To Adam it didn't matter that they didn't have a huge house. Or that they didn't have lots of expensive things. Hell, some of their things weren't even new. They had to get gently used furniture when they started their life together. And it was expensive to replace them. But it was okay with him. Things didn't make a home. Family did and Adam thought he had great family. As long as he had Sarah and their kids, it didn't matter to him where they lived. As long as their kids were happy, then Adam was too. Even if there were days he wished they had more money. So he could provide his family with better things. Well, money came and went. Family was forever. That's what he always tried to remind himself.<br/><br/>Adam nodded his head. Thanks to the every changing work hours he did, he couldn't always be at home as much as he wanted. That left Sarah the one in charge of discipline. Which he thought she did a good job at. And he appreciated that she still let him have an input.<br/><br/>"That's good. He definitely still should be grounded. Hopefully, though, he'll remember that next time he shouldn't be the one throwing the first punch. If there is a next time."<br/><br/>Adam hoped there wasn't, but you knew. Kids would be kids and sadly some kids like to pick on other kids and make them feel bad. If it happened again, he just hoped that Ben would try to walk away. Or at least let the other kid throw the first punch, so he wouldn't be in as much trouble with the school.<br/><br/>Adam sighed happily when Sarah started to rub his back. While it would probably help them out if Sarah had a part time job, it didn't seem that feasible. Not with the price of child care. He didn't have a set schedule and it was hard to find one that did. They didn't have any close family near by that could be a set babysitter and babysitters were expensive. Honestly, the cost was something they couldn't afford. It was better for him to just work and for Sarah to stay home with the kids.<br/><br/>Adam grinned at Sarah's excitement. He would have days off but they usually would be during the week usually and not always together. It was a nice surprise to have an actual weekend off. When she suggested the zoo, he nodded his head.<br/><br/>"Yeah, let's go. It'll be fun."<br/><br/>He had always liked going to the zoo as a kid himself and he thought Maggie would like to go. Ben had liked it the last time they had taken him. He could hear Sarah yawning. He turned and gave her a kiss.<br/><br/>"We can talk more about it in the morning. You should get some sleep."<br/><br/>Adam wasn't quite ready to go to bed yet. It was hard to get home and go right to bed. He'd go watch a show on the TV quietly before joining his wife.
