A (Long Overdue) Date Night

Tonight Tim & I had our first date in an embarrassingly long time. We ate delicious Umami burgers (port caramelized onions & blue cheese) with sweet potato fries and then went to the Alcove cafe to break our already overstuffed stomachs with cheesecake & peanut butter fudge cake. Porter did fine for his first time babysat & Matilda had a fantastic time as our neighbors made her anchovy pizza for dinner.
We are all prepped for the big birthday tomorrow. Matilda's new bike is parked in the living room under a quilt awaiting her. The ice cream cake is ordered, the presents are wrapped, and more anchovy pizza is planned for tomorrow night. Now I am going to crash and hope desperately that both kids have a better nights sleep than last night, which left Tim & I both slightly broken this morning.

Here are the sugar cookies M took to share at school today. She requested these animals specifically (triceratops, bats and sea stars), choosing the frosting color and everything. This morning she was even attempting to dictate which friend would get each specific cookie. I gently suggested that everyone should get to pick their own cookie but she wasn't too sure.
