Playtime

One of the carrots I've used with the kids lately is playing Force Unleashed on the PS2. I had passed over this game a couple of years ago because I thought it would be too dark for Lily. It's still just as dark, but she can handle it now. Noah is completely nonplussed. We've almost finished the story, which has been fun. We are likely to go back through and see if we can find all the hidden stuff. It's also provided some good talking points with Lily as we see this character go from being a complete slave of Darth Vader to finding some independence and compassion.

The highlight of the evening was dessert. Amanda made a key lime pie with a meringue topping. We didn't have actual key limes, but the Sam's Club limes were just fine. It was good enough that Amanda even took a break from her daily chocolate to have this as her dessert instead.
