I got my mom to get me the gold jacks with the red ball... Pick Up Stix were fun, too. Ah, these games are classic!

We have a 'No electronics Mon-Thu' rule in the house (except only when they need it for homework) and on weekends, they each get max of 1 hour each. In the past, I let them 'earn' extra time during the week if they do worksheets. That was okay, but they would go through many worksheets and end up doing a lot of 'earned' screen time. We're back now to strictly unplugging Mon-Thu and it's just so much more fun for everyone (yes, there were complaints initially, but once they knew we were not going to change the rule, they quickly found other stuff to do). They played more with each other, read more, got creative with their toys, did lots of pretend play.... It was just so good overall, Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:14:49 +0000 http://www.buckeroomama.com/2014/06/bringing-back-old.html#IDComment846954826 http://www.buckeroomama.com/2014/06/almost-there.html#IDComment844975029 It is, isn't it? We always eat pineapple, but never really get to see how it looks before it gets 'picked.' Thanks for stopping by.

I figured if she saw me crying, it would make her feel even worse.

It always feels great whenever you're able to use up ingredients and not let them go to waste.

It is so easy to make.

It's those moments that I am working to overcome.

I don't know about shaving it all off though. I was advised to do it, but never did and J's hair is quite thick; so is Z's --even though, texture-wise, hers is much finer.
