The Date Knight.

Hey To ya!

So this week has been really busy & stressful for my hubby, so i wanted to give him a nice relaxing date night.

Wednesday nights are the one night a week that we devote ourselves to "date night" at home. (and since he is so busy, that leaves me with the fun part of planning!) Whether it be wine tasting, beer tasting, playing a game, or like this week, just relaxing with a movie themed date.

I started off the day with texting Brian 3 words. (after i had selected 3 movies that would or could set the theme of the evening). this is the text....

Just to clarify: The electric, one texts was me asking where the air pump was... shut those dirty minds off.

So with DARK being selected, it was then that i would start setting up for that theme..... Can you guess what movie it would be?

If you guessed, the dark knight rises, you would be correct friend!! Since google and pinterest are my friends i had googled a few Ideas. I decided to turn the basement into the "bat cave".....

the sign on the door to the basement.

our bat cups and our dark snack. 

You cant see it very well but i projected a bat
onto the wall from a flash light. it looked pretty rad.

So, when brian learned that we were having a relaxing night, he was all in. Time to shut the brains off, cuddle up and relax. I decided this week wasnt the week to pelt him with lovey dovey questions and cheesy date night stuff. So ..... this turned out to be a great, relaxing evening.

He had one of those silly smiles on his face when i lit up the wicked cool bat mirage on the wall. All i did was cut out a bat and stuck it the the coffee table attached with tape, onto a pencil. (a toothpick or skewer would have worked better).....  then i put the flashlight where i wanted it to make the bat look pretty large and that was it. simple. easy. and oh so nice! 

Batman would have to be, probably my second favorite comic book/ movies (number one is iron man.... because RDJ is fun to watch)... but batman.... Hes ever so elusive, BUT the dark knight rises is my ultimate favorite because... drum roll.... the bad guy BANE is well... none other than tom hardy (who by the way rocks my socks as a hollywood crush) ... i dont know any man that can make that creepy mask sexy. But he does.... haha. 

Bane and the creepy face thing.

Oh Tom. Hardy. 

So anyways, date night was a big hit.... free..... and fun!

I hope everyone has a great finish to their week!
