Taking it back to the old school.

We've been reading Anne of Green Gables this week. Michael and I take turns reading to the girls at night in different rooms. I forgot to tell him there are some tough words in the book..capricious, deprecate, predilection, ethereal, inculcate, epoch. We stutter a bit while reading, seriously funny stuff. I was smart enough to replace the words drunk and drunkenness with silly and silliness or there would have been a slew of questions.

At any rate, she's loving the book so much she wants red hair this week and loves pretending her sister is Diana.
