I couldn't get a Word in Edgewise!

Last night was the nicest time we have had in a long time. I credit my mother-in-law for sharing her recipe for cheeseburger soup. I wanted Gordon to enjoy dinner so I made it and then after dinner he went upstairs to play marble works with the boys. Of course the girls joined in and they had a blast. After we got the munchkins to bed Gordon did some dishes (yes it is true) and we played scrabble. Although Gordon got all the good letters, we had so much fun. (I got all the vowels) We did not watch TV, I think that I am finally growing up - I do not have time for it much anymore. If I could cocoon our lives and make every day like last night we would be the happiest family. I have been so nervous about homeschooling but I just keep thinking how much fun it will be and how important it is, for our family, to spend as much time together as possible. I want us to have fun together and I think we will be stronger this way. I am planning to let them have valentines day at school and take them out after that. We will be fine, together we can do anything!
