Here's my hunky husband. The photo is a couple of years old, but he looks the same.

Oh, I'd buy UP in a heartbeat. Yes, the first part (a wordless, mini-film in itself that shows unrealized dreams and the heartbreak of losing a spouse) can be seen as depressing, but the deep love between the man and his wife is lovely, and the ending is great--he realizes that they DID have a wonderful life, even tho their dreams didn't turn out exactly as planned--that life as lived is just as wonderful as life dreamed, if it's filled with love. The dogs are funny ( a little scary, as most "fairy tales" are), the boy is determined, caring, and dear, and respects the old man, even when the old man is cranky and impatient.
I loved it.
:iagree:
I loved Up and will definitely be buying it! I'm not generally a fan of animated movies, but it was such a sweet story. As an added bonus it had less of the words that I object to (name calling....."stupid", "dumb", etc) than any other movie I've seen in ages. I think we heard one instance of "dumb" and that was it. My boys have been acting out scenes from the movie ever since we watched it. My husband and I keep quoting Dug, one of the dogs in the movie, because he was so darned cute!
Monsters vs. Aliens was cute, but nothing spectacular. The boys watched it twice but haven't done the usual pretend play that occurs after they watch a movie they really like.

I am not aware of where to buy ingredients other than those found in my local grocery store. Three packets of yeast cost almost $3. That is just the yeast! I don't see how I can make bread cheaper.
You can buy 2lbs from Amazon for $14.17 with free shipping. It's even cheaper at Sam's club if you have one nearby.

Spelling: It's not rocket science. :lol:
:lol: Must.....remember....to....breathe! Thanks for the huge laugh!

Nanny McPhee and Nim's Island get my vote. I'm not a big fan of animated movies, but I do love Snow White.

Okay guys, he's back. We just spotted him in the laundry room. I hadn't seen him in days, but he's figured out how to live in the wilds of the downstairs. He obviously doesn't care for peanut butter. What else shall I bait the trap with? I thought about just leaving him be until he dies of natural causes, but now....
It's personal.
Barb
I would bait the trap with whatever you were feeding him before he escaped.

Those sites have some really cute ones. I got my current background from http://www.deluxetemplates.net/.

There are five lessons per week, so we just do one per day on M-F. But I don't schedule blocks of time per subject, so I can't help you there.

Can you imagine the headaches and strain on their eyes? My head hurts just thinking about it.

For an even easier fix (if you feel like messing with the HTML code sounds scary) try finding free templates that she likes that already don't have the "Next Blog" feature. The template for my blog is by Deluxe Templates and doesn't have the "Next Blog" feature. Poking around some of the other templates on the site it looked like most (or maybe all) of them didn't have it.

There was a homeschool mom in a social group we attended who made chain mail for her son by sewing soda can pulls onto a black sweatshirt. She used different colored pulls from different types of cans (ie. certain beer or energy drinks have colored tabs) to add a design to the front. It was A LOT of work but it looked really cool.
Oh, wow, that is a great idea!!! I might even be able to convince my mom to make that one since she loves having some hand-sewing to work on. Thank you!

Nik was a ninja, and Nate was the black Spiderman. Pictures
On the lighter side, my daughter often goes out, even to church services, dressed up her own way with her face painted, so we have fun with this dress up stuff any day we want to. :001_tt2:So pretty! Did you paint those yourself?
-
Isn't it great?! I have a feeling that most of our Halloween costumes will be history related. We recently finished up a study of the geography of Asia and Nik latched on to the idea of being a ninja for Halloween.
Next year we'll be learning about the Middle Ages, and he already has plans to be a knight. In full armor. :glare: I think I need to start planning how to make that costume now, because I'm certain I won't find one to buy!

Now I have a humongous craving for Crash Hot Potatoes. It's too bad we ate dinner an hour ago. *sigh*

Do the chairs come with plastic covers? :tongue_smilie: You do have a four-year-old, right?
-
I think the mouse is dead :001_unsure: I set the trap but I've not seen or heard it since. Now I just have to find it before my daughter does.
Barb
Oh, poor thing!
My first thought was, "There's a wocket in my pocket." :001_smile:Which I do not wish to keep.
But the Zillow on my pillow
always helps me fall asleep.
-
Hmm how do you know that anyway? ;)
:lol: I refuse to admit to anything on this board. I far too new and don't want to be driven off! :tongue_smilie:

And I'm embarrassed that I know all of that. :leaving:

I'm guessing Kendra is one of the former Playboy Playmates on Girl's Next Door, aka Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. She married a football player and is pregnant or just had a baby or something, so she's been all over the entertainment news. I couldn't tell you who the other K names are. Actually, now that I'm thinking maybe some of the other "K" names are the Kardashians?

This evening Collin grabbed my 13yo cheeks in his hands and with narrowed eyes asked her, "Do you believe in cheeses?"
That is hilarious! :lol: I love the things little ones come up with. Nate learned a prayer at preschool. However, he insists that the way he says it is the correct way, and it is definitely not.
"God is great,
God is good,
And we thank Him,
For our food."
Except when he says "food" it rhymes with "good."

In our area we have had only 3 confirmed cases. According to the local doctors it takes too long to get results back from testing, so everyone with flu-like symptoms is counted as having H1N1 and given Tamiflu.

Thank you! These look great.
You're welcome. :)

I downloaded some (thanks, Kathleen:)), and these are NOT the Singapore workbooks or textbooks that many here use (myself included). They are nice downloads that you can print off that will correspond with the material presented in the Singapore books. I wouldn't use these downloads as my math program; just as a little something extra to add to whatever you may have already.
Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

:iagree: Homeschool Skedtrack is awesome!
Wet leaves/Wax paper Ironing ?

Would it work to microwave the leaves (assuming you have a microwave) to dry them? Or put them between a couple of rags or paper towels and run the iron over them until they are nice and dry? I don't think using wet leaves would work very well.
