Smokey Point is growing like crazy! I live just about half an hour north.
-
I will be in Lacey on June 7th. We have family there. Would love to get together for a coffee or something!
-
This area is about half hour/ forty five minutes from our house. We like to take drives in the summer and have driven that road many times. I know people that are waiting to hear about loved ones. This is quite devastating and sad. They have the National Guard and FEMA now to help. I am afraid that it is pretty much a recovery mission now.
-
I live about 45 minutes north of Everett. I would recommend looking north of Marysville. Lovely area and not a bad commute!
-
Ahhhhhh! I just had to go to Youtube and listened to the song! Just for kicks and giggles!
-
We are going to the 10am showing tomorrow. I would much rather make them wait, but it seems like cruel and unusual punishment. Then again, the 13yo thinks having to get up early on a Sunday is cruel and unusual punishment, but she will have to get over it. Here if you go before 12pm the tickets are only $5.50. Did you guys see 2D or 3D? Did you feel that 3D would make it better?
I went to the 2D as I don't enjoy the 3D as much. Our theater is 6.50 before noon. I miss when it used to be 4 dollars before noon!

So you'd think it is age appropriate for a 5 yo? I briefly glanced at the reviews, and it said PG? DH wants to take DS9, and I wasn't sure whether DD5 should go with them or no.
Yes, there is action and cartoon type violence. My four year old sat spellbound. He is big into Lego!
-
Anyone go see the Lego Movie? I took my four year old ds this morning. What a fun, well done movie! I laughed quite a bit! He loved it, too!
-
Filed and waiting for them to process it. Our refund is taking us to Disneyland!
-
We are going to a pot luck party at our church so a variety of thing!
We are bringing a big pot of baked beans. And for ourselves Skittles to snack on!
Go Seattle!
-
I am sure it has been asked before but I can't seem to figure it out!
-
UGH!
My 10 yo DD is a Seahawks fan and it KILLS me to see adult men (Sherman? the guy with the Seahawks) modeling such pathetic, unsportsmanlike behavior.
I don't really follow football and don't care who plays in the Superbowl. But, I do care when adult role models behave like obnoxious brats in public. Shame, shame, shame on them.
Is anyone in Seattle calling them out on their crappy behavior?
I have read a couple articles about it. One written by Sherman. Sounds like it is not just one sided and blown a wee bit out of proportion.
-
I could not care less about football, but I was really afraid the entire city of Seattle would blow up, no matter whether they won or lost. People here have been crazy all week! I even saw a woman who had a pair of heel painted in Seahawk colors with the Hawks logo on them. WHAT? Why would you do that to a pair of beautiful shoes? :scared:
Yep, the air was definitely static with the tenseness before the game. Just wait the next two weeks will be worse.
-
Yeah! That was a real nail biter!
-
Make it a poll!
Seahawks, of course!
I will have to learn how to do that! Oooooo, maybe when the hawks are in the Superbowl!
-
Hawks here!
-
I use that recipe for sandwich bread all the time! I will have to give it a try for pizza. The Costco pizza isn't bad. It is a four cheese pizza. kind of expensive.
-
Saints fan here! I live about 2 1/2 hours from New Orleans.
I am an hour from Seattle!
-
I know it is silly but who are you rooting for? Seahawks here!
-
Yes. He is looking to improve his math skills, continue with formal speech and perhaps do a form of debate. We thought about looking into Running Start as he turns 18 in may.
-
Has anyone done a super senior year for their student. My oldest isn't quite ready for college so we are planning to do that for him. If so what did yours look like?
-
I created one using Word. I separate the days. Then for each subject I leave a blank that I fill in. You could make space for chores too. I just print a bunch off and fill in one each weekend as I plan.
-
Thanks for checking on me. Still spotting off and on very lightly. I don't have any cramping. Going to make an appointment to get checked. Thanks for all the encouragement. I have never spotted with any of mine before so this is new territory for me.
-
hugs. I did that with #5. from about seven weeks to 12 weeks I spotted off and on. It was implantation bleeding. so I hope it's nothing serious for you.
Maybe. But I am 4-5 weeks. Guess it is a wait and see now.

When the kids were little we joined an Alphy's Road to Reading program where they would get up in front of a group of kids and tell about that book they had read. Then the group morphed into more of a speech group. They learned how to give different types of speeches once a month on various topics, pretty informal. During the last two years my older two have joined a formal speech and debate league. On does speech and debate one does speech only. My twelve year old is joining this year. I have been so encouraged by their progress. I am one who took a 0 or didn't participate due to fear.
