Re: Friday Randoms
Thank God!
We bought a patio set at Meijer yesterday - so excited to be able to eat on our deck this year
Have fun! We're going on Tuesday. I always make DS hold still when he has a snack, first for safety, but also for easy clean up. Kids drop things. I'd rather see where all the Goldfish crackers are and pick them up when he's done than have him strew them around a public place and get crunched everywhere. I've never planned our snacks around other peoples' food allergies unless I know for sure that he was going to be around someone allergic.

Some tips
Go early if possible and dress in layers. It gets HOT in there.
Ask her if mom if they go there a lot to playoutdoors. You may want to explain to her that since it is so cold outside, you won't be going outside. Or bring warm clothes and tell her will go out for 20 minutes or however long. There are some activities one of the buildings in the children's garden.
Explain the rules to her before you go in - keep them few and simple. She must stay by you at all times, listen to you, and mind her manners. Normally I tell the girls to use their indoor voices. If she doesn't listen then she will have to sit down until she is ready to listen.
Give her notice in advance when you are about to end on activity so she is prepared.
For snack time, bring her downstairs. There are tables and chairs down there and she can look at the turtle tank.
Have fun!
I'm sure you guys have seen this already, but it seems fitting for the thread...

Happy Friday all!
Wendy, you're both going to have a great time!
I had the pleasure of viewing the Friday youtube video this week. It looks like a tampon commercial to me.
Hah! You're right, it does!
I don't have Sprint by I saw a story about this problem on the local news recently.
that is so adorable! I think I do have some somewhere . . .
You can't do real flower due to USDA regulations. However bright color clothing might help, along with scented, so maybe some scented lotion. Also, standing still helps, hence why no butterfly will ever land on my children.
My sister and my friend were both able to get out of their contracts with no penalty because of the issues they have been having since December.
Good luck!
Well they wouldn't let me out b/c the issue is suppose to be fixed today. They did credit me $50 (a month free for me). I think I'm still going to cancel tomorrow. with the $50 credit I'll only end up paying $20 to get out of the contract instead of $70. They did say if the issues doesn't get fix and I still have problems then I could get out of the contract, but I'm not sure I want to wait and see? Thoughts?
I would definitely call tomorrow and see if you can get out of your contract. Why keep business with a bad company with bad service?
Maybe some light scented body spray?
Makes sense. One of the volunteers there was telling me about when she brought her grandaughter and they used a real flower. Those wacky volunteers...
I was balancing checkbook and I was 2.42 off. I hate that!
Gasp!!! That is one rebel of a volunteer. I guess techinally you could bring one in, you just couldn't take it out. Although you would have to smuggle it in and probably get yelled at. Ha ha!
