We've got $40 in gift cards at an Italian restaurant that are expiring today, so we've convinced the kids to eschew their other plans for tonight and actually go out for a family meal together.
We eat meals together at the table most nights-- something I'm proud to say we've specifically emphasized as important over the years-- but this is different. We rarely go out to eat as a family anymore, and it's something we used to enjoy a great deal before schedules got so busy.
I'm really looking forward to it.
