Darren doesn't really think of redecorating as a date.  And maybe its not typical.  But, we needed some extended time without the kiddos to paint our bedroom.  And how else do you get a big block of time without toddlers running through your paint pans?  
We've lived in our house for almost three years and never gotten to really decorate our room.  I think I just concentrated on everything else because very few guests actually care what your bedrooms look like.  Anyhow, this weekend, I decided the white walls had to go, and talked Darren into going to dinner, shopping for a new comforter, and then painting our bedroom.  It took us about 8 hours, start to complete finish (stripping down the room, dinner out, target shopping, paint picking-out, painting, and putting furniture back).  We were tired when it was over... but now it looks fantastic!  I'm thankful for a husband who is willing to paint on a date.  :)

LOVE IT! I'm a big fan of purple, but Im pretty sure Drew would not help me paint that color! ;)
Jeremy would kill me if I painted our room purple! Haha.
Too funny you guys, he actually said he really likes it. :)
