  1. I'm looking for board game suggestions. We have an extensive boardgame collection and love adding to it. We're happy with 2 player games for just the both of us or games for as many people as possible because we have a boardgame night every few months with friends. Here are some of the games we have. I'll bold the ones we absolutely love. Any suggestions on what to get him to add to our collection? -Settlers of Catan (several expansions) -Last Night on Earth (several expansions) -Ticket to Ride -32 dice -Dominion (one expansion) -Qwarriors (one expansion) -Kulami -Quarridor -Risk -Scrabble -Chaos -Game of Thrones board game There are more but those are the ones that get played the most frequently.
  2. Jean, if your dh and sil have power of attorney over your parents I believe they can legally sell your fil's car and hence not have to deal with his driving issue. They would also have to make it so he is not able to access his own money so he can't just purchase a new one. I believe they would be able to do so since they have power of attorney. I
  3. For those who feed raw, care to share your mixtures and the approx cost per month(weight of dog would be useful too.) I'm considering raw but just not mentally their yet. I am all for it its just the added hastle of not being able to just buy a bag and scoop. That may sound really lazy but right now I'm having a hard enough time finding the energy to feed my family properly so the dogs are on the back burner until after this baby comes and I'm used to a new family routine.
  4. Completely normal in my opinion but I have night Ares like that too occasionally. If it were a nightly thing I'd be concerned but its common to dream about things that worry you even if you consciously don't know its worrying you
  5. Also, ticket to ride and labyrinth by ravensburger
  6. Chess, checkers, rivers roads and rails, make or break Jr, blink(card game,) catan Jr., qwirkle(tile game,) quarto, quarridor. Those are my almost 6 year olds favorites
  7. That would never be something that warranted an immediate trip to the vet in my house. Most likely the dog will throw up a bunch, have intestinal issues for the next day or so but nothing that can't just run its course. Of course if they got into something that was poisonous to them I'd take them to the vet.
  8. My oldest 2 are 17 months apart. The third is roughly 3 years younger than the middle child but that happened because I had a miscarriage between the two of them. I'm expecting my next in Feb so that one will be 2 years younger than my current youngest. I have no cons with these age gaps. I wanted my children close in age so I wouldn't get out of one stage and feel like I was starting all over. I also wanted them to be close in age developmentally so they had someone they could play with on roughly the same level as them. So far it has worked out wonderfully. For me personally, I would hate a 5 year age gap between my 2 youngest because I don't transition well to huge changes and going from being out of toddler/infant stage and then being thrown back into it would affect me very badly.
  9. Depends on what you consider appropriate. The only criteria I put on Dr who episodes is will it scare my kids. They are 4 and almost 6 and can watch any episode I don't think will scare them. I've seen them all so I know which ones to skip. But some people have issues with adult innuendo that in my opinion goes over most children's heads.
  10. Thanks Jean. The new Dr delivers out of the hospital I'm comfortable at so I think I'm good. He's the backup Dr for the birth center I was at so he's used to late in the pregnancy transfers so he'll happily see me. With my dd's csection the anesthesiologist put the spinal block too high causing me to go entirely numb and not be able to breath on my own. I was conscious so being aware of the fact that you can't breath for youself was horrifying. I also had no idea what was going on. All I knew was I couldn't breath, move, or open my eyes, but I could hear everything that was going on. It felt like I was like that for hours and all I could do was pray I'd come out of it and worry that I may never see my family again. It left a scar. I won't be able to be fearless until after the baby comes and I'm out of the OR but at least I know that I can control my emotions at the hospital it didn't happen at because I did so when my youngest was born. Going to the hospital it happened at is apparently something I'm not ready for.
  11. Well after an awful night of sleeping and a panic attack I realized I'm not OK with going to the hospital my new Dr delivers out of so I will not be going to my appointment today. Long story but essentially the anesthesiologist messed up and I'm mentally scarred from it. I thought I was over it but as my first appointment date with new Dr approached it became clear I wasn't. So I woke up and called a different Dr and I'll be seeing them next weds! Now that I've gotten over that issue time to tackle the day. -get school done -quick clean upstairs rooms -vacuum upstairs -get laundry put away(I forgot about it yesterday!) -ds acrobatics -list some books -who knows what else
  12. Haha. I often feel that's way when reading everyone else's list.
  13. We put gifts for relatives that we'll be seeing on the 24th and 25th under the tree as gifts get wrapped. Gifts for my dh go under the tree whenever also. All the gifts for the kids get put under after midnight Mass
  14. I picked other because I tend to do all of them, minus a craft.
  15. I say do it! I want to school year round but I agreed to teach my nephew at home this year and my sister needed him to follow a public school schedule because of his other 2 siblings. If/when I am no longer helping out with him I would school year round in a heart beat. And if I were you I'd certainly stop now and start up again in Jan.
  16. My brother and sil put theirs up in September. But that is traditional for people from the Philippines, which is where my sil is from.
  17. If they only have power of attorney and not guardianship over their parents then i dont think they can force them to stay. Your best bet now is to just ignore any requests or complaints about wanting to leave and hope they are too overwhelmed to try to do it for themselves. If they do end up leaving then you would have to go through court to get guardianship over them to make them stay. I will be praying that all this is just fear of a new situation and homesickness and that they allow enough time to pass so they can get more comfortable there.
  18. Hugs Jean! That's so difficult. Are they allowed to make the decision to leave themselves?
  19. Not quite sure what is in store for us today. I suppose I'll just create a list of maybe tackle things and work from there. -finish putting laundry away -ds kung fu test -dd normal kung fu class -clean computer room -continue to teach kids how to list items for sale (ds is obsessed after watching picker shows with me the 2 days I was sick last week. He already made $11 selling a board game he found at a thrift store.) -figure out what's for dinner -clean my room - help kids clean their room
  20. Jean, so glad you got it all situated today. Go take a LONG nap now!
  21. Well ds sold both rush hour and the other game I was initially intending to go to nieces and nephews for Christmas. He made $11 and I made $11 on a $1.98 purchase so I'm happy with that outcome. My portion will go towards Christmas gifts. He will likely save his for a big purchase in the future.
  22. My mom's surgery went phenomenally! Now I can spot being so anxious and get back to a normal day
  23. He he, I forgot my lab slip for the blood work when I left to pet sit. I suppose that is an errand for tomorrow! School is done, dishes are done, pet sitting is done. Taking a break for a bit. Once nephew is picked up I'll have the kids help me clean downstairs and get laundry moving
