What are you making? Sweetened condensed milk would work in something sweet, but definitely not in something savory!

We started out using it but dropped it after a couple of months. I liked the way it was written, but the font was very hard for me to handle. Eventually we switched to R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey.
Ugh, I just opened one of the chapters from the link the op posted and I see that the font has been changed! It would have been nice if that had happened before we made the switch. *sigh* Oh well, with the cost of printing + the $50 fee for the other books we would probably have switched to R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey next year anyway.

Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the SmithsonianNight at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian(2009) PG
That's another good one!

So would it be funny and enjoyable for us as adults or is it more of a kids' movie?
Marc and I really enjoyed it, and we're all grown up. :D

What a nice thing to do!
We have Boggle but don't play it much. I like it, dh not so much because I always win. We do occasionally play Word Racer at Yahoo games...very much like Boggle, but on the computer, and in the course of play there's a couple of different layouts with bonus letters. I still win ;)We have a game called Backwards that nobody can ever beat me at, so I never get to play. :sad: I refuse to get rid of it since it's one of my favorite games. I'm hoping that at least one of the boys will like it when they get a bit older.

Another time I ran in to Target to pick something up. I was in a huge hurry, paid for my purchase, and then announced (kind of loudly) "OK, boys, let's go!". The only problem with that was I was all by myself :lol:.
:lol: I can't breathe! Uh, my ribs hurt. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Thanks for a good laugh!
Or said, "where's the baby?" and look around the room for her only to have someone point out that I'm holding her. The mom of many equal to not noticing your glasses are on your head.The story of my aunt being unable to find the baby still circulates in our family. My aunt has 8 children, so maybe it is a "mom of many" thing.
Yes!! I did that too--in front of my whole smart-alec-y family. It was 4 years ago, and it's still dragged out everytime there's a silly story moment. :blushing:The baby that I mentioned in the previous comment is now 30-years-old. Look forward to many years of it being retold. ;)
Without thinking I just blurt out "Oh my mom and step-dad are flying in tomorrow morning and they'll be staying in our bedroom. Just parent-proofing the place. You know, hiding the mushy couple devotionals and massage oils and... things...." :001_unsure: "well pastor, you know how that is...." :blink: While inside I'm screaming at myself "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU FOOL SHUT UP NOW!!!" and I just can't! Oh, the mouth is an evil thing! :lol::lol:

Definitely have your thyroid checked!

On top of the bookcase and the freezer in cardboard boxes. So far I don't think the boys have even noticed them. Santa hid some presents under the tree already, but he tossed them in paper grocery bags and threw some packing tape around them to keep curious eyes from seeing what's under there. :lol We live in an old farmhouse, so we have very little closet space and have to be creative.

That sounds like so much fun! My son would love it.
-
This thread has some wonderful ideas! I just saw a gingerbread house in a magazine that used Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the roof shingles and I have to say that it seems like it would work much better than the Frosted Mini Wheats we've used in the past. We do gingerbread with my parents every year but a party sounds like a ton of fun. I may have to start planning for a party next year!

I used to do it at home. It's fun and a great workout! I should pull out the DVDs and start up again. I could definitely use the exercise.

Nate (4)

Nik asked Santa for Peter Pan toys and Legos. Nate asked for Snow White toys and his own little Christmas tree to decorate. I'm certain that Santa will grant those wishes.

I think of cooking as a gift. If I painted a picture with a red house in it, and the recipient said, "It's nice, but I would have preferred a blue house," I would feel that my gift had not been appreciated. Maybe I'm too sensitive.

:iagree: My husband claims to love my Italian Meatloaf with Basil and Provolone. He asks me to make it once in a while, even though he knows I don't particularly care for loaves of meat (no matter how flavorful they are!) And then he proceeds to drown it in ketchup. :glare: Tell me, what is the point of going to all of the work to make the dish if he puts so much ketchup on it that the basil and provolone can't even be detected?! I could throw a couple of eggs and some breadcrumbs in a pound of ground beef and toss it in the oven much and it would be easier, but that's not the kind he wants. When I said as much to him he looked sheepish, and hasn't asked me to make the meatloaf again in months.

This is the one we use. I can't sleep without it! It also works good to help drown out noise so ds can nap.
We've been using this one for the boys for a few years. We love it.

Our stockings are homemade (by my mother and father who are quilters) and are huge so they take a lot to fill. My boys are 6 and 4 and will be getting some small Playmobil toys (like this and this), as well as a game each (this and this). They will also get toothbrushes, chocolate oranges, candy canes/peppermint sticks, a Slinky for one and a Magic 8 Ball for the other.
And my four-year-old wants Santa to bring him more play dough. "The kind you make, Mom. Can we send Santa the recipe so he can make the right kind?" I thought that was cute. So now I have to make play dough some evening after they head to bed and find some some containers to use that would make Santa proud.

Aaaah! How did I miss that there is a new book out?! The really disappointing part is that our local library is closed for renovations and won't open for a couple more weeks. :( Maybe I'll have to ask for it for Christmas.

I am having a horrible time getting HS Skedtrack to load today. Is anyone else having problems? All other web pages are loading fine. I even restarted my computer but it's not making a bit of difference.

I imagine you're already gone, but my vote for the next date night is to rent a movie and have a romantic picnic at home. Have your husband drop the kids off at the church and pick up a rotisserie chicken while he's out. You can have picked up everything else (the movie, some good cheese, a crusty baguette, fruit, and a bottle of wine) earlier in the day/week. While he's gone you set up some candles and a comfy blanket near the tv, and get your plates ready with everything but the chicken so you have time to finish your movie before your time is up. Even if you've picked a movie that you don't like you won't miss out, you can always ditch the movie and make out. :D
