Domestic Family Dining: Just the Two of Us

Just the Two of Us

Tonight, the two older kids went to a basketball game with Grandma and Grandpa. My husband arrived home shortly before they left. In the midst of a great amount of commotion involving lots of running, swords, walkie talkies, and me covering my ears, the idea of a quiet dinner came to mind. I thought it would be a great night to have the two youngest kids eat first, and then treat them to a movie. Then, during the movie, their dad and I could have a relatively quiet and uninterrupted meal . . . Just the Two of Us.

To my surprise, it worked!
