But, it's not getting very far below freezing and as you pointed out, goes above freezing during the day. That may not even be enough to cause issues.
If it sits unused for any length of time, just blow out the lines, pretty easy and quick, which will give peace of mind.

My only fear is the kids. Four year old may struggle with that plan, but we can give it a shot.
I wonder if we cant leave the gray winterized, and just mess with the black. Use it, dump in, pour in antifreeze.. Thoughts? Am i missing anything?

To me, going thru the winterize/dewinterize protocol every week or so would eventually lead to a frozen pipe, due to me being too stupid to do it properly every time.
So I'm also in the "jugs of water for everything" crowd, and leave the plumbing winterized till it warms up. Toilet and black tank can work with pink stuff or windshield washer antifreeze, whatever is cheapest.You can heat water quickly on your stove top.

In Atlanta? I wouldn't think there is much of a winter.
We lived in Maryland. We waited until the first long hard freeze to winterize - as early as November or as late as January. We kept the tanks and water lines dry and put antifreeze in the traps. Our first season, we winterized/dewinterized four times(antifreeze in the entire system). It got old quick. But on those trips, we took drinking water in jugs.
