Foreign Movies

I have always enjoyed movies and have watched many many movies.  Movies are an escape for me on an individual basis.  A way to get away from the crazy life that we live.  As a family we have often gone to movies together and it has been a good activity for us.

Recently I have gotten into watch foreign films, especially martial arts films.  I have to be honest I would rather read subtitles that watch a film dubbed in English.  I have found that the quality of the movies is remarkable with excellent coordination in the action sequences and amazing story lines. Recently I watched a movie called Shaolin.  It was excellent with a great story line and lots of great action.

I highly recommend you check it out.

Ten Apples Up on Top!

It has been awhile since I posted but tonight after I got done reading a book with my son Colin who is in Kindergarten I thought I would sit down for a moment and share.  Having four kids we have spent plenty of time with them over the years reading books, watching TV, playing games and so on.  But one book that has consistently been read by with all of my kids is Ten Apples Up On Top!

I personally think all of the Dr. Seuss books are great but this one has only a 75 word vocabulary so is easy to work with beginning readers.  If you have not read it with your kids I would strongly encourage you to invest in it.  I has been one we have enjoyed for at least 10 years now.

New School

Thanks for the post, Nora Howe

I’ve decided that I’m going to start sending my kid to a private school next year because I am getting fed up with the public school system in our town. I believe that my child is not getting the attention that she deserves and I know that by sending her to a private school she could get a better quality of education that would be based around sound moral teaching. Eventually, I hope that the public school system decides to start spending more money on our children’s education because I firmly believe that our kids are suffering. After I enroll my daughter at her new school I am going to start making some other changes around the house because I am sick of settling for things in my life. I am going to make some major upgrades to the back yard and the upstairs bedrooms. A friend of mine recently told me about dish packages now I know one more thing I will be upgrading.
