Spaghetti with the chance of Meatballs

Chris and I have enjoyed being inventive when it comes to date night. Recently we have had dates at home. We feed the kids, put them to bed early, then have our special dinner and movie in the family room.

Tonight the kids had a special "date night" before ours. We rented "Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs" from Redbox. (We love the $1 rentals!) They ate their meal in the family room on their little table and chairs, over beach towels, of course! Can you guess what was for dinner?

Spaghetti and Meatballs!

It was simple, but fun. Mostly, it was great to do something a little special for them while showing them how think outside the box ... at home.
