If you like those, try mealie bread. You'll love it. Oldest found the recipe in our cookbook that went with Trailguide to world geography last year and we've been making it ever since. I use the Aldi brand knockoff of Bisquick and double the recipe for a 9x13 casserole pan. I also grease the pan with butter first even though the recipe doesn't say to. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's this break you speak of? 😂 Seriously, we may take day off school on Oldest's birthday next week and maybe Christmas Eve and New Years Eve in addition to the actual holidays, but that's all. However, school will be more relaxed and interest/activities based like arts & crafts, playing cards and board games to keep those math skills working, baking, gift wrapping, ect. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Morning. I slept in a little bit this morning and am taking it slow before heading in to the science center. Usually I go in early even on the days I don't start until 11:30 but today I just decided not to. Didn't meet dd for yoga since she has an early morning dentist appointment. I do need to get a move on because I do have some cleanup to do from yesterday's classes. I left ramps all over the tables. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Thursday! I'm planning to have school next week, but I'm not sure about after that. I have two college kids coming home which will make continuing school difficult. Dh has been using ds20's bedroom for telework. That will probably change, which will throw everything out of whack for a couple of weeks. We're also not sure how long the college kids will be here as they may have opportunities to work on campus during the break. I already know that they're not going to like how locked down we've been here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good morning!

Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D Friday Eve!! School and work!! We have school Monday and Tuesday of next week and then the rest of the week plus two more weeks off. We just finished reading “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” for literature. I had never read that book before, but it was so sweet, I just had to mention it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We read that one last year, so maybe something different. We haven't read "The Cricket on the Hearth" (Dickens) for a few years - that's one of my favorites. Or maybe we could do Skipping Christmas, which I have read but I don't think anyone else has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn’t make it, though. I love chile verde. Now I am in soft jammies snuggled up in bed trying to figure out some Christmas presents. My least favorite part of the season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made so many mistakes on my embroidery thing that I thought I was going nuts. Alas. Another one is finished. 3 done, 3 to go. I'm signing up for another obedience class with Sir Pups-a-lot, at a different place though.
