Kevin and I typically try to go on date nights pretty consistantly. When you have 3 kids that dominate the conversations in our home, sometimes this is the only way we can know what is going on each other's lives. We had an Outback gift card and Kevin had been waiting for the movie Defiance to come out, so Saturday we got a babysitter and had a few hours to ourselves.
4 Hours of Babysitting... $40.00
Dinner out (forgot to use the gift card!)....$48.oo
2 Movie Tickets...$15.00
A few hours of no baby spit-up, disciplining, interuptions, arguing or explaining...Priceless.
We did decide however that swapping babysitting with friends or using Grandma drastically changes the bottom line, but some things like growing and investing in your relationship with your spouse is far more important than our bank account!

So happy to read your last paragraph regarding your time together. Having lost Paul when he was so young really makes me happy that we had those years together when there were no kids at home. Hold on and cherish each other, Jen. You will never be sorry. The kids will leave and you and Kevin will be forever, with God's grace.
