Need ideas for "Just the 2 of Us" time...
Dave and I have decided to make some "just the 2 of us" time in the evenings after Tyler is down for the night.
We thought we'd buy some board/card games for a start. We'll also be working on crafts and woodworking together some.
Anyone have any other ideas?Sherry

No kidding, Chelle.
We watch TV some and play a game on the computer together (from different floors of the house). Both are not very productive or good for us.Sherry

how about:
work on a crossword puzzle together
get out an old cd/tape (one with that comes with the lyrics and preferably a song that is hard to understand) Then you each get a piece of paper and see who can come closest to the right lyrics, The winner will get a massage, or something else of their desire
Get a book that you both would like to read, or even just a book you think he'd like and vise versa; and take turns reading aloud to each other while the other person gives the reader neck/back or foot massage..
workout together(my dh keeps *saying he will lol!) just lifting light weights, and stretching together is nice because you aren't so out of breath that you can't talk to each other too...
My dh loves it when I take the time to pluck his eyebrows, and cut his nails for him, so if your dh doesn't mind you could do stuff like that for him, and if you are brave, let him paint your toenails
I like the cooking together idea someone mentioned, you guys could pick a new recipe that you've never tried...or just bake some cookies/muffins
Get one of those trivia booklets and quiz each other
Color together
Teach each other things that only that person knows how to do(whatever it may be, knitting, fixing a leaky pipe, etc)
I can't remember if it was said already, but maybe working on a jigsaw puzzle together, make hot cocoa and some chex mix or popcorn to munch on while you do it..
Make friendship bracelets together...If you don't know how, it'd be a great thing to do to learn how to together
