This week on The Kids Are In Bed, Tim and Jenni discuss their daughter starting kindergarten and how Tim sobbed as he packed her lunch before they launch into this week’s topic: 2018. They discuss some of the year’s most significant pop culture moments, what won the box office, and the Best Picture nominees briefly since they haven’t seen any of the movies. They discuss their obsession with Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” and “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. In 2018, the couple faced various challenges, including a medical emergency, difficulties with prescription medication, and a stressful eye surgery. They also appeared in a campaign ad for Senator Tina Smith and took trips to parks and football games. They moved to a new house, sold their old one, and prepared for the arrival of their second child. It turns out that moving while pregnant makes people busy. Despite the busyness and stress, they found joy in moments like the gender reveal and the Gophers winning the Axe. Overall, 2018 was a year of growth and change for the couple.
