We fell into a date night rather easily Saturday when I asked my mom if they would take Riley overnight.  We had about 42 different plans but finally ended up choosing a movie night complete with nachos, popcorn and 3D glasses.  We went to see Avatar at 9:20 in Andover and we practically had the whole theatre to ourselves!  It was a really great movie and I was shocked that we didn't get uncomfortable or antsy during the nearly 3 hour time slot.  Although when we finally got up we did feel a little stiff and disoriented from the 3D experience.  Driving home D said he felt a little drunk and my eyes were tired but it was so much fun!  It's still very hard to walk into an empty house with no Riley Man.  A little piece of my heart hurt and ached to see him and Derrick kept saying how much he missed him.  Our nightly routine is to go into his room before we hit the sack, cover him up and mutter to ourselves/eachother how cute he is and what a good boy he is and we both painfully missed that last night.  It confirms my suspicions that there is no way we could leave him in MN while we are in Mexico!  We both slept in until 10:00 and feel remarkably refreshed and ready for the big game tonight!  It will sting a little not seeing the purple and gold hit the field but we are cheering Saints all the way now!  Go see Avatar in the theatre!  I do think it is one movie that is worth the big screen!
