Step #1: Manage to get both of the hooligans to sleep at the same time close to meal time!
Step #2: Lull the infant to sleep in the carrier and leave him there!
Step #3: Be available to be together! And be willing to be spontaneous!
Step #4: Enjoy being together! I sure love being with this handsome guy! Enjoy the peace & quiet and the ability to talk without interruption! 
Impossible as it may sound, Matt and I had a date this evening with all 3 of our kids! It was impromptu - which is probably the most essential element of such a date. When Matt left the flat he was on his way to the playground with two very ornery kiddos who didn't get a block away before they were both fast asleep in the stroller. He called me a few minutes later because he had a flat tire (on the stroller) and wanted me to come meet him with the pump. So I got dressed, packed Peter up and headed out the door. After getting the stroller running again we decided I'd join Matt at Starbucks since the kids were snoozing. We walked the 20 minutes jaunt and after gazing at the stairs leading up to our favored destination Matt got a little twinkle in his eye and suggested we go for dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, which was in the same building. So we made our way to the elevator at the secret entrance and headed up to CPK for our first dinner date since Peter arrived. CPK is actually affordable when you are only feeding 2. The kids slept the whole time and we had a great dinner and great conversation. I sure love my sweet husband!
