The Boxcar Children

Over the past week and a half the children, Mike, and I have devoured The Boxcar Children.  They LOVED the book and we sometimes read two or three chapters in a row.

After we started the book I discovered that the video was on Netflix.  I read a few reviews that all said it followed the book quite closely so last night we had a popcorn and movie night.  While I always think the book is better, the movie was quite good and did follow the book fairly accurately.
 Even Ameliya enjoyed the movie night.

We are trying to decide what to read next.  We have a pile of books that I've ordered so we have options...now to narrow it down!

Oh most excellent! We read this a while back and the kids loved it. This mama is feeling wiped (and it's only Tuesday!) so guess what we're going to do on this cold night? You guessed it--Casey's pizza and The Boxcar Children!

Thanks for sharing that tip! :)
