Hello I just sent you a PM. I could use your help and input. Thanks, Yolanda

We have decided to take a family trip to D.C. the second week of April. We have a family of 4(2adults & 2kids ages 8&6.5) We are looking for a resonable hotel that's close by all most museums and the zoo. Any suggestions would be nice. Also wanted to know some of the favorite places to go with kids? Thanks

WOW!!

Well it looks like the flu and strep is going around! http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_news/flu-hits-hampton-roads-schools

It's not a scam. I have purchased several deals from them but I have yet to get my confirmation for this deal. I think they sold over 2,000 amazon deals yesterday.This may be the reason why it's taking so long to get it.

I'm sad:crying:! What about VA?

Thanks I'm going to go with the E A Sports More along with the accessory pack. Hope I like it!

Looking to get a good workout when I can't make it to the gym but still be enjoyable. Want to maintain my weight and toning. I can't seem to decide if I should go with the: EA Sport 2; EA Sports Active More; Gold's Gym Cardio, or the Wii Fit plus with Balance Board. Amazon seem to have good prices right now. http://www.amazon.com/EA-Sports-Active-2-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B003O6C0V4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295022005&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/EA-Sports-Active-Workouts-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002KJ9XE8/ref=pd_sim_vg_2 http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Fit-Plus-Balance-Board-Nintendo/dp/B002BSA3EM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1295022171&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Golds-Gym-Cardio-Workout-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B001KX504C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1295022275&sr=1-1

Here is my situation. I started out with Singapore 1A Standard Edition with my 7yr old son last year for first grade and Early Bird for my K son . Well my K son flew through the early bird and it took my oldest an entire year to complete 1A. I thought if we keep going this rate he would been behind. I talked to my hubby and we decided this year to start both boys 1st grade and 2nd grade in MUS Alpha. Now I wish I would have just started my oldest in SM 1B and my youngest in 1A . They both seem to like MUS alot especially the blocks and they get the concepts. I would really like to add SM back into our schedule but I'm not sure if it's going to be too much! I really liked the way SM had them calculating math in their heads and had them thinking. How should I schedule SM with MUS Alpha???

Over the Christmas break we went from being a non video family to having two video game systems in the house. I knew we would get a Wii for Christmas because my mom and I decided to go half and buy it for my family. Than on Christmas day my husbands aunt and uncle called and asked if it was ok to stop over the house because they got the kids a gift that they would enjoy. And guess what it was?.another Wii with extra remotes and a charging station and extra games with batteries. They were a little dissapointed when they walked in the door to find out we already had a Wii. My boys had know idea what the gift was. Everything was wrapped in a big gift bag. We kept all the Wii extras and my hubby and I thanked them for the generous gift and told them they could just take the Wii back for a refund. They looked a little disappointed but said ok. Well on New Years Eve they came over with the X-box 360 system along with the Kinect. I really don't like the idea of having two games in the house but the boys and my hubby are excited! They also stated that the X-box system was also our anniversary gift which is in Feb. Forgot to mention our oldest boy will be 8 soon and the youngest is 6.5. How do you handle having two game systems in the house? Does the Wii and X-box kinect do the sme thing? I'm thinking about returning the Wii since my mon and I paid for it and adding the extra money to buy a lap top since we could use another one.

I would say drink a glass of red wine a couple nights a week. My husband good cholesterol was very low and his doctor told him to drink red wine for a few months a come back to get tested again. Well he went back and his levels were normal and has been normal every since.

Thanks I like the idea of letting the kids have their own pattern. I'm thinking 2 doz to start us off with. Where do you purchase them other than the thrift store? Maybe I'll check places like Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond, and JCPenny.

Chic Fila small nugget tray pizza sticks veggie tray cheese dip/ tortilla chips fruit bowl steamed shrimp grab legs punch from all recipes. it's good I made it Christmas Eve Still deciding on dessert. Not sure if it's going to be cookies, brownies, or apple pie and ice cream

Gave hubby a can of Chai tea from Trader Joe's. It's yummy and not expensive.

I'm finally going to make the switch! Need suggestions on how many napkins for a family of 4 and where shoud I buy the from?

Well we really like our Wii game sytem. The boys have been playing all day with their star wars light saber and also building with thier lego sets.

I should have put just venting in my title. Well I have good news, hubby decided to let everyone keep their guns. They are not to aim at the face or try to hurt one another. He also made a target and placed it on the wall and everyone including hubby had a great time target shooting. I'm very to say the least!

I'm in Va and it just started snowing here! We are excited!!

Hubby just stated he doesn't like the implication of them. I knew we talked when the boys were babies that we didn't want them playing with toy guns but I thought because they were Nerf guns they would be fun! These are the kids first time with any type of toy gun and they really think they are fun. My hubby also stated that one of his brothers became in love with guns and got in lots of trouble with the law. Maybe this is the issue and not Nerfs!

Well I purchased a Nerf maverick gun for my hubby and almost 8yr old son. I purchased the Star war clone Nerf blaster for my 6.5 yr old son. We were all having fun and the kids think they are a big hit but dad just informed me that he is not thrilled with the kids having a toy that look so real. I may have to take them back for Nerf footballs or something else by Nerf!

We are really enjoying our day! Everthing was a hit. Nerf guns(got hubby one but didn't get myself one what was I thinking!), inline skates, Everything star wars(Lego sets, light saber, books, star wars Mr.Potato head, Vader dress up outfit, and the Wii system with the star war complete saga game.

A surprise gift for me this afternoon. My I-Pad:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray Typing on it right now!

I don't see a problem with it. I make them all the time and I always brush the top with olive oil!

Now that's a great idea!!! (adult Nerf night with hubby and myself)
