During the week, the kids are not allowed to watch television. Since both Daddy and I work, it just makes our evening go smoother without the distraction of television. Since today was Election Day, Daddy was able to pick up the kids early. They got their homework and reading done early so we broke the rules. 

Daddy put on “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” The kids loved it. I take that back. At the end of the movie a little boy eats this slice of cheese that has been outside for months. Gillian heard that the bullies wanted him to eat the cheese and she started to cry. She said “I remember everything. I don’t want to remember this. Why did he eat it?” She cried thru the end of the movie. I tucked her into bed and she was still crying. She kept saying “Why did he eat the cheese?” We explained to her that it isn’t real and if someone really dropped cheese then an animal would eat it before it sat on a playground for months. It didn’t work. She is still very upset. 

John, on the other hand, kept saying “I’m going to vomit.” But he does seem to like the characters and we may be able to finally convince him to read this book series.
