["You Wouldn't Want To Be,..." online books]

Awesome! My son just loves this series.

[S/O - What do you prefer to be called? How do your children address adults?]

I was taught that all polite Southern children call adults "Mr/Miss First Name", and that's what my kids do. "Mrs. Last Name" is my mother-in-law ;).

[Movie--Iron Man??]

My 5 yo son has seen both Iron Man movies. He's completely oblivious to sexual innuendo, and groans during kissing scenes :). He just likes the superhero aspect.

My 5-year-old boy has enjoyed:

[Does anyone here use stylus for iPad/other touch screen?]

I have a Griffin and it works really well. I mostly use it with Penultimate and Goodreader.

[What kind of elliptical do you have?]

We have a Sole and we love it. The one we have was very highly rated on Consumer Reports and has a great warranty.

[Also need family Halloween themed or scary movies.]

Nightmare Before Christmas?

[S/O other great '80s movies?]

Better Off Dead and The Goonies. Classics.

[Hi there!]

I'm new here and wanted to say hello! My name is Liz and I live in NC. I am married with 2 kids (DS5 and DD1). After much deliberation, we sent DS off to PS K this year. The jury is still out on how well that is working out. For now we are afterschooling but may be full-time homeschoolers in the future. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you!
