Date night! Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard stroll arm-in-arm after enjoying romantic dinner
It's important for parents to carve out time for themselves.
And that's what Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard did on Wednesday evening.
The couple left their two little girls at home and enjoyed a date night at celebrity hot spot Craig's in West Hollywood.

The pair, who have been married for five years, had dinner at the restaurant, which specialises in classic American cuisine including steaks and meatloaf.
Then they strolled along trendy Melrose Avenue with their arms around one another, perhaps to do a little window shopping.
Maggie was casually dressed in a long white lace dress and black ballet flats. She donned a black coat to keep warm on the slightly chilly evening.

The 37-year-old, who picked up a Golden Globe for her performance in The Honourable Woman earlier this month, completed her look with a large, Pharrell Williams-style hat that covered her brunette, pixie-cut hair.
Peter, 43, was equally casual in a red sweatshirt, jeans and light blue sneakers.
He hung a pair of glasses from the neckline, which he had probably needed to read the menu.
Maggie and Peter married in May 2009 after seven years of dating, and are the proud parents of eight-year-old Ramona and Gloria Ray, two.
