Family Night

John's school had a family night program tonight. John really really wanted to go. When I picked him up from school, he told me "I didn't do my homework in Time+." I told him that he needed to do all his homework if he wanted to go to back to school. This was perfect motivation.  He finished his homework in record time and we all went to school after dinner. 

The program/show was good. The kids really enjoyed it. The performer did magic tricks and told silly stories and had puppets. John saw his show earlier in the day with his classmates, but still laughed at all the silly jokes. Gillian really enjoyed it. Both kids tried to be volunteers and were disappointed when they weren't picked. They also tried to volunteer Daddy and I. 

In the car on our way home, they told us about their favorite part. Gillian said "I liked it when the birdie (a puppet) licked the candy cane. And the candy cane was from the potty (it turned out to be a plunger)!" She laughed when she told us about it. John said "I liked that part too! Cause he shouldn't have licked! But it would have been worse if he licked the bottom part. You know the part that goes IN the potty!" 

The show was fun, but it was more fun watching the kids' reactions. I also loved seeing John wave and talked to friends from his class or Time+.
