Awww cute about the fish!! Glad some have made it.
As to the party - I'm sorry for the change in plans. My H does that stuff too - expects me to mind read and then get confused, annoyed, whatever when I "guess" wrong.
As to the night out - I think this could be a great opportunity for you! Take the reins and plan something wonderful for the two of you instead of waiting/hoping he will.
A little wink and a joking "warning" that he needs to dress nice, and then plan something where it makes sense! I don't know what that might be... definitely something that he'd like too, but something where you get to dress up and wow him, have fun with it and make yourself totally glamorous.
Trying to think of ideas as to WHAT that could be.. if you have the $$ for it you could do a nice dinner out, maybe a Christmas thing of some sort that's not necessarily a musical, see if there are any charity or holiday events coming up that sound like fun?
Or a less expensive option... can your Mom take the kids somewhere else and you can do the whole dress up/glam thing and cook him a nice gourmet dinner at home? Would he (and you) enjoy that kind of thing??
Or one last idea that might work if you can keep your expectations low - go along with "whatever" he has planned. But dress up as you wanted to. If you end up Christmas shopping in a beautiful dress, heels, all that - well, so be it! My GUESS though is that if your H saw you all decked out like that he'd step up and do something else instead.
Just a few thoughts.. you know your H better of course, but what do you think?
