Viking history

January 17, 2008

On Thursday afternoons I pay bills, balance the checkbook and attend to financial matters. It is the one time during the week that the kids can watch TV (not including family movie nights). I've been renting educational DVDs from Netflix for this weekly TV time.

Right now we're studying Vikings & Medieval Norse culture so the kids are watching a Viking related DVD, minus all the violence (I hope). Brienne just ran downstairs very excited to tell me the vikings played chess - which Celine is learning to play and that the narrator just talked about "Eric the Leaf".

So some of the details are lost on her. She is only 5.
