Doesn't lead to things as we both have to get to back to work, but it is a good way to start the weekend off.
In the evenings, we often play dice or sit out on the patio together. Again, it may or may not lead to things...most of the time, not...but it is a few minutes together just connecting.
We used to go on walks each and every evening. Did that for 12 yrs..up till Bri was about two. We would talk and share and dream...those were special times. Now we still go on walks but with two munchkins along its hard to get that special sharing back. Instead its a lot of munchkin management and care. Help the bike up the hill, look at the snail, don't push, smell the flower, see the figure in the clouds...special kid connection time, but not spouse time anymore.
Cooking dinner together (we have to threaten the kids that if they come in the kitchen, they HAVE to help...and that only keeps them out about 40% of the time). Its a nice time to share about the day, just the two of us. Now it isn't often we cook together (usually a weekend evening) but sometimes it does happen, and its nice.
Home improvement..yeah, right! With two kids around? Oh good golly, spare me. Its enought to keep Connor and Brianna out of the sawdust, away from the wet paint, no you may not help stain, ect. Who has time then to pay attention to a spouse????
