Tonight we ate pizza in the living room and watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I know. It doesn’t sound that exciting. But it was. John was super excited to see all the characters that we have read about come to life. He jumped on the couch when he was excited and hid his… Continue reading Family movie

The past couple of nights have been typical. Pick the kids up from school, go home, eat dinner, do homework, bathtime and bedtime. The only thing out of the ordinary is that we have given Gillian a workbook to do while John was working on homework. The book has tracing, letters and shapes in it.… Continue reading Gillian homework
