Another Snow Day!

and I decided to stay home all day for a special family day since as Kendall pointed out that we are never home during the week together. He slept in, watched TV I will say I have had enough of SpongeBob SquarePants!), sledded with Ty, played Jenga Tetris and Steeplechase horse games, practiced sight words and read about dirt bikes. Today is Ty's birthday - Feliz Cumpleanos!

We saw a few movies - The Wizard and Cop and 1/2.  The a Wizard was a very good movie -  Jimmy Woodsnis a young boy who has suffered from an unnamed, but serious mental disorder (presumed to be autism) ever since his twin sister Jennifer drowned in the Green River two years earlier. He does not interact with anyone, spending most of his time building things out of blocks or boxes, and he always carries his lunch box with him. He is determined to go to "California", at first nearly the only word he can say since the tragedy. The trauma of the drowning and Jimmy's condition have broken up his family; he lives with his mother Christine Bateman and stepfather, while his brothers Corey and Nick live with their father Sam, When Jimmy is put into an institution,Corey breaks him out and runs away with him to California. Christine and her husband hire Putnam, a greedy and sleazy runaway-child bounty hunter, to bring back only Jimmy; he competes with Sam and Nick to find the boys, and both groups sabotage each other's efforts. They meet á girl and three head to California for a Video Championship.  Jimmy ends up the winner once they get there. Cop and 1/2 is about Devon Butler, an eight-year old, who dreams of being a cop. He watches police TV shows, knows police procedures, and plays cops and robbers with his friend Ray. One day, while snooping around in a warehouse, he witnesses a murder. He goes to the police, who want the information, but won't get it until they make Devon a cop. The police then team him with veteran cop (and child hater) Nick McKenna, and the two team up in comic series of events to find the killer.

Kendall chatted with Kevin for a bit tonight. We are watching Journey to the Center of the Earth TV Mini-series.

Buenas noches!
