Yeah, Tuesday night is usually pretty good. Here's a fun fact: neither of these was being read by a grownup in the house.
I'm thinking of doing a Tuesday night series, but then you'll know the real truth about us.

Now that we have mostly dropped being read to, I think we need to pick up a Tuesday Night of our own.

Hmmm. Not really, I guess. Sometimes from the newspaper in the morning, but that’s not the same thing.

Mom of boys: my daughters are now 13 and 10.
