I LOVE that!!! So, so cute!
I know! I'm glad I have an excuse to make it. :D

So cute! I haven't tried any toys/amigurumi yet, but I'm planning to make this for dd for Christmas: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r9of8Jw0Ot0/TeQ4mjQmDNI/AAAAAAAABBc/uDa3IUKtGB0/s1600/IMGP2694.JPG
Oops--that's just the pic. Here's the tutorial: http://littlewoollie.blogspot.com/2011/05/kitty-cat-tutorialpattern-part-1.html

I know I used Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze," but I can't remember now whether that was for the bridesmaids or for me! I need to pull out our video & watch it. :)

But isn't it also the "rule" that infants aren't supposed to be covered with puffy blankets?
I've seen you mention this a couple of times. The only "rule" about not using blankets with babies that I've ever heard is not to use blankets in the crib/while baby is sleeping because it's a suffocation risk. I've never heard that using one at any other time is a problem as long as there's no danger of suffocation. Maybe no one else has heard the "never use a blanket" rule & that's why you're not getting a response?
My kids' carseats do have grippy rubbery straps, incidentally. I remember those integrated carseats from a few years ago, but haven't seen any in any newer cars. I wonder why they went out of style?
I don't know--we had them in our mini van which has, sadly, passed on to smoother roads in the sky. I LOVED the built-in harnesses and would be thrilled if we were able to get another vehicle equipped with them by the time dd is big/old enough to use one.

I dunno, being invited, but not being able to make it is not the same as being excluded. It seems she would have changed the date if a different one worked. In a large family, someone always misses something. I'm not sure I'd bother to take it personally. You have your own celebration to plan. It's pointless to get spun up over this.
But that's the thing--the passive-aggressive MIL *didn't* invite them, call to check the date w/them, or even let them know when it was. It sounds like the get-together what the family always does for Christmas, so it's understood that they're included, but it sounds like MIL is doing her best to at least make them feel unwelcome.
OP, I agree with those who say to let it go and don't play the games. Let your dh handle his mom/family. And I'd seriously hope he would call his mom on her nonsense--ask her flat out why she didn't check the date with him or even tell him the plan & let her hem and haw with excuses for a bit. Don't know if that's his style, though.

We love Forbidden Island: http://www.boardgame...orbidden-island. It's cooperative and fun.
Ticket to Ride might be a fun option. 7 Wonders would be fun for the adults and teen. Attika and Africa are also favorites around here. We love these types of games. :)
I was just going to recommend Forbidden Island! :) Love the cooperative aspect of it!

Sent ds to his room for kicking his brother. Oh, the horrors.

Those are so sweet! And the magnetic backing is a great idea! :)
-
Not sure which is worse--that somebody actually wrote this stuff or that somebody else published it!!

Thank you so much for posting this!! Between the coupon and a gift card from Motherhood Maternity I covered my parents & my in-laws for $11 and change! :D
-
Beautiful! Lovely pics on your blog.
And...uh...I've never known if it's short A or long A for the town, so...Is it Ah, Aye, or A like at?
:) It's a short A, like "at." And thank you!

over the forum change (kerforumuffle? kerforfle?) I wonder how long it will take the powers that be to, er, update the message at the top of the screen.
...the greatest classical education community on the entire internet.

...a darn good homeschooling community.

.. eh, they're all right. I guess they kind of grow on you after awhile. Sort of like a fungus.

Oh, she's just lovely! Congratulations! She looks very kissable. :)
I love her name -- do you pronounce it with a long 'a' or a short 'a'? (Either way, so pretty!)
Gorgeous! Do you pronounce it Avonlea like Anne of? I have a friend who just named her baby that and I'm steady praying for some more girls so I can use this one day.
I love the cheeks. Sweet, sweet girl!
Yes, it's pronounced like "Avonlea." Dh didn't want to actually name her after the town (which he didn't realize was fictional :)), so we changed the spelling. I knew true fans would figure it out, though. :p
That's my beautiful new grand-niece! Congrats again, Heather - can't wait to meet her!
I can't believe she & L share a birthday! Love that! :D

Born Saturday morning at 11:15, 8lbs 1oz (at 37 weeks!) and 20.5 inches long. She's a sweetheart and has pretty much gotten all of us wrapped around her little finger, especially her smitten big brothers! :001_wub:
The pic uploader isn't playing nicely, so I posted some pics on my blog if you want to check them out. :)

:grouphug: I'm sure that was scary. I'm so glad you're both okay!
-
Nothing like vindication!!
And I hope your friend laid into her over the dh comment. :glare: It's a good thing for you guys that she's moving, but it's too bad that she will be starting fresh with new friends. If she stayed put, it sounds like it wouldn't be long before she alienated everybody!

It would depend. It's either a cry for help or a bid for attention. If I knew the person well enough to be pretty sure it was just a bid for attention, I'd probably either not respond or respond with something along the lines of, " I'm sorry you feel that way. We'd still love to have you if you change your mind!"
If I didn't know the person well or I really suspected it was a cry for help and not a drama queen thing, I'd probe deeper & try to reach out.
If I really didn't know for sure, I'd probably err on the side of caution and reach out (or pass the info on to the pastor or another church leader if I felt I couldn't for some reason). Better safe than sorry. All that to say, though, when I read that, my gut went more to drama/attention. IME, people who are really struggling don't *usually* lay it all out like that.
ETA--Whether it was a private response or a "reply all" would impact my interpretation too.

I'm so sorry. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

:party: What a blessing!!

Yeah, they'd be lousy. Pfft!!! Nice try.:tongue_smilie:
My mom swears that when she is craving bad-for-you food, she can have a cup of tea and doesn't ever think of the treat anymore. I'm pretty sure she is an alien.
:lol:

I don't think it is going to happen, I just may have to settle for ice cream. Curses to those here who keep mentioning pumpkin cheesecake!
Well, pumpkin cheesecake wasn't even on my radar until YOU mentioned it! So right back atcha! :tongue_smilie:
That sounds divine ... :drool:

Supply and demand. They may just not need things right now due to overstock or other people bringing items in. They'll buy what they have a need for, or what their customers purchase.
:iagree: I've had times where I took stuff in (Kid to Kid instead of OUAC, but same idea) and they bought a lot of it, then other times when they've bought hardly anything. It can be really frustrating.

Personally, I don't much like the way skinny jeans look, period, even on people with perfect bodies. It's a trend I would have been happy to see left in the 80s! As far as being too old, I think a lot of that would depend on what you wear with them.

The comments are definitely interesting. I think it's sad that so many people today seem to think that teens are so incapable. One person posted something about some guidelines--13 to stay alone, 15 to watch ONE sibling? Don't people realize that it wasn't so long ago that girls were married with a couple of children by 19 or 20?
If teens today ARE so incompetent, IMO it's because we as a society have coddled them and held them to ever lowering standards.
ETA--I see that someone else brought up the history example.
