Renai! How are you? Haven't seen Dancer in a loooong time. How is she and Baby Dancer doing?

I was thinking the same thing when you said 8lbs because all mine were 8lbs and change. 😂

Same here. On Android phone. Glad to know it's not just me.

Next time I have to do this, I'm asking for the infants version. They just swab in a circle the lower part of each nostril and test is done in 10 mins at the Dr office.

Pretty sure I have plenty of weeds buried under the snow outside, but they do not tumble. I've never seen an actual tumble weed IRL. That would be so cool!

Thankyou @ikslo for mentioning making homemade marshmallows for science a while back. Oldest and I made some yesterday out of maple syrup. Delicious!

Snow cream 😋

Cold doesn't bother me that much unless I have to go out in it. I stay indoors and bake/cook all the things and experiment with new recipes. I may need to replace this tradition/habit because it is NOT helping me lose the extra 20lbs+ that I've acquired over the last 3 years. Of course, having 2 more babies inside of 2 years at my age had nothing to do with it. 😉

Morning all! I posted a topic on K-8 but can't remember how to link it over here, if any of you are so inclined to make recommendations. Thanks.

There seems to be a TON of stuff on YouTube. If you know of a good one so I don't have to sit down and sift through a whole slew of them, I would appreciate some recs. Nothing too babyish, but certainly nothing overly violent please.

Rod and Staff. Simple workbook that reminds them of phonics/spelling rules as they progress through the book. 1 lesson per week and you can choose whether or not to test them at the end of each lesson/week.

I ordered 3 new books for Oldest. I think I'm going to pre read Eleven by Tom Rogers since it's technically a YA.

Whoever designed and decided on the dimensions of these kick and play piano mats with the toy bar overhead did not account for Newbie the Giant. He's as tall as the mat is long and thinks he's supposed to uproot the toy bar and chew on the end piece.

I haven't heard of this before but it sounds awesome!

"We're marching to Zion Beautiful, beautiful Zion We're marching upward to Zion The beautiful city of God!" I started singing this in my head as soon as I read your post. Happy New Year All!
