Date Night

Dave and I have a weekly date night, which usually means we eat dinner together (which because of his work schedule only happens once or twice a week) and then we sneak Wawa coffee into Barnes and Noble and read till our hearts are content. We've been doing this for a few months, and although I really enjoy it, I wanted to incorporate a little more excitement into our date nights. Thus I have created a date-night jar.

Here are most of the ideas that we have in ours:
Random Acts of Kindness

Game Night (you pick one, I pick one) + Dominos

Dessert Only

Stay at a Bed and Breakfast

Go geocaching
Irish Theme Night

Dinner at a fancy restaurant

Fondue Night
Go for a run/work-out

Do a 1,000 piece puzzle

Chick-flick or rom-com and popcorn
Go to the mall and pick out outfits for each other - have a fashion show in the fitting room!
Go camping
Go on a scavenger hunt
Mexican Theme Night
Take a drive
Build a house of cards
Sign-up for a class together (dancing, painting, etc.)

Shopping Spree
Go rollerskating or ice skating

$5 and 5mins each in the grocery store - whatever you get, you make and eat

Drive-In Movie date

IKEA Date

Go bowling
Italian Theme Night

Go to Cracker Barrel

Fast-Food Date (get one item from each local fast-food restaurant)

A few tips for those interested in making their own - color coordinate the choices based on cost/planning required and make sure you mark one side of the popsicle sticks so you know which ones you've done.

Enjoy!
