They got some great deals going on for speed week going on..
Wish had the time to take advantage of it tho.I will be watching it on TV tho!!

... especially if you got a great deal. Unfortunately for us, Disney is a better deal with our AP discounts so that's where we stay.

Its gonna be right about the same price of my Disney trip. So no dining plan, but nicer hotel room.

1/2 of Orlando?

enjoy

I know right? Hopefully a lot of people will just be doing day trips to US/IOA so it won't affect the EP line much.

Evening all! I just watched another thrilling episode of Let's Make A Deal from 1975...no one won the big deal valued at $9,400.00 and included a $7,000.00 Pontiac GrandVille convertible. Oh well...it's always exciting.

I know right? Been seeing a lot of people who have a lot of posts on the Disboards that I 've never seen over here. Universal must be very happy with their promotion. Ka-ching Ka-ching

Good Sunday morning homies

we have a HEAT wave going on here........woo hoo......

Rose, lots of kids grew up with limited or no parent involvement. that is how it was years ago. my brothers and i had limited interaction with the parental units and turned out fine. you'll find out, there are really a lot of people in the world that did not have supportive family units growing up.

what you do is change your life to what is best for you. once you have kids, you don't have to repeat the way the parental units reared the family.
you have the option of not repeating the style you were raised.

Yes, we did have a heat wave here yest! Still warm today so far

Mac, I totally agree with what you are saying Back when my mom was growing up, there wasn't parental involvement either. Also DH growing up, his parents were home alot more than mine were, and his parents didn't get involved much. His parents did social stuff(social drinking, playing cards) with their friends of the family.
I'm guessing whenever the PTA pushed for more parental involvement, that's when parents got involved alot more with their kids' activities. That's just my guess.
For me personally, there was/is a reason I'm a SAHM, esp with Chrissy's medical needs. And Matthew's needs as well.

I hope you feel better soon!

We really enjoy going on all the trips. I love music, and enjoyed the sports too that my kids have been involved in too. Plus, I believe this has been a wonderful experience for our little guy too, exposing him to all sorts of different places and people. Wouldn't it be funny if we've all crossed paths and not even known it?

Thanks, Sharky
Got rid of my headache yest afternoon and went to church last night.

That would be funny if we crossed paths, tho I don't know where you live

Hi guys! Dropping in with some good news for a change! Eric went to his regional MathCounts competition yesterday (for 6-8th graders). Last year his team placed 4th overall in the team competition, and he placed 6th individually. This year his team won by a large margin!

They do all the written testing (sprint - speed - round, target - harder questions - round, and team round), then announce the individual & team rankings. The top 10 individuals get to go to the countdown round, which is kind of like a game show. Well, after the testing, Eric was second overall, and the other boy from his school (and there were 27 schools from around the area represented there) was first!

So the way it works, is that number 10 goes against number 9, then the winner (first person to solve three of the problems that go up on the screen and buzz in with the right answer first) goes against 8, and so on all the way to number 1. You can only move down one space, but could theoretically move up from 10 to 1 if you beat everyone else. So first Eric went up against the winner from 3 vs. whoever - I think the actual winner was originally around 5 or 6. They ended up tied at 2-2, with the next question being the deciding one. Eric got that one and moved up to play his classmate for number 1!

Eric & his classmate in the hot seats:

Well, Eric had a lot of confidence that if he got that far, that he could beat the other boy (who he knows well and actually is very involved in Rubik's cubes too like Eric). Well, Eric got 3 questions in a row to win the competition!

Eric getting his first place trophy:

The team with their first place team trophies:

Eric with both his trophies:

Now he goes to the state competition in Madison in a month. Last year he placed 9th there. The top 4 winners from state get an all-expense-paid trip to the MathCounts Nationals, which this year just conveniently happen to be at the Swan/Dolphin in Orlando in May! (It changes every year). So I need everyone to start throwing pixie/mummy or whatever dust to help him get in that top 4! (Yeah, yeah, so I want it more than he does! )
