Date Night!

Neal and I had a date night last night! It's the first time we've been out without Kira since Neal's birthday back in June. Neal was given some movie tickets from his work (a "thank-you" for being there for a year), and we thought we're better off using them now, before Belly Bean arrives. We asked our sister-in-law, Virginia, to come and babysit Kira for us. We thought that would be a good way for them to get familiar with each other before I go into labour, as Virginia is going to babysit Kira then, too. Kira was very excited to see Virginia, and seemed happy for us to go. She was good for Virginia (so Virginia says) - I'm feeling more relaxed now about leaving Kira with her (I've been feeling a bit anxious about finding suitable babysitting arrangements for Kira for when I'm in labour).

We went to see the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still", which was pretty good. I didn't realise it was a remake until later, but I felt like I'd seen it before (though I get that a lot!). We went out for dinner afterwards, to a Malaysian restaurant (great food, but not so great for my heartburn!). It was about 10pm when we were eating dessert, and I asked Neal where he felt like going next. His reply? "Home"! Which was fine with me, but when did we get so old?!?!? Goodness knows when we'll be able to go out sans kids again.
