As I stay home with our two boys now, I really do know how nice it is to get out of the house every now and again. It's lovely that you're older kids are able to watch the younger ones. I'm with you on playing Wii as well. Gwynn and I have so much fun with it, although we haven't played in ages...maybe we'll put that on the short list for our next night out at home. @ Steve and Jaxon – You guys are great! :)

Thank you. Our situation is a little different though: I work from home, and my wife homeschools the younger kids (who are 15 and 8 years old). We're already at home a lot. So when we do have a night out, we tend to want to leave the house. Of course it helps that the older kids (who are 19 and 17) can also babysit the younger ones. There are still some nights, though, when we either don't want to spend the money, or are just too tired to go out. On those nights, we'll usually do a movie and popcorn, or play on the Wii. Thanks, again, Sherri! <abbr><em>Michael’s last blog post..<a href="http://lovetospare.com/2009/02/27/how-to-give-unwanted-advice/" rel="nofollow">How to Give Unwanted Advice</a></abbr></em> Sherri, this is really great advice.

There's something special about it being -30C outside, dark and you're inside under a blanket sitting by a fire...it's just lovely! @ Steve - we're right there with ya. 8pm the boys are down for sure and then we have the rest of the night to ourselves...I usually make it until 9:30 WOW eh? But it's something :) @Roger - Good point, you don't have access to the pause button at the theater! We like staying in not only because it's more frugal (definite plus) but it's just a lot more comfortable as well! :) Oh and we've just started watching Blue's Clues with our eldest and having seen both Steve and Joe I have to say, I kinda like Joe. *ducks!* :) @Jaxon – beer’s good too! :) We had a fire place in our old house and oh how we miss it!
