the mountain

• We went for a little walk after dinner to get some milk and chips...you know...the essentials
• Katie, you were trying to teach George how to slide down the railing
• Every single one of you, since the time you were tiny, always climb up the side of the stairs on the little walkway up to Mariner.  It's so funny.  You all call it the mountain
• Lila, I asked you if you wanted to watch a movie tonight.  You were enthusiastic about the idea, and then exclaimed, "We need to call Auntie Georgia!!!  She needs to come and watch the movie with us."  So you got on the phone and invited her over.  I was impressed by your willingness to call her.  She was available and got here pretty quick.  We watched Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.  George and Lila, you didn't enjoy it very much.  The monsters were too scary.  George, you asked if you could go to bed.  Awesome!  Lila, you went into mommy's room and played Starfall on the iPad.  The rest of us enjoyed the movie immensely.
