He was the narrator for the Madeline cartoon, and the voice of the seagull in An American Tail. He did a good job in The Man Who Invented Christmas, too. But that one wasn't a cartoon.

KrissiK Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Amazon is making all kinds of stops here today. The two olders got their iPads for school. 🙄🙄🙄 Don’t EVEN get me started on that. And I got my new phone. Another MotoG. I knew I needed a new one (old one was 5 years old), but then we accidentally maxed out the internal memory (long story) and not much works on it now, so we just ordered a new one. Woohoo, I got the Booya/h.

SOTW 3 gets into things my sensitive Girl is not ready for--- all that war and stuff. How's about we start over with Ancients again? We all like it. I'm waiting for all the updates and new books. It is stressing me out! And I bought some stuff that I now need to return. It is my yearly embarass myself returning things at The Homeschool Store. Still not sure what to do with Captain. He has his own line in my lesson plan book. It needs filling. We read already. We are taking this week off. Today I rented 5 RedBox movies. The kids have watched 2 so far: Godzilla [2014] {boys only} and Ralph Breaks the Internet. The boys liked the first. Girl says she did not like the end of the Ralph but the beginning was hilarious! I am dying to watch Allitia- Battle Angel and Once Upon a Deadpool. Son 2 chose Fantasic Beasts: Grindelwald. The youngers are not allowed to see it. Too bad we have no popcorn or root beer or ice cream. Speaking of ice-cream, I can't seem to decide what I want when I am at the store. I stand in front of the freezer section staring with indecisiveness. Part of my problem is I have 2 kids who hate chocolate unless it is Gram's Chocolate Cake. Do you know how much cool creaminess has chocolate in it?? What's your favorite frozen confection? And I vote for Laurence Duane. Or how about Riker Duane? Cool yet easy to spell. Maise, a couple years ago, our Ward/Stake was split. It was so sad. Only 5 or 6 of us remained of the original Ward. The new people were all...not friendly... to the rest of us. It always felt like "Us" and "Them". Sometimes those splits are hard! I am glad your split is a posistive one. ANYWAY<<<< I made turkey roast for dinner and coconut rice pudding. I actually don't like it but a lot of the family does. [the pudding, not the turkey.

Wheres Toto Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hello, Busy day today. Went by the science center, met someone new who registered for zombie camp and classes for next year. The type of person who you just really click with and can talk forever. Then drive dd to tkd, back to science center for tutoring, then home for dinner (dh picked dd up), posted about tkd offering homeschool classes, then watched movie with dh. We watched the Rebel Wilson movie Isn't it Romantic. Dh didn't appreciate it but I thought it was cute and funny. Dh made scallops and sweet potatoes for dinner and we had bday cake. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped dd16 off at driver's ed. then came home to meet dd21's college friend who came to visit today and we all went to McKay's Bookstore and the Natchez Trace bridge for a picnic lunch and then dd21 had a consult for getting her wisdom teeth out next week and then I had story and writing time with The Youngers and then made dinner and salad dressing and went to pick up dd16 from driver's ed and stopped by the dollar store and came home and had dinner and played Dutch Blitz and had birthday cake and ice cream and then worked a bit on history and now going to bed. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/27/2019 at 7:20 PM, ThatBookwormMom said: Yeah, that's kind of how it feels, bit we're pretty much on our own as far as help after baby. I've been thinking about things like what Junie said - meal building blocks rather than full meals. I just don't want an endless line of takeout pizza, takeout Chinese, cold cut sandwiches, and cereal. A meal train would be nice. I've been on the giving and receiving end of these, and it's always been nice to have a home-cooked meal brought over by someone you may or may not know. I also enjoyed cooking for others. I don't see those so much now. On 7/28/2019 at 8:30 AM, KrissiK said: That’s awesome. My 13 year old DD is nervous about baptism. We are hoping she changes her mind soon. Gymnast has been wanting to be baptized since she was 4 or 5. But she didn't understand it at the time, so I didn't allow it. Now that she understands it, she still wants to be baptized, but we're not regularly attending a church. Although, we claim one as our regular. On 7/28/2019 at 9:53 AM, myblessings4 said: Morning! We're all getting ready to go to the National Videogame Museum. Ds12 has talked about going again ever since he first went two years ago! Trying to plan out the rest of the week.

Thursday is check out and get ready for trip to Virginia, so maybe just meet dd's grandma for lunch? I still can't believe he's that old! He didn't seem so big when I saw him last year!

Of course, the two brothers who buried their cars on the farm were hiding them after a series of bank robberies. I hope that wasn't why your grandmother did it. What movie was it? 8 hours ago, Slache said: I meant to respond to this earlier. My grandmother was what you might call a little tacky. Whenever a car died she just buried it. It was the cheaper option. I think there was only one on the California property but she buried three or four at her house in Missouri. After she died they sold the property and the new owners levelled it to build a mcmansion because her house was literally falling apart. I fell through the floor in the hallway once. I can't imagine what they thought when they found the car. Those are big holes... 4 hours ago, Paradox5 said: Captain is on my phone.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Drove into the Big City to the department of Vital Statistics (next door to the ME's office) for a new birth certificate for ds. We walked towards the counter and were asked if we were there to get married. "Ew! No!" (Thought, not said aloud.) Ds says that this was a compliment because they didn't think that I looked old enough to be his mother. I said that they might have just thought that I was a Cougar. Getting into the parking garage and up to the office downtown was surprisingly quick and easy and because it was so fast I didn't even have to pay for parking. 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It's been an exhausting day. Partially because I forgot to have my afternoon coffee! So I had a pre-dinner coffee. Dd16 drove on the highway with the driving instructor. I am so proud of her! Dd21 fainted while getting blood drawn and when she was coming to, she started fighting the nurse and I had to call out the door for help in room 3. So much excitement. Warning: MathPo!! Avert yer eyeballs! I started to make the gardener's pie and halfway through the recipe I realized my big pot was not big enough to handle the multiplied recipe. So I had to divide it into the larger and smaller pot and DO MATH to make sure the broth-to-grains ratio was correct. Svengo. It seems to have come out OK. Pretty tasty. As you were. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
