The Movies

Ruth & I had an actual date Saturday night--babysitter & everything! We decided to go to the movies, but under NO circumstances was it to be a movie by Disney or Pixar.

We saw Julie & Julia. And we loved it! Unfortunately, I really regretted eating at the mall food court before. We didn't get ill, it was just the decision to eat at the food court that seemed... wrong. (being at a mall on a Saturday night is a discussion for another day)

And speaking of movies, we try to do pizza & movie night once a week. The day has been changing, but we think we've hit on the perfect day--Thursday! Ruth works from home on Thursdays, so we can start the movie earlier than other weeknights. Weekends are just too busy to try to do it, so there you are.

This last weeks movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Teddy hasn't been great about seeing the classic Disney movies. No matter how hard we try to tell him that there's a happy ending, you just have to get through the scary parts, he has never been able to watch one all the way through. Maybe 6 1/2 is the magic number, because we watched it all the way through this time.

Pizza this week was frozen. Teddy had his Amy's gluten-free rice crust pizza with added turkey pepperoni, and Ruth & I had a frozen everything.

Next week I hope to make pizza from scratch; not sure what the movie will be.
