Just need to assemble the kids baskets tonight...That will be a task because all the goodies that I have been accumulating are hidden in different places, some of which I don't remember Roll
Same here! I know I picked up some Easter egg dye kits but have no idea where they are stashed.

I had so much Easter clearance crap that I sent off a bunch in my niece's bday box last month...a month and a half late on the gift but a month and a half early on Easter. Hide I tried to make up for my tardiness on the bday with GCs. laugh out loud My sister is happy that all she needs to do is pick up a bag of candy, with the GCs of course. Roll

did it have all wheel or 4 wheel drive? gas mileage is always lower.


it was a 4WD but my friend has the basic front wheel drive, no AWD and her gas mileage sucks as well. highway may be 'ok' but if you are in city driving a lot, it stinks.

Found the Easter crap...3 large Target bags (think bags they put big toys in). I also found that we have 500 sleeping bags Roll 3 bags of new towels from T, a stash of Cascade I forgot about and about 20 boxes of Glad trashbags. laugh out loud I need to go in the basement more often, unfortunately, my resell crap is in front of our stash in cabinets and bins. It looks like Target vomit down there.

i really commend you for starting early and making the effort.
Yikes on 2 sets of twins!!

With my oldest, I was totally on top of it. I was a single parent for many years, so I had to be. I didn't want to be *that* parent with my kid running around like a hellion.

With my 2nd one, DH didn't quite have the early training ideas that I had, so after discussion and his insistence, we delayed training. We've paid for that ever since! She's not completely horrible, but there are definite things that are much harder now because we didn't do them earlier - i.e. sitting when told, immediate obedience without questioning, etc... but, we'll get there - she's still young enough to correct.

Mavis is being trained much like my first one and coming along well. She's learned to lay still during diaper changes (not a big deal on most, but there are those certain dipes that just require letting mom do the dirty work!!), and she's learned when we say "No" or "Don't touch" - that it is exactly what we mean. She's my super fast "I want to stick my finger in the light socket" kid, so we have got to make sure we can stop her from doing stuff before we can reach her - even with her cast on, that girl can move!!

Of course, consistency is ultimate. Let one thing go one time, and you are right back to square one. Oy...

I would suspect that even now your friend could turn around a lot of the behavior and attitude, but it would take some extreme "tomato staking" and a LOT of work. I know it's hard as a parent with one kid at any age - let alone two sets of twins! That would be some major commitment on her end. I have discovered that many folks (and even myself sometimes) are not up to making that kind of determined commitment.

Seriously, though, I'm not that far behind. I just have some laundry to finish up... dipes in the washer and a pile on my bed that needs folding. Yay!!

Not a single person. I did have some one ask if I worked for a dentist because I had so much toothpaste and brushes and floss for sale. Whee

No idea about the Qs, but damn, I wish I could rep you in here for your super multi-tasking abilities.

GS went GREAT!!! We made just under $600 and about 90% of the crap is gone. I had a guy to works at a homeless shelter come and buy ALL my soap and deodorant and about 1/2 my toothpaste. He gave me his card and I told him if there are any H&B items left tomorrow I'll call him and he can come and pick them up. I also might call him when we are living in the apt. if I get an good deals and have no room to store them.

In other news... DH had lunch with our #1 builder choice today. We got their bid yesterday and it was just a little higher than what we want to pay, so they're going to work to bring it down and include some of upgrades that we want at the same time. I'm VERY optimistic that we'll have something decided by the beginning of next week. Whee

Awesome on your sale! High Five

I've learned that I need to be able to nurse and do a myriad of other things since Noah likes to graze all day. I just got done eating a piece of cheese pizza standing in the kitchen and cleaning up JJ and his high chair after lunch all while nursing.

Whee That's Me!! woot TY!

and just my toughts on the STFC thing. It all started from the Ikea commercial where a woman is running out of the store with all of fabulous finds at reasonable prices and feels like she just robbed the place - all knowing she did not. I love our expression, as well as bug and windsheild.

Guess it is just a TCC insider thing, it takes some 'splainnn for the newbs.

I have discovered that many folks (and even myself sometimes) are not up to making that kind of determined commitment.
and a lot of money. last summer she told me older dd did pretty bad in math on her report card. last semester i tried to get her to work w/ her kids using worksheets you can get free online. i even took them to the public library every wk for at least a month getting hw tutoring from the volunteer highschool students and did 3 worksheets w/ them every wk.

well, it's april and on sunday she asked me if she should hire a private tutor for $50/hr = $200/month. she missed all the group tutoring programs b/c the 3rd grade standardized test is in a few wks.

this summer she enrolled them in an academic summer camp at the state college. wait a minute, she made it out to be so expensive. it's $400/wk. that's the same price as the most expensive wks for our township summer camp which is way cheaper than private camp.

anyway, as you can see, she's busy playing catch-up academically. i can assure you, she is also catching up behavior-wise also. one time i saw the younger one running around in my backyard w/ the neighbor boys in short-shorts and a halter top when it was 50 degrees outside and we still had snow on the ground. i made her go home and change. we found out later through her sister that her grandmother who watches them after school didn't know she went out like that b/c she changed in the garage. in other words, she knew it was wrong and was being sneaky.

now that they are older, it is so much more difficult.

Nono it is so tempting but if at all possible, do not just do it for them. you have to train them very young. my sil, does everything for my nephews so they don't know how to do anything. i can't remember exactly how old they were but one summer a friend of hers whose kids were around the same age would take care of them after summer camp. she had to teach them how to cut up their meat b/c my sil would always do it for them. she told sil, no way, she has 3 kids, they have to cut up their own meat.

nephew is a junior in hs. last yr i had to teach him how to light a match b/c you cannot go thru life carrying around a chemistry class striker.

his brother basically only knows how to cook scrambled eggs and only w/ a plastic fork the way his friend taught him. oh yeah, and throw pizza in the microwave. he will be going to college in 3 yrs.

Oh no, no, I definitely let them clean up..I help them do it but they have to put stuff away..A friend of mine called so we got late going to P, ditched the cleaning and went to P, after coming back they were tired and went to nap...That is why I was speculating if I should just do it or wait for them to get up...
