Not sure what suburb! Can someone take the kids for a few hours that evening so you have time alone for the evening? Get some take out food, have your husband pick it up on the way home. Set the table with some nice candles and have a romantice dinner at home and pretend your away over night somewhere even if it is for a few hours.
If someone comes to babysit, there is a neat fondue restaurant in Arlington Heights and I think one in Schaumburg. There are also a few movie theaters opening in the are with love seats where they serve cocktails--pricey I'm sure, but for a 10 year anniversary could be cozy.
In Arlington Heights, their is the Metropolis theater. Don't know whats playing, but I've been to the theater for various plays. There is a good Italian and Spanish restaurant right downtown within walking distance.
