being their entertainment

Chris was teaching our kids a lesson during family night last week about keeping a history.
He gave them many good suggestions for ways to record their lives and reasons why it might matter to them (and others) someday.
He told a story.
And then he pulled out something special.

I wrote about our discovery of these books a few years ago here.

But this was the first time we had really shared them with the kids.

And then it was time for bed.
We tried to herd the kids off to get pajamas on, etc.

But they had picked up our books and we just couldn't tear them away.

"At least TWO??? PLEASE????"
