You can get by with two easily, but there will be an adjustment period. After a while, it won't be a big deal. My other thought is with all that land, you could always build an outhouse! :D If you love the house, go for it!

Ds's best bud spilled a ton of bbs when they were about 10 years ole. Best bud just turned 18... I'm still finding bbs occasionally! Where they come from at this point, I can't imagine.

I think the vinyl you linked is perfect for a bathroom. I have sheet vinyl in the bathrooms. I actually prefer it for the ease of cleaning. I don't like tile in bathrooms, because it gets slippery when wet, no matter what kind it is.

Dh would love that! But I don't do seafood, so he would have to order that somewhere other than my kitchen. :D

I loved this one! It should have been more than a semi-finalist. One note, though. I think that should have been an "e-pad" instead of an ipad! I have to wonder about the people that make these. How do they have the time to do it!

Sometimes you get the best food from food trucks, but French Fries in crepes? No, thank you!

Those were cute!

Clean, folded clothes they couldn't bother to put away, and they fell off the bed. Cat hair (because it's shedding season) cat puke/hairballs (because it's shedding season) the mail that the kids throw on some surface and the cats knock on to the floor. towels

No fussier than regular crepes. The first batch I made was a bit thick, and I had to play with it a bit. The second batch I think I used 3 eggs, 2 cups milk, 3 Tbs butter, and 1 cup of gf flour blend (I used the Namaste Perfect Flour Blend). I refrigerated it for a couple of hours while I ran errands, and it came out perfect.

Just a word of caution about dial. Soap scents don't bother me at all, except for dial. Can not be in the same room with dial.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! Huge favorite with my kids. I love that book. And of course, their is always the classic The Little Engine That Could. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel was a favorite from my childhood.

What is my daughter doing at your house? Every towel we own ends up on her bed or floor w/ in 24 hours of washing/folding/putting away. And hand towels wouldn't be an option, all of mine seem to have disappeared. Well, I think I might have 4 left. I used to have 2 large stacks. I can't imagine what they have done with those!

Stargate, Quantum Leap, and Sliders were all excellent shows!

Definitely a teen hangout/designated sleepover room type thing. I have three teens, and no place for them to hang out, other than their rooms, or our small living room. If they are in the living room, dh and I have no place to watch tv, or sit and surf the net. I've been trying to get them to help me clean out and organize the garage, so they have someplace to go. I would love to have that space!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you! We had this for supper tonight. I cut the spinach in half, and added cooked shredded chicken. My family is in heaven!

Well, I agree w/ your son, but I see your point. I would have him find a few more sources, and use more examples to back up his findings. Not new information, just more evidence. I would also look into the IEW History units, and focus on using the word lists to make sentences longer.. in other words, make his sentences a little more flowery, to take up more space. (Yuck, blech, ick, but sometimes it has to be done.)

If anyone gives you flack about other vaccinations, just be firm, and state over and over, "No, thank you. We only want xyz right now." Just an FYI, Walgreens does file through your insurance, but they do have to be above a certain age, and only do certain ones. I took my dds there for tetnus booster and meningitis. It was free because I had insurance, but I think they had to be at least 12?

Geez! Hope you feel better soon, and can escape the boundary challenged nurse. Sending good thought for fast healing!

I have to agree w/ others, that it was probably either the lady that asked if you would give up one of your children, or the one who wanted one of your children. Those ladies are insane, and were probably hoping to get your children through foster care. Let us know what happens when you talk to the pastor.. pay close attention to his reaction (don't leave your dh to speak to him alone..be there to gauge his reaction. That will also let you know if his wife was involved. But I doubt she was)

It's times like this, that we need a like button on moderator posts. :D

Hugs, Hugs, and more hugs! That is scary and awful! Is there anyone who commented on them, or has given you reason to think it would be them? Ugh. I don't know that I would leave necessarily, but I would be leary and watchful. When my son attended preschool at a local church, one we were attending at the time, they were always looking for abuse signs. He decided to play Tarzan one day, and climbed furniture to reach the blind cord up at the top of the window, and grabbed ahold of it and jumped.. resulting in a tiny rope burn across part of his neck. The teacher and director marched him to the pastor's office wanting to call cps.. he laughed in their face. Luckily, he had enough brains to know that little boys (and girls) do these things.. and this was the same teacher who didn't understand why my son was always climbing out the playhouse window (a foot and a half off the ground), and trying to jump off the playscape... they KNEW he was an "adventurous" kid. They also freaked out because his favorite color was black (a sure sign of abuse, right?) So I said, "Did you ever ask him why his favorite color is black?" His answer: "Because black has all the colors of the rainbow in it, all mixed together." :D (sweet boy!)

I agree w/ you about the Duggars. I keep hoping those girls can escape that life. I also see the parallel w/ the FDLS and Warren Jeffs. I've been thinking about them since this thread started. It's all very creepy and sad.

So happy for you! That's awesome!

So don't suggest it, just do it. They will love you for it, and then blame you for not having made them before!

I told ds 17 I wasn't doing baskets this year. He made a pouty face and said "No candy?" So they are getting a chocolate bunny, some miniture butterfingers, and mini peanut butter eggs, and they each get 4 cascarones. For those that don't know what cascarones are, they are emptied eggshells, dyed, and filled w/ confetti, for smashing on peoples heads. Never trust a child that says "Hey mom, could you come outside for a minute?"!
