The first time the $20 night idea came up was when Chris and I discovered the $2.25 rice ball at Falcone's. The rice ball is filled with different veggies, ham and covered in sauce. It is enough for two starving adults. The last time Chris had one we discussed how a rice ball and a dollar movie would be a cheap date. So tonight we turned our idea into "Family Fun Night." Now we can't compete with Aaron and Shell's day. We only had the evening, not the whole day. Of course, we started the evening off at Falcone's. Chris and I split the rice ball and Draven had two slices of pepperoni pizza. That was $7.86. After that we stocked up on snacks at 7-11. I got Boston Baked Beans, Draven got the Whoopers, and Chris got a Tall Boy. That was $6ish (I don't have that receipt.) After that it was off to see Iron Man. Our tickets were $1.75 each, that was $5.25. We ended up with a little change left and Draven bought some toy out of the Machine at the theater. We started to head home until I realized I had a couple of lottery tickets in my wallet I need to check. Chris ran into the convenience store and came out with $15 bucks. We weren't going to count that towards our family night because the tickets were from months ago. But still... I was a great night. Our food was great, the movie was fantastic! Now we are home at 10pm and ready for bed. Lillie slept through most of the movie. Lets hope she sleeps as good as she did last night... 8 hours!
Next time we do our family fun night I will try to take more pictures. I kept forgetting my camera. I usually keep it in my purse, but with a baby I don't take my purse in anywhere. I always have the diaper bag with me.
I know this looks pretty gross. But trust me... It is pretty darn good.

jon and i ate at the falcone's in bricktown on monday night. we are huge fans of falcone's, but our food was terrible! maybe it was because we went right before closing.
we have also found that the one on may is better than the one in bricktown. which one did you eat at?
oh! i just realized that monday night jon and i went out and spent less than $20!!!!!! now i get to post about $20 date night, too!
We went to the one on May. And honestly, the rice ball wasn't as good as it was last time. Hard on the outside and cold in the middle. They knew they screwed it up too, but we didn't have time for another one. But still $2.25 for a full belly is hard to beat!
that sounds like a great evening. we need to do the $20 family date too!
Sounds like an awesome family date! I love the pic of Lillie holding the cash. :-)
Very good job....mmmmmm Falcones sounds pretty good right now!
