This is what I do as well. I've heard too many sad tales of seedlings damaged or lost completely by someone playing the in-and-out game while temps were still marginal and they forgot to get them in, weren't watching the weather closely enough, didn't get home in time, etc. etc.
Until I know they can safely stay out, even over night, they live in the basement under lights. For me, I know this is safer--I get distracted easily.
