I came up with a dinner menu for the week, and a list of groceries that we needed in order to have said menu items. It should be noted that all items here are vegetarian. Sunday: Baked Ziti Monday: Chicken Nuggets Tuesday: Stew Wednesday: Chili Thursday: Stir Fry Friday: Fish & Chips Saturday: Pizza After…
I took the kids to see The Good Dinosaur this afternoon. It was good. I understand that many critics are giving it mediocre reviews. I think this is because they are comparing it to Inside Out, rather than letting it stand on its own merits. I had talked previously about Ciarán’s fear of a movie…
Surprisingly, only a couple of pictures, despite the Thanksgiving holiday. Earlier this week I caught Tevye “reading”. And yesterday I caught him getting the camera off the table.

We usually have the kids make their lunches for school the night before. It saves time and hassle in the morning. Ciárán, currently in 2nd grade, appears to be going through a growth spurt. Each night as he makes his lunch he asks if he can make himself a sandwich to eat. He just eats…
