Great, thanks. I was just wondering about it today!

wheel barrel - one person hold her feet as she moves along the floor on her hands for as long as she can.
push-ups (incline is easier, maybe on an upper step) and seated dips on a chair (arms bend and straighten as bottom goes past the seat of the chair)
hand stand against the wall (hold for as long as her upper body can handle)
yoga for upper body

Not exactly building, but my 10 yr. old is hoping for a stop animation computer camera to make lego movies. Most are only p.c. friendly. There are many kinds out there.
He went to a lego camp this summer and had a blast creating his own lego movie.

I would say 5+. Four seems to be the norm with church family and friends. Five or more is unusual for us to see.

The brown along the edges, was actually tan, to resemble sand.

We held my July ds and my April ds. Each had specific reasons to hold them back. My July ds had some social issues and my April ds had some academic issues. My dd is Sept., so she misses it anyway. But, I really don't see any reason to push forward. None of them excelled early to seem to warrant going ahead.

We did an army themed birthday cake and brought it to Laser Craze. The cake came out amazing. If I had any clue, I would post a picture, but I don't.
I made a large rectangular sheet cake. My husband and son designed the top, with 3 colors of frosting (brown, blue, and green). They frosted a blue river down the middle, brown along the edges, and green for fields on both sides. Plus, we crushed oreos and spread it along the grassy areas for a mud affect.
And, we got some candy that looks like rocks, real rocks, of assorted sizes and colors and placed them along the river.
I bought one package of cheap army guys at the pharmacy and my son planned the attack scene.
It was awesome and we all worked on it together and it did not take long.

Sorry for your family going through such a difficult time.

Thank God! I pray that her legs fully recover and her stomach problems get better and she can be off meds soon! I hope you get the stroller she needs in the meantime.
Thanks for the update!

Back to the incident. This is my town. I am on a local email list of town parents and some of the parent committees are very disturbed, which they should be, by the article and want to know what happened and what has been done since.
It will be interesting to see how the school reacts. I find it shocking! The town next to us tried to ban parents from spanking their children.
What ever happen to sending kids to the principal's office for difficult behavior? And, talking with the parents. This town is known for working very well with special needs children. People move here for it.

My just turned 10 year old needs me to teach all his lessons for each subject.
He has to do his independent reading.
He also has ETC workbook and some independent worksheets a couple times a week. But, I had to scale back on his independent work because he has a hard time focusing as it is.
So, I am doing more work with him, which he needs. We are doing more oral and dry erase board stuff and less workbook stuff. He needed less multiple steps that a workbook requires.
He also craves interaction.

I see it as choosing the right thing for your daughter, not your sister. Your daughter is impressionable and I think your sister would understand if they sleep in separate areas. Totally reasonable request regardless of belief.

I frequently think that if someone came to my house they would think that I never get around to homeschooling much less cleaning my house!
I can clean my house and within 3 or 4 days it is right back to where we started. It is defeating. And, I am lazy about it.
I am a stacker and I place things anywhere for immediate relief.
For me, between getting school work done and after school activities there is just so little time to get my kids to help clean up.
I do dream of a clean house and I would like one, but it is not my season.
And, on most days I have a hard time fitting in a read aloud, which I much prefer to cleaning.

My 10 year old is not ready for WWE 4. I like everything about it, but it is just too much for him. He is not good at remembering detail from a passage. He is awful at remembering long passages for dictation. It is just too stressful! We took an extra several months to plod through WWE3. Summarizing plus dictation was too much in one day for him.
Please give me an all-in-one similar to it. Closer to WWE 2 and WWE 3. I want him to be ready for WWE 4 next year.
I've actually considered remedial stuff like Visualizing and Verbalizing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

That is great! Congrats! The future looks bright for him!

I realize love is blind, but I still find it a bit strange.
-
Apparently he is 18 and he will begin 11th grade this fall at a private school. Still, 11th grade.
-
or is it strange that she is dating a boy that hasn't even started 11th grade!!!!!
-
Prayers for your brother. I hope he contacts someone soon.

Try Magic Treehouse and the Happy Hollisters series.

Very classy! Way to step into it.

My dd 5 has really enjoyed the stories and reading book 1. She is re- reading for the third time. Well worth it to me!
-
I've been dealing with something similar. My concern is that my kid gets too comfortable being out of my sight. I think there needs to be a balance. Is this kid at your house an equal amount?
-
Very happy with 3. I can't even handle a pet. My dh is dreamy about more. He drives me crazy about it!
Help me understand WWE

SWB says in her talks that you just can't compare her method to a typical school. She even says don't worry that in 3rd grade the brick and mortar schools will be churning out 3 page papers and by high school they will be writing 18 page papers. Her method is very counter cultural. But, she does have a method. I'm not sure the main stream schools do.
