Jackson Fun
Now that I’m not teaching during the week, I don’t have to sleep all day on Saturdays. We are now using the time for more fun ventures! Last week we eased in by seeing Iron Man (awesome!!) and eating two large tubs of popcorn followed by a paper tower challenge that we have been giving…
