I do not understand why anyone would stick their head in the sand and ignore it.
:hb: :gah: :hb:
Hope you & Abby are both feeling better soon. :huggy:
Try a neti pot or sinus rinse; or try some horseradish or wasabi to burn through that sinus congestion. For you, not Abby :giggles:
We are scheduled to close on the old house on Friday morning! I'm tentatively optimistic. This is the third closing date we've had; the last time it got cancelled at 4:30 PM the day before it was scheduled. I'll believe it when I see it, but it could happen Friday. woot?
Is is to much to ask that the elementary school lets me know if DS5 has morning or afternoon kindergarten?? I mean school starts on the 23rd.
Last week they told me they would mail a postcard this week. Gee thanks. Good thing I HAVE nothing to do everyday..............
WOOT!!!!!!!! :hiphip::hiphip::hiphip:
KG--We took all of our kids camping around 6 weeks old, and that was in a tent with the first four. By the time I was pregnant with #5 we knew it was time to upgrade to a trailer. So #5 and #6 were also camping at 4-6 weeks old but in the trailer. We loved tent camping with the babies. We have a Kelty Mantra tent that was plenty big for setting up all our beds and a pack and play. By next summer your baby will be perfect age to in one of the Kelty backpack carriers and hit the trails. Don't let having a baby slow down or stop the adventures that you and DH love so much. It just takes some creative planning and readjusting. We just got back from UP, watched the ferry heading out to Isle Royale. So pretty up there. Would live to take the kids backpacking at some point but it's going to have to wait until they can all carry a decent size pack.
so not ready for the scdhool year to begin. DDs bus comes at 6:28 even though school starts at 7:40 (it's a mile down the street) and there's one bus stop for the high school on the other side of the subdivision. It's going to take us a while to get into a routine.
I'll bet they loved the train and seeing everything at the time, though! Did you camp in Glacier and bring all your camping equipment on the train?
I'm back from the horse show! Can I just say it was the greatest show of my entire life!!! I had so much fun and was not getting home until 1 or 3 am and back out there by 8. Ha for me that is really amazing.
I met a bunch of new people and talked to everyone. Everyone kept saying how great it was to see me happy, relaxed, and couldn't get over how I had come out of my shell since last year. lol
Lets just say I came home with 2 phone #'s and an open invitation to go see them any time. And you know what in 1 month when this is final I think I will take a road trip out of state.
thanks!! but shhhhhhh don't let them hear you.. I don't want to jinx it...
thanks so much Valerie! that's very encouraging. I think my biggest reservation is I don't want to do any kind of once-in-a-lifetime trip when the kid is too young to remember it. We will start out with things closer to home.
I know it totally depends on the kid, but I've seen two kids as young as 8 and 10 backpacking in Yellowstone with their dads (separate trips, different kids). Both kids were packing their own bear spray. One of them warned me to watch out for a certain kind of snake that lives in the rocky canyon we were hiking through; the other was giving other adults a lesson on the difference in flight patterns and identification from the ground of osprey and bald eagles as we all waited for Lone Star geyser to erupt :cartwheel:
feeling a bit sad....found out we need to have 6 trees cut down. We already cut 2 ourselves because of the storm from July 1st and now 2 of the 6 are also a result of the storm, and the 4 others are because we got hit with the Emerald Ash borer epidemic. My lovely shade trees........... this makes ten we have lost since we moved here 7 years ago. out:
We did not camp in Glacier. Brought both sets of our parents with and stayed in a few of the historic lodges. But we had so much gear on the train, suitcases, two backpack kid carriers, 2 carseats, pack n play. Could have easily brought camping gear onto the train.
A place to debate everything and anything!
