From about 18-22ish, I loooooved going to clubs that played hip hop music. I wasn't much of a drinker but loved to dance. Heck, it was at one of these clubs that I won two sets of "Meet and Greet" tickets to see Boyz II Men!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (MissKNG screams like a school girl!)

Honestly, I rather have "wild", super, super, duper, duper active kids instead of kids that sit on the couch all day.

Singapore IP and Challenging Word Problem books are a hit!

As another mom of 2 girls with "super high energy levels", I'd have to say: How rude! (in my best Stephanie from Full House voice...)
She was being mean about it too. I don't go out of my way to speak to her. It's not a nice relationship between us. She got offended when another friend and I went out to lunch without her. That is her excuse for not liking me.

My neighbor (right next door) told me that my girls were "not normal" because of their super high energy levels. So I feel for ya.

Some people do not allow any paranormal or magical elements in their children's reading due to Biblical decrees against witchcraft.
I would agree with this and it's probably that parent's personal conviction too.

I voted Kindergarten. BUT it "counts" legally when I have to officially report to the state.

Yes to both questions.

Any of the "known" towns in Adirondacks are great! Lake George is really nice and we loved this place http://www.comfortsuites.com/hotel-lake_george-new_york-NY284
Old Forge and Lake Placid are great too. We stayed at the Courtyard Lake Placid and loved it.

I interact with my girls A LOT but I don't usually pretend play with them. My girls are up for 14-16 hours a day too so we are very busy.
I am slightly jilted by the "me me me chat" comment. Really? We are stay at home mom's who (for the most part) home school. I gave up a terrific career, I don't buy myself anything really special nor really spend any money on myself, I RARELY go out with friends, etc, etc, etc to stay home with my children because we believe this is the BEST thing to do for them. How is that "me me me"? If I need a few minutes to myself to do something and that requires me to say "no, not now" to the girls (keep in mind they are up 14-16 hours), how is the "me me me"? Sorry, I know all families are different but I fail to see how being a stay at home mom who also home schools is "me me me".

I went to Israel in March 2003 and was there when the US attacked Iraq. We were perfectly safe! Is he going to Yad Hashmona by chance? It's a moshav outside of Jerusalem.
ETA: I was there for three months on this trip and never ONCE felt afraid!

My mathematically gifted big girl enjoys Penrose the Mathematical Cat books.

I've always loved CTC Math Reasoning books! They are very pricey though. They are a nice supplement.

I don't even know what capers are!

Bleeding...I was in real labor when I started bleeding and cramping (turned into contractions).
With my big girl, my water broke and I was induced. With my small girl, I started to feel like I was cramping first, then I started bleeding and cramping and the cramps turned into contractions.

Me either until recently! You join, post your stuff with pictures and people in your area contact you if they are interested. It's easy. Most people come to your home for the item too.

Do you have facebook? I've sold a TON of things through local "virtual" yard sale groups.

Where did you see the jr notebook?

Hmm...not losing any sleep over this news...

Thanks! I don't know how to search groups, which is why I asked for the link!
-
I was looking at this too. The homeschool store I usually purchase from didn't have the notebooks or lab kit though, just the text. Technically I already have too much for this year but it looks wonderful. I think I will have to force myself to wait until next year though before indulging in buying it.
The notebooks aren't coming out until mid-September. I'm going to wait until then to purchase since we have an Astronomy Unit to go through first!
-
Thank you! May I ask for a link to the fb group?
-
I am very excited that this came out and my big girl did a cartwheel! After our Astronomy unit, I would like to purchase and begin this program. The online samples looked great and I like how the Junior Notebook looks too!
Has anyone started or purchased it? Impressions?

You can make a bunch of breakfast sandwiches pretty cheaply and have them wrapped and ready to go in the fridge.
Two bags of English muffins $2
That big flat of medium eggs $3
Two American sliced cheese blocks $4
About $10 and you can make 16 breakfast sandwiches. These are prices from Save A Lot (like Aldis).
And if I have leftover meat (ham, chicken) or veggies (pepper, onions), I tossed that into the eggs for the sandwiches. No need to waste small amounts of leftovers.
How can I know if my children are gifted?

Do you have a college or university nearby? Often times, Psychology students administer IQ testing as part of their class (with a trained professor by their side). It's generally a lot cheaper that way except it won't be "official".
