little man's face the next morning!
