We finally went on a date and we still like each other! We escaped an escape room and then helped our youngest escape his recent screen addiction. Turns out all it took was...trying a little bit harder. Kevin went to see Fantastic Four with our oldest and the only part she hated was the birth scene, which led us into talking about not filming our own birth...did you film yours? If you're in L.A.,...

Trying to make the most of our last summer weeks, we're going away for the weekend and going to enjoy our first date in awhile.
