Just cancelled Whispering Canyon 8/26 at 5:30 for 3 people.

This trip we will be around 1 pm eating dinner that night at Whispering Canyon. We will probably then check out the other hotels in the area or just go to Disney Springs and walk around the shops. Then take the boat back to POR.

I don't even think you need a card for it. I thought the cards were to purchase on the x-box. DS has had his PC account for 4 years now and we just purchased it right off the Minecraft site.

I hate that everything is being downsized. DH tells me to stop buying from the companies that downsize, but it is sometimes hard to find stuff that is not. Scratch cake and icing is not hard, I just never seem to have all the ingredients when I want to make one-lol.

I was DS's Cub Scout Den leader from Tiger through Bear. DH took over at Webelos and is now Scout Master for DS scout troop. In cubs it was nice to have one or two parents around to help out, but they were not required to stay. Parents do not stay at the Boy Scout meetings. DS was in cubs in...

I am in NJ. We pulled DS out of school last year in November. We were able to get all of the workbooks he was using. We ended up buying the Saxon Math. We will be using the Saxon math again this year. Just putting together everything else ourselves. If you are not already enrolled in...

Well we survived our 1st year of homeschooling :) Still a little nervous about the upcoming year. I am looking for recommendations for 8th grade World Geography. Also anyone have a good idea of how to get a kid who hates to write up to speed? Thanks!

Hi. We are considering buying a computer (parental) software for DS's computer just so we can keep an eye on what he is doing. I am wondering if anyone has purchased and used any kind and can make a recommendation. Some of the ones we were considering are WEB Watcher and Specktra Soft. We...

On our trip in 2007 while sitting in the airport waiting to get on the plane DS then 6 says he doesn't feel good. By the next morning at breakfast it was obvious he was sick-he was not eating anything. Checked with the front desk and they gave us the information for the Urgent care center. We...

Hi Jenn, We have had many of the same problems with DS 13-7th grade. He was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He has always had social issues when in school. He said that maybe only one or two kids in his class were nice to him. Does much better in other settings where there are kids a...

Just finished watching "Letters to Juliet"

Thanks for the reply vleeth. We actually ended up purchasing a new 7/6 yesterday. Unfortunately is said it is going to take about two weeks to come :sad1: I am hoping that if we work through the summer DS should be caught up to grade level.

Thanks. I think we will be getting the new one too. DS is also struggling in math. Cant wait to get started. Hopefully, like your son, mine will also start to like math again. :)

We had the same problem when DS was little. We tried to pay the difference to update him to the adult plan but could not. Disney suggested using his CS as a snack and paying out of pocket for his meal. Luckily most of our TS were usually buffets.

Hi, We pulled DS out of school in November and have been doing math on our own but I would really like to get a book to use. We are looking at getting DS the Saxon Math. Do you purchase yours new or have you tried getting a used set of books. Thanks

OP I do not think they can refuse to show you the video. Check out this article from Wrightslaw: www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/ltrs/video_privacy.htm I would suggest getting it quickly if you can. DS had an issue on the bus that we did not find out about for about two weeks and the school said...

Hi, DS's first Disney trip was two weeks before he turned 3. He was 40 inches tall with his shoes on. He was fine on all of the rides. He did BTM, Splash Mt., test track and Tower of Terror. He liked them all. I think you know your child best and if he is not afraid and wants to go on the...

DS would like to learn German instead of the Spanish that they were teaching when he was in the public school (in which he learned nothing!) Has anyone ever used the Duolingo website to have your children learn a foreign language? Do you have another website or program that you would recommend...

Thanks for the feedback lucigo. It is just hard to break the mindset of what "school" is after ds going to public school for the last 8 years. It is great to be able to spend the one on one time and discuss different topics and see ds really learning.:)

We had several inches about a week ago then it got warm and rained and it all melted. While we were out to dinner tonight we got a nice little coating just to make it look pretty for Christmas. After Christmas it can be in the upper 70's. Not going to happen but one can wish :)
