How do you make the most of those times?
I know often after we get the kids into bed we are both so tired from the week that we just want to cuddle up and watch a movie.
I will confess, I don't think this is making the most of our time together. While I enjoy being in his arms and watching a good flick, I don't think our relationship is strengthened as much as if we were creative with our time and enjoyed good conversation and laughter together.
No, movies aren't bad. We watched Inception last night and had a good time. I just don't think movie night should be the norm.
I guess that was kind of a random vent...of sorts.
Here is a date idea...
You probably already had dinner with the kids.
What about making a dessert together and setting out a nice tablecloth and candles? Create a different environment. I know some people would read that and think "cheesy". But seriously if you treat something special then it becomes so. Go comb your hair, put on your cute apron, make dessert, light the candles, enjoy dessert. If you'd like something to talk about-talk about childhood. What were your favorite T.V. shows and games to play? Who was your best friend? What vacations did your family enjoy taking? What are your favorite memories with your grandparents?
I guess if you don't want to make dessert then make some type of appetizer yummy. If you just don't want to eat, then play with play dough while you talk about childhood. :)
Enjoy your time together this weekend!
