Mummy & Daddy's Movie Date Night

Okay, it wasn't really a "date" night for Mummy and Daddy but it was definitely a movie night. So our strategy was to pair off with our friends, Miriam and Matt. The mommies (Tab & Miri) went and saw the new James Bond movie: Casino Royale first while the daddies (Chhimi & Matt) were home tending to the two babies (Gabriel & Erik) AND cook dinner. Alright, it was really Daddy who made the dinner...and a fabulous dinner it was (Drunken angel hair pasta with italian turkey sausage sauce and proscuitto wrapped shrimp with garlic and basil: Thanks to Food Network)! Then the Daddies went for the later movies while the mommies tend to the babies in the evenings.

This strategy had worked very well before with our other friends, Connie & Ed, when their boy was only a baby (Sigh!! He's already 7 years old!) Anyways, the movie night went quite well! Mommy & Daddy both liked Casino Royale and since we are BIG movie fans (Pre-Erik, we went to the movies almost every other weekend!), it wasn't a big deal that Mommy & Daddy didn't get to go see it together, we still got to discuss about it afterwards.

Of course, we'll need to work on a strategy of Group Baby Sitting when the babies are a bit older. That way, Mommy & Daddy can do a real "Date Night" together!!

By the way, during the first 15 minutes of the movie, Mommy was still thinking whether Erik is okay with the Daddies. Sigh!!
