At Home Date Night

Since LO arrived going out on dates is less frequent... So I am hoping some of you will share your favorite ways to stay connected with your SO at home.
DH and I are going to pick a book to read together so we can talk about it in our own personal "book club".
What kinds of things are you ladies doing?

Re: At Home Date Night
We have also embraced lunch dates! Much easier to pull off!
@matthewmegan I also really like eating on our patio. I get so tired of feeling cooped up in the house! I want to try doing a fire in our little pit after LO goes to sleep and being the monitor.
It's tough to find time to bond with DH lately since he works an awful swing shift this month (mon tues 6 am - 2 pm, wed 2 pm-10pm, fri sat 10 pm-6am) and I work 9-5 mon-fri. most days he has to leave for work by 8:30 pm or be in bed to sleep by then, and LO doesn't go to bed until 8:30 so that doesn't leave time for mommy/daddy alone time.
yesterday though DH said screw sleep and just stayed up with me until 11pm. we sat in the hot tub and drank wine and talked. it was glorious! we don't have a baby monitor because the house is so small we never needed one, so we called each other and put the phones on speakerphone with one on mute so LO couldn't hear us but we could hear him and left one near his crib. it worked great. I think even if you don't have a hot tub it would be a lot of fun to do this in the bath tub (light some candles!) or even just have wine out on the porch swing. chill out, look at the stars
We also have lit the fire pit a few times. I've even put sleeping LO in his carrier and just worn him out there. this has been fun but not quite as fun since the mosquitoes are bad in the far back of the yard. maybe this fall will be better.
