Matt and I had a date tonight and for the first time we left the kids home alone without a sitter for about 6 hours. We came home to the dishes done and the living room cleaned up, per Mom and Dad's orders. Honestly, it felt weird to come home to everything being normal. I half expected tattling from each of them. Nope, nothing. When I called them after the movie to check on them, I was informed that they were done with chores and starting to watch Narnia. Sweet! No disasters, no fighting, and chores done. Can't ask for anything better than that!
Oh, by the way, we went and saw the movie "The Amazing Spider-Man" It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was better or worse than the Toby McGuire Spider-Man movie. They each have their unique charm.
