go out on "date nights" with my spouse on a regular basis

It would be so great to have a regular date night with my husband, at least twice a month. Having children makes that hard though. We have never had anyone other than family babysit our kids, and his mom is always babysitting his brother’s kids. My dad is not the babysitting type, and my mom just had open heart surgery.

For now we settle to watch a movie after the children go to bed. That works, and now and then we get to go and do something fun. Usually a movie and dinner. He wants to take me to the museum though and I cannot wait!
