Meghan and I always appreciate the chance to have a night to ourselves, and tonight was one of those nights, as it was a pre-planned date night in which Mom and Ron were watching the kids for us. We started out by going to one of our favorite restaurants that is not very kid-friendly, Torreon. We've always liked it, though in the past it's been annoying as it was pretty much the only Mexican restaurant I know of that didn't have unlimited chips and salsa for free. We (and especially I) are chips and salsa fanatics, so we would never not get it with our meal at a Mexican restaurant and the one complimentary basket was not normally adequate, so it was always a little aggravating that we had to pay a few bucks for it. We were pleased to see this time that they had dropped that policy and provided us with the all of the delicious appetizer we wanted for free.
We also love games, and something we used to do a lot in our old house that we hadn't yet done in this house was play croquet. It's the type of game that doesn't work too well with small kids, as I'm pretty sure Joshua would dedicate himself to finding and removing every wicket and also chucking the croquet balls across the yard. Mowing is on the agenda for tomorrow, which means that the grass is quite long now, so it wasn't ideal for yard games (you can't even see Meghan's ball in the picture), but it still worked and was a lot of fun. We were really appreciative of the chance to have a night to ourselves and to get to do some things that we can't normally do.
