Great night at home

Hello all,

Tonight Jen and I didn't have anywhere to go for a change. It was nice to come home and relax with the kids and play some games. I cleaned up the basement while Jen entertained Ali and Zac with a puzzle game upstairs. I think the basement looks a little bit better now that most of the "stuff" is now in a place where it is off of the floor. The problem is that Ali and Zac will return to the basement tomorrow night and get it all out again....

After I finished cleaning, Jen and I walked for a while on the gazelle. I walked for a half hour while Jen walked close to two miles. She is such a trooper! I should have walked longer, but I had to officiate a fight between Ali and Zac over a toy. Once this dispute was over, I had lost my motivation to get back on and walk further.

Tomorrow night Jen has a massage which should be a nice change of pace for her. I know the last month has taken its toll and a little "mom time" is needed to recharge her batteries. My hope is to get the kids into an early bath tomorrow night ( 7:30 or so ) to get them to calm down faster. I don't know if it will work, but you never know until you try.

Well, I should stop writing and get going!
