Got a junk yard nearby? Get that Sears tool kit, let him loose in the junk yard and build something.
My dad once saw a bicycle and decided he wanted one. He scrounged parts together and built his very own bicycle....at age 6.

Also :bigear: , we are interested in trying LoF K for summer fun.

What if you live in an urban environment and you don't have a car?
Then I probably would have been rather close to home and would have just went back home to change the diaper. Or went to a discrete spot and changed the diaper in the stroller (which I've done IRL at the playground, softball games, etc). I've even rolled the stroller into the big stall in the bathroom and changed the diaper in the stroller.

. HOWEVER, we are wondering if it would be legal to find another long bench seat and put a long bench in the middle AND in the back. We called the dealer and he said because our van is so old (*cough* 2000...) we would have to look in junk yards. I don't know how likely it is we'd find one anyway, but IF we could find this seat that would fit in our van, would this be against safety regulations? Illegal? Invalidate our car insurance? Where the heck can I find this out?
TIA!
Honestly, I would be asking the DMV or police department for the legality of this. Then your insurance company for your insurance concerns.

In a situation like that, I would have went out to our van to change the diaper. NEVER in a restaurant.

We go light during the summer. Continue with reading and interest based - which is math and science here. Just little fun lessons, nothing huge. Sometimes I'll purchase a unit study to work through for since. I plan on going through LoF Kidneys for our math summer fun.

Small girl: terrified of bugs - you'd think someone is torturing her and it takes a while to calm her down if one gets on her.
She is a neat freak. She can't leave a bottle tipped over or something not in place.
Over the top emotions.
Big girl: Not a fan of loud sounds either.
Doesn't sleep much, I thought she was getting at least 9 hours a night but now I think it's much less.
Always asking how and why of things...I can't keep up.
Both: Both have the psychomotor OE - non stop energy from the second they get up (very early) to the moment they go to bed. Always fidgeting and flopping around. We have to do a "mandatory sit down and watch TV" time when I just can't take it anymore!! And I thought being outside would wear them out....nope, not at all.

Have you checked out the Challenging Word Problem or Intensive Practice books that go along with SM?

Well, Day #1 of Operation Early Riser is a bust. I forgot that the baby often wakes up at 6:00. I don't know if I can pull off 5:00, you guys. That sounds insane to me.
I don't think 5am is insane!! It's perfectly sane!! :laugh:
But I think if you aren't used to it and are not a morning person, you aren't going to magically wake up at 5am for the first time with bells on! Try to ease into it. Set your alarm for 15 minutes before you would normally wake up, then keep up with those intervals until you are at your desired earlier time.

I don't know what kind of learner your ds is but math did not come easy to me and I needed a very sequential approach.
I previewed Math in Focus and to me, it gave a step by step lesson to each concept. Granted I only looked at the younger grades, I felt that this would have worked for me if I were back in school.
-
I wake up about 5am every morning and my girls get up between 5:30/5:45am.
Fortunately, my body adapts well to change! I "trained" myself to be a morning person in college. I scheduled as many early classes as I could. Then I would set my alarm and put it ACROSS the room so I would HAVE to get up to turn it off. It's way too easy to hit snooze and go back to bed when the clock is right next to the bed. But when it's across the room, you are up!

#1 all time = Pinocchio! Horrible themes imo.
And Junie B Jones and Ready Freddy! Too much name calling and snotty behavior.

We need to do 180 days and I think we are around 160-165.

I use a lot of the same foods but in different combinations when feeding the girls. Some examples:
eggs, turkey bacon, toast (sometimes with butter and other times with peanut butter)
eggs, turkey bacon, bagel (each girl gets a half and sometimes buttered or with peanut butter)
bagel half, yogurt with fruit topped, turkey bacon
homemade Denny's Breakfast slam - eggs, turkey bacon, pancakes
pancakes alone or smaller pancake portion with fruit side or turkey bacon
frozen waffles with a side of fruit or turkey bacon
eggs, turkey bacon, banana
French toast alone or smaller portion with turkey bacon or fruit side
Sometimes I subsititute an English muffin for the carb. I don't feed them cereal often for breakfast but if I do, I give a side of berries for them to add themselves.
I personally eat a protein bar and coffee every morning.

Do you wake your children?
No! I never have to wake my children, they are up each morning between 5:30 and 6am. Not matter what! They haven't napped for years but we do a daily "quiet time" after lunch for about an hour.
Hope you can find something that works for you!!

Summer is light and not daily. We do keep up with reading and usually do math/science stuff.
-
I thought I wasn't going to like Sonlight but then loved it when we tried it. I was very happy with P3/4, Core D and Sonlight Science A. We just worked on the Core materials with D, not the Bible or LA.
I'm seriously considering P4/5 for my small girl next fall.

We used to look at the condition of the applicant's car. It seemed to be a pretty good indicator of cleanliness and stability. It didn't have to be a new and shiny car, just clean and well kept.
That seemed to be a pretty good predictor.
My parents (who have rented for 45+ years) always mention this to newbie landlords.
-
I would do a police report and a credit check. References? That seems like a waste. Who is going to give you the reference to someone who will say something bad about them?
That's why you ask for the prior landlord's information. And if it is less than 6 months, the landlord before this.
-
Did they follow the rules and regulations? What condition did they leave the property in? Would you rent to them again? Were they honest? What were your biggest issues with them?

Family's young kids running wild in neighborhood, trespassing in yards

LOL! That's like feeding the stray neighborhood cat once and expecting it to never return! Those kids will return and return and return over and over and over again. They are small kids! They won't remember all of the explanation much less reason amongst themselves as to when "every once in a while" is!
Then the OP will have to start another thread asking advice on how to gently get rid of them!!
