Seafood and Flytraps: just your average evening out.

       Date nights, in general, are great. But when its been a bit since you've had one, they tend to be really great. On Friday we had a really great one! We had a fantastic dinner, seated in a nearly empty section of the restaurant, where we could talk and joke freely. And without kids to watch us, we even got to horse around at the table! If you have much experience with crab legs, you'll know that empty pincers make great dueling weapons, and less-than-great chop sticks. ;)
      We meant to get a picture of the two of us, because we never remember to get pictures of just the two of us. But in our normal style, we forgot!
      After dinner we took a walk together. Stopped in a little shop and got something for each of the kids. And then stopped at the grocery store on the way home. And yes, that still counts as part of a date! Just him and me, able to hold hands and stroll together. It most definitely counts!
      At the store, I found a new little addition to add to our busy home. And my loving husband indulged me; he's pretty sweet that way.

Our new venus flytrap. Still working on a name for him.

      I had never seen one in person before. And now he sits in my kitchen window, poised to defend our home from flying pests... or something like that. Some girls want flowers on a date, some want a carnivorous plant. And hey, flowers don't eat flies. :)
