Came to say the same. Black bears are no big deal.

I feel SO very blessed.

Here’s my cutie trying to blow a dandelion puffball.

I private messaged Ann a few months back or so. She is doing well. She just hadn’t been on in a while. Yes, I think my boy and the twins were born maybe the same week or so. He’s such a joy. He’s in one of my favorite stages! I’m enjoying most every moment. It’s hilarious the things he gets into. All 6 of us can be watching and he still manages to get into mischief constantly. lol Just recently he threw an old flip phone that my girls play pretend with into our toilet and one of the kids flushed it. It clogged everything up. Dh had to take the whole toilet off to get it out. The other 4 never did stuff this crazy. He throws and kicks everything. I think we may have an athlete in our not athletic family. He loves playing outside. When I bring him in he gets SO mad and screams and cries, but generally he is such a calm toddler as far as crying and screaming. He’s always into something, but he is calm. On his first birthday, his favorite part was when we sang happy birthday. His face lit up and he looked so proud. He didn’t care much for his cake, but he dipped his finger in and fed it to dh and dd. It was so sweet. He gives the tightest hugs and the sweetest kisses. He adores our Australian Shepherd and gives her hugs. That’s all for now because he finished eating and needs a bath. ETA I keep thinking of cute things. He’s sitting through #4’s phonics lessons so when he holds a book he points to the words and makes the t sound. lol

Oh yeah, my short 12 year old was outraged by Bluey in the front seat. lol

Oh no! What made you angry? My kids watched, but I only half listened.

Thank God. I didn’t even have the words before the update. That is wonderful. Keep us updated.

So mine are 1.5, 2.5, 2.5 and then 5 years apart. I was very worried about this age gap, but my older 4 are crazy over their little brother especially the youngest one. She acts like a second mother to him and we sure don’t ask her to. It has went very well. I am on the fence about giving him a close sibling. I know he will be fine either way.

I hate curse words on signs and shirts. I have a bit of a potty mouth at times even around my kids, but I don’t subject others to it in any way.

Not a bit offended. I’m super introverted and have a small circle of people. SO if I am staying with someone, I’d 💯 do anything they asked me without a second thought. Cause I’d do anything for someone I’m close with and I wouldn’t stay somewhere I wasn’t super close with the people.

Wow! I can’t even believe coffee could cost that much! Also, I have never had Starbucks.

Yeah that’s the tricky part, I don’t have the room to keep unless it is truly awesome. I may ask my mom. She entertains and has a lot of storage.

My mother in law gave me this today https://www.ebay.com/itm/285791094691?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOorK5wqgvt_dd1a91YbRABh_ksN6bYu_IBbkVLT0LFCwBXLTldyZ9gM&com_cvv=d30042528f072ba8a22b19c81250437cd47a2f30330f0ed03551c4efdaf3409e I’m not sure if it’s something I would use. If you are familiar with this cookware tell why I should or should not give it shot. I mostly just use iron skillets.

I avoid the interstate always. Give me curvy mountain roads any day. Oh and I do 2, but mostly make some one else drive.

Same! I just asked my 12 year old if I learned any new facts recently.
