It's a hoot if you're watching it with us, but if you're just listening- all you're going to hear is us breathing a lot and it won't make sense. Especially when Ben explains all of Edwards weird expressions being the result of an eternal struggle with puberty. We learn: Ben is inching closer to a romantic relation...

This week we finish Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. And we give up- it’s just too annoying.

This week we read Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. Again. And we’re both pretty sick of this book. We agree we’re not reading any more of them after this, and Ben’s impression of Ana is AMAZING. We learn: It’s Ben’s birthday! And he blows my surprise by telling everyone before I can. Glen's birdhouse kills birds Gretchen has a backyard ‘Ben’s Birthday’ blast for us Ben’s knee looks disgusting...

The kids keep an eye on the “spaniard” and “Injun Joe” for a few days then Becky Thatcher comes back! So Tom pretty much forgets about the murderer and the gold to go hit on her.

This week we read Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James, and boy it’s ‘warm and husky like dark melted chocolate fudge caramel…or something’. That’s actually a quote from the book. We learn: Gretchen has been sitting on a mountain of material while we were out Ben is ‘free now’, whatever that means Glen is trying to get crows to eat his bacon Also- this is what Glen thinks Christian Grey’s hands loo...
