The Worm and The Pear: Date Night

Mike and I had date night on Sunday night. It was our first date, sans kids, in over a year. Somewhere Dr. Phil is screaming in horror. Of course, he'd probably disapprove of us spending our last anniversary at a Gus Macker tournament, etc., etc. Hey, it's how we roll.

My mom drove up to watch the kids Sunday so we could drive to Columbus to see one of Mike's former Wabash players, Michael Palascak, perform his comedy act at the Funny Bone. Oh my, he was hysterical. Well worth the trip! The audience just loved him. I'm not a big fan of raunchy humor and that's what made his act even more impressive. It was funny without being crude. He's only 26 and has already been on Comedy Central and performed at colleges and clubs across the country. He has a bright future ahead. Check out his website: http://www.michaelpalascak.com/. He also has several clips on You Tube. Just search for "Michael Palascak".

Mike and Michael.

The Worm and I before the big date. Yes, I even have on lipstick.

Alright, I'm too lazy to start a new post, so I'm going to include a few pictures from tonight on here.

During the summer, Mike is home with the kids the three days that I work. It works out great because we save childcare $$ and the kids get a chance to bond with Daddy. I can already see the influence he's had on them. Taylor is smacking the ball off the tee now and Michael is shooting on the big (Little Tikes) hoop now. Of course, not all influences are good:

Okay, I can't really blame that on Mike, but Michael thought it was soooo funny that Taylor and I were grossed out.

Mike had a summer league game tonight, so the kids and I decided to try out one of Taylor's recent presents - sidewalk paint. It started out innocent enough, but the wheels fell off really fast. I knew baths were in order tonight, so I just let them have at it.
