I started strong Saturday morning in my quest to spent serious quality time with the kids. In the 8 o'clock hour I went to the boys' room with G and we talked about little guys (action figures).
We reminisced about our very first set of little guys, and I told him the tale of a dark and stormy night in early 2006, when we found ourselves in our fly minivan near a Once Upon A Child resale shop. I asked Jason if he would be willing to sit in the car with a 3-year-old and two 1-year-olds while I ran inside in search of some elusive piece of baby equipment. For whatever reason, he agreed.
As I was leaving the store, this fantastic castle (pictured below) caught my eye. It was paired with a bag of knights and skeleton soldiers and the like, and a horse-drawn cart. I snapped it up, and the moment we set it on the floor at home it was an instant favorite with the boys and Miss A.
Ah, what a merry tale.
In the 9 o'clock hour I played Starfall with Haney, and in the 10 o'clock hour I neglected the children but attended to my personal hygiene.
Then in the 11 o'clock hour I had a conversation with Miss A about the book she brought home from the elementary school library, which includes graphic (but perky) descriptions of medieval torture methods, as well as detailed summaries of modern serial killers' and mass murderers' methods. SERIOUSLY? And that will be the topic of my next post.

I'm guessing the book is from that 'Horrible Histories' collection? Ugh.
