Between the Lines

Amanda recently discovered that Lily's door had been tagged with her name in ink. Amanda came up with a good idea for a consequence. Lily had to write lines last night. Specifically, she had to write "Ink goes on paper" 20 times. It took her a while and she certainly didn't enjoy it, but we hope that she got the message. Of course, she also has to clean the ink off of her door, but the magic eraser should do the trick for that.

Noah has added a new word to his repertoire. According to Amanda, he said "apple" yesterday while they were enjoying a fruit cup at Chick Fil-A. The bad news is that he had a very rough night last night. Amanda thinks he is getting a cold. He was very snotty and very needy. Amanda did make it out to run this morning though.

I managed to put the homework on hold for one night so Amanda and I could watch Fireproof together. It was hard to watch for a couple of reasons. One is that it is not the best movie ever made. It's not terrible, but not the greatest acting or directing. The more significant reason is that it reminded me too much of what a selfish jerk I used to be and still can be. However, for that reason alone I think it should be mandatory viewing for all married couples. It is a great reminder that love is more of an action than a feeling, which is a reminder that I need frequently.
