Please help me have a date night

[PrincessWatermelon]

I am aware this sounds silly, so please be kind!

My DH and I (married 13 years, 2 young DCs) haven't had enough time together recently due to general busyness and life. Although we're still affectionate on one level (plenty of hugs and passing kisses) and declarations of love, sex has been less than once a month. Tired, busy day, kids up, etc. For me, it's also become a bit of a mental block - I find it hard to switch into sex mood, iyswim. And we know this isn't healthy for us and we need to sort ourselves out.

So, tonight, I'd like to plan a proper good evening together. Which will ideally end in sex!!!

I'm not asking for the dirty details at all, but any suggestions of how to plan the evening? How to get in the mood? I'm at home with the DCs today whilst he's at work, so can organise things a bit.

Thanks

With my ExH we had a night once a week where we made an extra effort.
We'd plan and cook a meal together.
Eat and chat with a bit of music and some drink.
Play board games and have a laugh.
Then turn up the music and have a dance around the kitchen.
Then get a bit soppy with each other and 'retire' to the bedroom.
That was always our 'No TV' night.

We have 3 young dc. Our home can be chaos at times. My husband helps out around the home a lot after work and then he often has work to do from home or he's tired but he never complains. When I organize a date night I always make sure the house is tidy kids toys away and clutter out of sight. It probably sounds silly but it's like he can fully switch off.
