He loves when I call him Luke-y.
Anyways, this is pretty much a post devoted to how awesome I am, so if that sounds annoying, you can skip this.
For Luke's birthday, I skipped gift giving (not that we really give gifts anyway) and decided to make a nice meal for the two of us.
We are paying down debt right now with the long term goal of taking a trip to Italy, so I put together an authentic, (more or less) Italian meal.
We had fried mozzarella, grilled cheese bread, homemade pasta with homemade red sauce, broccoli with oil and garlic and finally frozen vanilla custard.
We also had red wine from Italy (thanks mom and dad).
It took a pretty good chunk of the day to get the meal ready, especially given that I got lots of "help" from little people. We put the kiddos down and enjoyed a candle light meal--proving that date night is still possible on a budget!
Bella Italian dinner. Good job!
