Life in the 1500s

The Weekend Eudemon

Ah, the blessed weekend. It's the last blast for the Scheske kids before school starts on Monday. To celebrate the end of the summer, we took the kids swimming and out to dinner last night. We then came back and watched the movie, Tremors. Eric bought the VHS
