http://www.learning-adventures.org/ A world of adventure. It has everything except Math. I have a brand new copy of the teacher manual and student pages if you're interested!

Ugh...:iagree: I went to "Dragon Tales Live". The only exciting thing that happened was when the two headed dinosaur fell off the stage. :lol::lol: Oh, and I took my kids to see G-Force. Seriously...some kids movies are genuinely clever...and then there are the rest of them.

My 22 month old didn't start talking until about 19 months...now she says EVERYTHING!!! She won't be quiet!

So, from my sig you can see we have 6 kids. Our littlest is 7 weeks old today. Dh is going in to get his snippy snip done on Friday. In my head I know this is the right thing for us. I can handle these six. I don't know if I could do anymore, although I've seen other women do it beautifully. However, my heart aches knowing we will be done with the baby stage. I can't believe that this is the last baby I'll ever have. We always knew we wanted 6, but thanks to a few surprises, we arrived here much sooner than we'd expected. I think my husband and I are both grieving the loss of the pregnancy/infant stage... So, for those of you who no longer have babies around the house, I'd LOVE to hear about how great it is now that you're no longer knee deep in bibs and daipers! No more potty training and sippy cups. I'm gonna love this next phase of life, right???

HAHAHAHAHAHA, i love it!!!

:iagree: Holy smokes!

:iagree: Yes, ALL my kids watch the show on occasion. I see no harm in it. Sure, their time could be spent doing better things, but I like to let my kids be kids sometimes. On the scale of violent kids shows...it's pretty tame.

Love ours!!! When we moved to our new house we were bummed because the faucet didn't pull out like our last house. Imagine our surprise when we discovered 4 months later that it actually DID! I was preparing to buy a new faucet just because I love the pull out feature so much. Can't go back!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ya know, I never thought about it! But I'm fine with them binging on the candy for a few days...it's the one time a year they get to.

We've done this before with cake mix cookies...devils food paired with rolos, snickers, junior mints...mmmm....

That's a lot of money to spend on something you don't love.

great answer nukeswife! I think I'll give this a try!

Tanuvasa is my last name. It's Samoan. Mama...cause I'm the mama around here!!! Yes, I realize it should be spelled momma but mama is faster to type when I'm already typing a's as it is!

:lurk5:

ooooh! Thanks for the share!!! you wouldn't happen to be in the Tampa area would you? We're still struggling to find other HSers!

It will be my first Thanksgiving away from my parents so I can hardly think about it with out tearing up. I'm thinking of inviting some friends over so it doesn't feel so lonely around here!

:iagree: Couldn't have said it better myself!

When I'm 40 my oldest will be 20 so hopefully grand babies will be just around the corner! Thats the stage I'm really looking forward to!

sorry to butt in...I'm new. What is CWP? I can't find the definition anywhere!

:bigear::lurk5::bigear:

This is just what I was considering today! Thanks for the question OP. I'd love to know what pages/games/drills you find helpful.

1-2 chicken breast 1 can black beans drained 1 can corn drained (although I prefer frozen) 1 1/2 salsa ( i just use the whole jar) put in crock pot, cook low 3 hrs take out chicken, shred it, put it back in and mix with all other ingredients. serve on tortillas with cheese and sour cream! YUM!!! I love this recipe because it's easy to make stretch just by adding more corn, beans or salsa. believe it or not, this feeds my family of 8!

I would try to have 4 controllers/nunchucks so that you can play together as a family. All ages can play wii sports and it's a really fun family game. Even grandma and grandpa play when we all get together! There are some simple girl games for your dd...any of the disney princess games. My boys LOVE mario galaxy, smash bros brawl and any of the lego games (lego starwars, batman, indiana jones..) I second the opinion about rechargable batteries/battery packs. You will burn through AA's!

:grouphug: I'm SO sorry you're going through this!

thanks! I'll go check them out.
