Looks like Nemo is finding a lot of you.
Keep well and warm everyone.

Well.. we had the 2 girls.. and when we had the third and it was a boy, EVERYONE was like.. oh good.. they got thier boy, now they are done... but Hey... why not even it out... now I go two and two.... (Do I sometimes wish I stopped at two.. ) Nah.... wouldn't trade it for anything.... but yes.. it would be nice to have them all older and reasonable... instead.. I've got a loooong way to go..
But I do have to say the girls were alot easier... or maybe that's just because i was younger and still had patience.. the boys are just bad, and put me over the top.. and of course we were out numbered by then.... still... wouldn't trade it for anything...
There is a TV show marathon on today that Kimmar needs to watch - Destination America is airing "The United States of Bacon" all day today. The host travels the country looking for the best bacon dishes. Right now, I'm watching bacon waffles. Though I know this guy will die young if he eats bacon at this rate.

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one that gets this question.
She does NOT give homework other than reading. She makes the kids all do their stuff during class time. She knows that parents do their kids homework....
Nemo (the blizzard, not the kiddo LOL) graced us with two feet of snow. Unearthing ourselves was quite the project. MJS did half of it when the blizzard ended on Saturday, and fortunately when he started the other half yesterday, one of our neighbors came over with his snow blower and helped out. I love our neighborhood and our town. So kind!
Yesterday my FIL came over for an impromptu visit and it was really nice. I know I haven't talked about it here, nor do I have a ticker yet, because our Disney vacation for this year is pending a lot of things financially.
But, I mentioned to him when we were thinking of going, and asked him if he wanted to come with us.
I got a resounding "YES!" as an answer!
My mother would be so proud. We've turned FIL into a convert. And actually, thinking about it, he never takes a vacation unless he goes somewhere with us. My husband is so similar, if I didn't plan vacations, he'd never take off from work.
So we've got FIL who will come the whole trip (and we're thinking of an eight day trip) and Nana who's on board for four days.
These are the reasons that really pull me to make it work. Time with family, and time with kids while they're still young and mesmerized by the magic. I know I don't have to explain that to you guys.
I do understand! It's even more special when a few generations can get together at Disney. I loved when my grandparents came with us. It was a slow paced trip, but we all had a great time watching them be "kids". We're going this weekend for a quick 3 day trip. Staying at AKV in a savanna view studio.
That sounds nice! I'd like to stay there when the boys are a little bit older. I think a savanna view with bunk beds would thrill them to no end!
I have to say, for the first time in a long time, I've actually reconsidered DVC. I love staying at moderate resorts, personally. But it is basically unaffordable to stay at a deluxe now unless you have DVC. Know what I mean? I can't believe how exponentially room rates have gone up in the past couple of years. Over $500 a night for the Poly? WOW.
Yeah.. I agree.. I don't usually help with the everyday homework... but for the big projects, sometimes they need a little something to get started. my DS and I had a little talk about what is good help, and what is too much help... I told him, he needs to be more self suffiecient, and at least come up with the ideas.... I can try and help him figure out how to get the ideas to work, but he needs to come up with something,,,,, I agree with MQ, I don't want to send him into school with something that looks like carp... Part of it, is he has a tough time focusing on anything, hopefully he will get better at these projects... on his own.
