Slache Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Outta likes! It's been a while. We're getting Fiestaware and I'll wash it myself until they're older. My kids have water bottles. They went strait from bottles to cups and water bottles. They like having their own water bottles. It's like they're proud of it or something. Mary's heart was broken two weeks ago when John accidentally broke hers. She has a Frozen one now. :001_rolleyes: Still purple though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 And it's the Apologia Advanced Biology textbook and 2 notebooks that made the box so.heavy. This is the first science course ds15 has looked forward to. I also got some test answer keys that I needed. (Boring) Keep me posted on how this goes; I've got my eye on this for a couple of years down the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I deep cleaned the bathrooms. I hate doing that, it needed to be done! That is all! Oh, no, that is not all. I have an ITT WWYD: Situation: we are meeting friends at the park tomorrow for lunch and I have decided to do the drive-through thing. I am so sick of Taco Bell I could vomit. But the kids like Taco Bell. I want In 'n Out Burger, and the kids always complain about that. So, do I... a) suck it up and all of us go to Taco Bell b) tell the kids to suck it up, we're all going to In'n Out and listen to the little ungrateful wretches complain c) go through both drive-throughs and all of us be happy! Friends don't let friends eat Taco Hell. Don't do it!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We have these: cups, bowls, plates. We bought several sets of each because it's the exact number that we need and because they were cheap. For lunch and dinner, the dc use divided cafeteria trays. They're great because nobody's foods get mixed up (catastrophe averted) and it's only one dish per child. It saves room in the dishwasher. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) My kids are also color-coded. It makes life so.much.easier. My best advice? If you are going to have lots of kids, save the gender neutral colors (yellow, purple) in case you have a gender imbalance in the composition of your family. Also, IKEA plastic plates/cups/bowls/silverware is a huge blessing for when you have lots of littles. After lots of my china was broken, the littles got switched over to plastic.

texasmama Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I have a beat up Sigg large water bottle that is about 10-12 years old. It has a pop up top to drink from a little opening. I just tried to choose a new one looking on ebay and amazon and became overwhelmed. I need basically what I have (Sigg, Kleen Kanteen, etc - don't care about brand - just want a stainless steel one), the largest one made (it stays in the car), and purple. Someone with mad google skills take pity upon me. Sad story: I bought myself a nice purple replacement about 8 years ago and think it fell out of the van or something because I lost it and never saw it again. :sad: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The largest Sigg is 1.0L. There is no purple; there is a very dark blue with purplish hint. I'm gonna go look at Klean Canteens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Keep me posted on how this goes; I've got my eye on this for a couple of years down the road. I actually may not be using this next year; I bought it while it was on sale. :) Ds15 has done: General Science, Physical Science, and is currently doing Biology. Dd13 has done: General Science, and has one module left in Physical Science. I also have the 2nd edition Chemistry. I was planning for ds15 to do Chemistry next year. The Apologia website recommends taking Chem. before Adv. Bio. I'm going to look at the textbook to see if he really needs Chem. first. If not, we may just skip it and maybe he can take Chem. at the Community College. More than you wanted to know, probably. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like big open kitchens and I like to cook and bake from scratch so I like lots of counter space. We also entertain a lot and I will miss my big open kitchen. All of my friends are like a size 4 though so I can probably fit one or two between the fridge and the wall when they come over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
