I was upstairs studying when I heard the uproarious laughter of children. I went downstairs and Sarah and Stephen were watching A Boy Named Charlie Brown, the first full-length Peanuts movie.
Charlie Brown was pitching, and every time the ball got hit it flew by him and made him fall down and all his clothes fly off. And every time it made the kids laugh so hard.
Stephen: Papa, Papa! Sit down! Watch this! This funny!

Drawing And Spelling
Sarah was sitting at the lunch table, drawing on her dry-erase placemat.
She drew a very convincing banana with yellow and black marker, then wrote BNANA next to it.
Then she drew a red tomato and wrote TMATO.
Next she drew a bunch of grapes, looking several times at a bunch of grapes sitting on the table.
Then she slowly wrote GRAP while sounding out each letter: Guh. Guh. Rrr. Rrr. Aye. Aye. Aye. Puh. Puh.
Then Mama corrected her spellings, and Sarah erased the pictures before I could get a photo.
