We need hobbies!

Last night was a normal night.  We ate dinner, played with Leah, and then put Leah to bed.  Each of us settled onto our respective couches ready to watch whatever our PVR recorded for new TV.   To our horror, there were no new shows on last night.  None that we watch anyway.  After a few minutes of channel surfing Dave turned to me and said "can I play games on your phone there's nothing on."  I threw it to him and thought to myself, there must be something on we have 200ish channels what do you mean there is nothing on.  He was right there was nothing on.  


So I thought, out loud, we need hobbies.  We are so reliant that there will be something on TV for us to watch in the evenings that we are becoming dependent on it to entertain us.  We could play cards, read (which I do but Dave doesn't), find a video game to play together...  Something.  I would like to think that between my new running program with Breanna, yoga with Katie, and up coming work that I won't find myself in this position again.  But, lately, I have often come home to or find Dave sitting and playing games on my phone as there is nothing on and he doesn't know what to do with himself.  I wonder what hobbies are out there that we could do together to fill the voids?  I am sure once I go back to work this problem will solve itself more or less as there will be household chores to be completed in the evening.  But I do still think that it will be helpful to have hobbies.
