In the dog house
June 4, 2009
We watched the movie Bolt this past weekend. The kids are actually watching it again right now for the third time before we return it to the video store. It's such a cute movie, definitely recommend it. I'm not a "dog person" (that's not our dog up there, that's TD ...
Reading with my boy
June 4, 2009
His sisters were downstairs in the living room. One asleep, taking an unexpected afternoon nap on the couch. The other cruising her way through a chapter book, thoroughly engrossed. But he and I were snuggled together on my bed. Reading about snakes, weasels and stone wall dragons. I love this ...

Although I have to say my son has elevated pond study to scientific discipline in and ...
