  1. We use megawords and love it. It helps my struggling reader with vocabulary, reading and spelling. I don't stress the spelling aspect of it as I use it more for the reading comprehension and vocabulary side of it.
  2. I love Aldi!! It has saved my budget. It is hit and miss with their produce. I get most of mine at other places.
  3. :grouphug: Praying .... Hope you can get some RL support soon too. :grouphug:
  4. We just installed two Solar Tubes in our Ranch house. They provide so much more natural light and the kitchen one has a light in it that we can turn on in the evening. Our next door neighbor had one for years that we coveted before being able to afford them ourselves. We were told that we can get some sort of tax rebate for energy efficiency. http://www.solatube.com/
  5. Here is an update for the Winter session!!!! Hello previous campers and students of CYT-Milwaukee! I wanted to write and tell you my exciting news for CYT-Milwaukee. Not only are we continuing classes here in the Milwaukee area, but we're going forward with plans for Milwaukee's 1st full-stage CYT production "Godspell" next session! Justin Parks himself will be directing - WooHoo! He's one of the best CYT directors nation-wide, and we are so privileged to have him directing our very first Milwaukee show! Here's a bio on Justin Parks: Justin helped co-found CYT Chicago in '97 and has directed 30 CYT shows, more recently West Side Story, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Seussical. He has helped plant CYT programs in Kansas City, Houston, Vancouver and is excited about Milwaukee! He is also an occasional actor, dad to four and husband to amazing wife Rachel, cooking show & NFL fan and follower of Jesus. About directing Godspell, he says "I'm excited to breath new life into the show. It has amazing potential to put a song into our hearts, make us laugh, cry and see life in a new way. Come audition everyone that wants to be a part of a history-making show." I don't want to make this a lengthy email, so instead I will hit the highlights, and will let you get all the nitty-gritty details from off the website.

  7. For the first time this year, I'm getting a turkey from a friend. She has raised about 20 organic, free range, turkeys this year. I can't wait to see what the difference will be.
  8. Well...They aren't fluffy but pugs are GREAT family dogs. Mine have never been too yappy but they do shed. They have a small body to shed from though....
  9. Can you tell me what the multimedia cd is like? I saw it and some of the reviews said that it wasn't that helpful..... but maybe it would help my son.
  10. I have the cd for my struggling reader. He does very well with listening and following along in the book.
  11. How old are your boys and how independent are they? I have 3 boys and I feel fairly confident that I could leave one of them and he would get his work done. One is too young at 6 to do much on his own but then again I don't have to do much school with him. The oldest is my most difficult..... I don't know if it would work for him or not. Is your husband going to be around the house to help out while he is looking for work? I think that what you are proposing is doable especially if your husband is prepared to help out during the next year even if he finds a full-time job.
  12. I really wanted them to stay and thought that they did a better job then Delilah.
  13. My neighbors just purchased an Australian miniature Laberdoodle. He is supposed to stay quite small (under 20 pounds) and be hypoallergenic. He does not have short smooth hair though.
  14. I'd like to know if one is planned too. I have a son who struggles with reading but loves to listen to "books-on-tape". I'm glad to see that the Medieval World is on Audible!!
  15. I said within the last week. We leave our State several times a week but we live 5-10 minutes from the State line and a lot of our activities are up on Wisconsin. I think it will depend on where you live and how big your state is..... Oh I wish I could change my answer. We're leaving the state in just 2 hours! I guess that will count for today. ;-)
  16. Mine will be 8 years old, turning 9 in February, during his 3rd grade year.
  17. I agree with Dolphin Tale. I have not seen it but we have met Winter. We were down at the Clearwater Aquarium 2 years ago and saw her there. My middle son even won a Winter stuffed dolphin which had no tail. We can't wait for it to come out!!!!
