John took the kids skiing today at Buck Hill. They are both getting better and better!

Late this afternoon the kids watched the classic 1971 version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for the first time, wrestled, and ran their 2-floor obstacle course again.

NT and I read through an entire kid-friendly cookbook and wrote down all the recipes that sounded good to him so we can make a menu for next week that he will not complain about, and we organized his room and culled some of his books.

This evening NT and John had a Cub Scout meeting. They made a collage food pyramid and NT is only 6 beads away from his Tiger Cub Badge!

Tonight NT and John are watching PBS's NOVA on evolution...not sure NT will be able to stay awake for the whole thing, but he is fascinated!
