you said a few posts back that your wife didn't like going out to many places etc and that it was hard to get her to go out something about babysitters etc etc
so why not have fun at home you and the kids set up a picnic in the lounge room bring in some plants or make some cardboard trees and birds and hang them around the place and when she walks in there you all are sitting on a blanket in the middle of the floor with the picnic basket
do something different create some silly fun it worked with the cheek lick come on get creative
