Hey guys!

I'm feeling refreshed today and ready to take on the TAC for this week!  You see, my kids spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa (THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!).  I had time this weekend to take care of all those little chores that pile up, consume my brain power and get in the way of me being totally present with the kids.  Not to mention I've been able to catch up with my blogging and Minti time.    

Jen and I had talked about maybe having a specific challenge each week that as a group we could try to tackle.  Here is my challenge for the week: to have a date night with one of the kids.  I used to do this more regularly but have fallen off the wagon.  I think I've blogged about this before, but my husband and I take turns taking the kids out on a date.  They each get a date once a month (when we are on track) with one of us.  The dates sometimes involve going to a movie, bowling, the mall or the library.  One of the favorites is a trip to the bookstore.  The car show is in town this week, so hubby is going to take the boy while I take the girl to go see Charlotte's Web.

So I challenge the rest of you to have a date with one of your kids this week.  Report back on your progress and the results!
