TV Dinners

Today, Ethan finished up his reading lessons from Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons. For his reward, he wanted a TV dinner. My kids have never had these, but they have heard me tell them a story about them. When I was in 4th grade, I spent the night at a friend's house, and for dinner her mom took us to the grocery store to pick out our own TV dinners. I didn't know what a TV dinner was. I remember looking at the boxes and asking what that white square was (it was mashed potatoes!)
Since hearing that story, my kids have been curious about TV dinners. So we trekked out to Whole Foods after the boys had their hair cuts and picked out some gluten free TV dinners! To complete the whole concept of TV dinners, we watched TV- Little House on The Prairie!
In Reid Land, he is talking up a storm! He picked up a penny tonight (Ethan's money for fly swatting- flies have a one penny bounty in our house!) and said, "I need money too!"

Cowboy Cantina & Homemade Roller Skates

Yesterday morning, I went upstairs, and this is what I saw... Sydney said it was The Cowboy Cantina. All I have to say is she is a pretty good shot, thanks to lessons Ethan has given her!



And later in the day, Ethan decided to make his own roller skates! He rubberbanded his shoes to toy train blocks and skated around and busted! What a fun, creative boy!



More to come over the weekend!
