DDA Chapter 16

[my3princes]

We're watching biggest loser too There are some really big people on there this time.

 

[my3princes]

Where is everyone tonight? I'm bored

 

[tinker1bell]

i am here watching Dirty Jobs

 

[my3princes]

Are they not doing birthday threads anymore? I know that someone on the DIS started one for each Disser in the past, but there aren't any over there now?

We are doing science fair, of course.
The only thing left is bibliography. DS said his science teacher said they can have until Friday to turn the projects in, but I want him to take it in tomorrow. It's not like the project would be any better if he waited 2 more days to turn it in. The board is all done, the written stufff is done, the bibliography is the last hurdle. The thing is, he didn't use 5 sources so we need to get creative to come up with 5 sources to list.

August 9-15 at WDW? Anne Marie and I will be there that week, and possibly Janet. And Debbie & Richie if we can convince them! And Robyn if I can convince her. And any other DDA I can ensnare.

I was hoping to go for longer, but that might just have to do. It certainly would give me an excuse to go when I can get the most bang for my buck meeting up with people from the DDA.

Can he use you, or the DDA, as a source?

For those of you dieting, cover your eyes.

I'm having cake AND vanilla ice cream. I wish I could share with you. YUM!

 

[my3princes]

I've consumed my points for the day. I even managed to fit in my milk Actually fat free yogurt with 1/4 cup Kashi cocoa granola. Very good. I'm not a big yogurt eater, but it was actually pretty good. I'm trying to add different things into my diet. I usually won't try new things, but I'm trying to turn over a new leaf.

Crafts with meaning.

There are lots of things you can do with yarn. You could glue yarn to the outside of an empty can to make a pencil holder. You can use the plastic canvas

. You can do houses, kleenex box covers, ornaments...etc. You could uses old socks with a needle and thread and odds and ends to make sock puppets and have the kids do a little impromtu puppet show. Bead projects are cheap, easy and practical. We did key chains with the boy scouts. They liked the letter beads as they could incorporate names into the key chains. Can you tell that I'm just listing things that I've done with scouts when I cleaned up the basement I found remenants of all these projects

Thanks for the ideas.

I just realized that I forgot to thank Robyn and Terry for the ornament exchanges that they sent. Leslie's package arrived just as we were leaving for my dad's house, so she opened it in the car. She was thrilled with the Hannah Montana ornaments, and all the goodies, too. She did share with her siblings, so they were happy campers as well.

Terry sent the cutest Winnie the Pooh ornament for Timothy. It is so darling! We just love the classic Pooh, and his side of the boys room is all classic Pooh! The 4 parks ornament is just wonderful, too! I hope to someday get to all 4 parks. Thanks so much!

I wish that I had pictures of them, but Alan put all the Christmas stuff away before I had a chance. Please know that we are thrilled with all the ornaments we received this year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

I'm glad she liked it and that it arrived before Christmas!

Again?

Hey, I'm allowed days when I don't have all the answers!!

August 9-15 at WDW? Anne Marie and I will be there that week, and possibly Janet. And Debbie & Richie if we can convince them! And Robyn if I can convince her. And any other DDA I can ensnare.

It might be doable, MIGHT

Liquid starch is a liquid substance you use to starch clothing. You should be able to find it at Walmart with the laundry soap.

The Oobleck is awesome, it is like a solid until disturbed then it acts like a liquid. It is actually a solid liquid non-Newtonian substance. If you make a large enough container of it you can run on it.

Time warp has some awesome footage of Oobleck.


You could also make lip gloss.

vegetable shortening and Kool aid

or Vaseline and Kool Aid or cocoa powder

Janet- Good luck with the teeth. Enjoy the trip to Ohio, I would love to go to Cleveland, but I would need to go to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Kristine- I hope the car gets fixed with not much cost

It is icing here. Who knows what will happen.

Biggest Loser is on, they already have an ambulance on its way.

Wow, thanks. I really had no idea on the starch, I would have been looking in the baking aisle!!!

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

This darn antibiotic is kicking my butt, I can't wait until Friday when I'll be done. I've been on it now since the Monday before Christmas. It is giving me wicked heartburn or what feels like heartburn. I swear the pill gets stuck in my esophagus and then radiates this burning pain through my chest. UGH.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Yeah, what she said!!

 

[tink2020]

An Ohio trip, huh? Really, if you're going to do an Ohio zoo, you've chosen the wrong one...

Speaking of trips -- Tom, when are you guys visiting JJ's?!

 

[my3princes]

I'm going to watch the rest of biggest loser then head to bed. We probably won't have school, but I want to keep myself on a more restful schedule. Have a great evening.

I hope you can work it out. I know a week isn't really long enough, but I keep telling Robyn that a short trip is better than NO trip. Especially when you get to see your friends!

Can he use you, or the DDA, as a source?

Nope. BUT that EasyBib website is AMAZING!! OMG! You type in the ISBN number of the book and POOF! it puts it in the bibliography! It was like MAGIC! It will also "auto cite" a website!

I refuse to diet. Cake and ice cream sounds fabulous!

I really like organic yogurt. We don't have any, but I like it.

Ugh! I know that burning, even though I am not on antibiotics! Just a few more days.
I know, I know, you MIGHT be able to do WDW in August. But I really WANT you to do WDW in August, even if it is a short trip! Try really hard, OK?

 

[Tammi67]

Did I not warn you!?

I don't know! Probably after we get back from our trip. That way we will have something else to look forward to!

Even more fun!!!
