11} dress up or casual? stay in or go out? 

hmm. that depends.  with young children our "dates" are typically a movie + take out + a bottle of wine, so sometimes it's fun to dress up, feel a little sexy, put on heels, and go out.  but i'm also quite content to grab a coffee together and hang out at a bookstore.
