Family Season
Our family. Our evenings. Our stories.
1. Theme of the month
October
Spider-Man Month
How it went
Whose Spider-Man turned out to be ours?
— We watched the 2000s trilogy three evenings running and argued about the scariest villain. — Lisa fell asleep halfway through the second film and demanded the whole plot at breakfast. — Alex climbed the hallway wall and brought down the coat rack: the suit was a bedsheet. — On the last evening everyone picked their own: three of us agreed, Dad held his ground.

Ideas for next month
— Board game month: a new game every Friday, the winner picks dessert. — A walk in the woods for mushrooms, with a thermos and sandwiches in the backpack. — Put together a photo album for the month and caption every picture by hand. — Bake grandma's pie — all of us together, no hints.
