When we're really broke these are the things we eat
grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches
tortillas with cheese and refriend beans
small amount of chicken with rice and beans, can be put in a tortilla also.
spaghetti, no meat
baked potatoes
macaroni and cheese with small amount of meat.
We all have a very hard time eating a meal without meat, so I just make a small amount and give everyone a bigger helping of the starch and veggie.

I had cookies for breakfast and fudge for lunch.
Really looking forward to a dinner of mashed potatoes, pork chops and peas. I need REAL food!

Oh gosh! Wish we still lived in CT so we could see this!

He's beautiful! Congratulations. :001_smile:

We are reading Catherine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman. We are at the end of chapter 3 and last night I saw my dh reading the book after the kids were in bed. LOL!
My daughter is reading that right now.
Aloud we are reading The Last Battle and will go right into The Magician's Nephew when we're done.
Also about to start Flame over Tara for our history book.

Both my high schoolers play tennis and are on the high school tennis team during tennis season. All year long they take lessons as well as practice with each other and friends. I count it as their PE credit. They also cross train and will write papers about tennis, nutrition and exercise to name a few to round out the credit.

He killed him a bahr when he was only 3.

No I definitely don't like it and was raised that it was bad manners. There is no reason to not call and at least say "I'm coming to your house for such and such reason."
It would have to be my very, very, very best friend in the whole world. And even then, I'd like a call :)

How I do love this show...
Ds has been really loving The Cosby Show lately. I've been listening from the kitchen, laughing. Tonight, he taped (and we watched during dinner) the pilot episode; you know, the one where Denise (the epitomy of cool when I was 12 yrs old) wanted to date the Merchant Marine with the ear ring and Theo wanted to be "regular people"
, and Claire says "don't you talk when I'm talkin' to you". Its very interesting to watch this particular show again now that my kids are the same age (more or less) that I was when I watched these episodes. I remember feeling really burnt by Cliff's comeback after Theo's big speech (I remember thinking 'ha! even hollywood agrees with kids sometimes, so take that, Mom and Dad!:tongue_smilie:')...I laughed really hard this time around. And so did ds :confused:!What ever happened to those kinds of shows? I don't watch much tv anymore, but I'm pretty sure shows aren't like these anymore.
Anyway, if you haven't watched it lately, enjoy the link :).
My kids and I watched these tonight. My kids have seen The Cosby Show only a few times in the past. Tonight nothing was on and I went past Disney and Nickelodeon and found...The Brady Bunch! My 9 and 10 year olds were mesmerized! Ha, then Cosby came on after. It was great.
And I LOVED that my 15 year old son heard the whole thing with Theo and his dad about him wanting to be "regular people" It was great.

Well I don't think they're doing it for show at all. They don't believe in using birth control. They believe in having as many babies as God gives them. I couldn't do it, but I can't fault them for it, especially since they support them on their own. They are obviously turning out great citizens and children of God, so more power to them!

No. Every teacher does it differently. Do it the way you want to. If your child does well on tests, you can save yourself time and just grade tests. If your child doesn't test well, you can grade a test the same as a homework assignment. It doesn't matter. It is totally up to the teacher. One cc teacher of my son's graded everything equally--from 5 question quizzes to a 5 page report. Personally, I thought that was weird; however, it illustrates that there is no standard whatsoever.
I'm so glad to hear this myself!
I had been wondering. I personally count everything as the same. Especially since I've never been big on tests and quizzes, though they are starting to take them now that they are in high school.

I think we're in week 14 or 15 in Sonlight.
Yeah...not even halfway through. It's bad. Baaaaaad.

I use an Umbrella school. I pay $25 a year and send in 180 days of attendance.
I'm just not excited about having to deal with the county and keeping a portfolio.
This is exactly what I do, however this coming fall I'm going to register my older two with the school district so they can play on the tennis team. It will be a new experience.

I received WP yesterday, but still NO SL! I am feeling the need for some chocolate...
My WP came yesterday too and the cover was half ripped off! Made me cranky.

Mine came today, I got 2! I wasn't even looking for it, and that's the best way. Every other year I was feverishly awaiting it. Not that I didn't want it this year...I've just been too busy to think about it. :D
My dd 10 and I looked through it once already

read them all mutliple times and we love the series and movies.

Yes, people in the south really are that friendly. Complete strangers will talk to you as if they've known you for years. Cashiers actually look you in the eye and speak to you. After living in CT for 8 years it was so wonderful to move back south. It took a while to get the "northern" off me.

Sonlight. For their ages I would do core 1, great books!! Cores 1 and 2 were my favorites and my kids favorites...well really cores 1 - 4 were...anyway. I used Core 1 when my kids were 7 and 8.5 and they got a ton out of it.
-
If I HAD to yes. I have a Sonlight Core that is above the one we're using, but not the next one. I have enough curriculum to last until all the kids graduate just about.

Can someone tell me what that is? I saw a note at the top of my page but I "x" 'd it out. :confused:

The Narnia series aloud to my kids
The Scarlet Pimpernel
It Takes A Village Idiot
this year I started many books and didn't finish them.
My Life in France by Julia Child was one...
Becoming Jane Austen was another, can't remember them all.
I didn't do a whole lot of reading this year either. I hope to do better in the new year.
I just finished The Heretic's Daughter and am now reading Cleopatra's Daughter.
