Brett went to scout camp a while back.  I thought it would be fun to plan a little date night for us at home after the kids went down for bed.  

I've been wanting to do a cheeseboard for a date for a while now, so I gathered up some ideas and went to town with the kids.  We kind of made a little outing out of it.  First we stopped by McDonald's and I let the kids get a kid's meal.  Then, we went to the grocery store and picked up some cheeses, meats, fruit, a baguette, and some chocolate.  It was nice not trying to cram a regular grocery shopping trip into this outing, and just taking our time picking out a few yummy things and then leaving.  The kids were still happy and still had full tummies by the time we left.

After the kids went down for bed that night, I just spent about 5 minutes--sprawling out the food on my butcher block board and spread a tablecloth on the ground in the living room.  Then we ate and talked and watched a show together.  It was so fun!  It also was delicious, required no cooking, and came together so fast.  Perfect date night!
