Date Night *EDITED*

Mr. Chili and I have an evening to ourselves while the girls perform in their second night of the middle school play (we went to opening night last night, and will bring flowers to the closing show tomorrow afternoon).  We’re thinking dinner and a movie; we’re hoping to get to the 7:05 showing of this:
