Every Tuesday. Yep, it's homeschooled kids. There were oh, 6-7 kids in it and 2 of them were boys Joshua's age!

My sister put my nephew in gymnastics at a fairly early age after his publik skool teachers suggested drugs to calm down his natural energy. He was a natural too, did gymnastics all the way through high school and ended up getting a scholarship to a university on their gymnastics team. Kept it up through university and made 2nd place in some NCAA finals several years ago. Don't know where he got his skills (certainly not from my side of the family!!), but it is a great sport. Congratulations!! LSA

I looked up that thread you referred to... it was actually somewhat horrifying to read.

Not the kind of thing to increase my desire to stick around FR.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I'm sorry your second surgery didn't go as well as the first. Will be thinking of you and hoping that it all turns out all right!

Joshua is just so fearless! To come around the corner and see him clear up at the top of the hall with his head pressed up against the ceiling (you know, with one hand and foot on either side of the hall walls) is rather unnerving (I made him promise that he wouldn't do it without me spotting him!) And flipping into the pool doing a backward handstand on the side of the pool (softsided pool, mind you) was extremely nerve-wracking (he could only do it with me standing there and only when he was showing someone.)

Don't stay ~or~ leave for them.

Stay because Corin and I love you :~D

see him clear up at the top of the hall with his head pressed up against the ceiling

He didn't happen to have an encounter with a radioactive spider when he was younger, did he?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

The folks here in the Hobbit Hole are pretty much the only reason I stick around.

It's a fine fellowship, indeed.

[HairOfTheDog]

We're better than a kick in the pants. :~D

[JenB]

Yeah, we're nice!

Does Rose not like us any more? Cuz I've missed seeing her around and I need to bug her into doing NaNo with us. I'm gonna bug until I get more people than last year.

[2Jedismom]

Heh!! It's a thought!

[2Jedismom]

Or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I think most of us are also better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. ;~D

[2Jedismom]

Well, we ate the crock pot meal...it was fantastic. Joshua actually said "This tastes so good I could cry." LOL!!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

She's been spending a lot of time sending out resumes, plotting her story, and playing Age of Empires.

I think she plans to do the NaNo thing.

Hey - this is a family thread.

[HairOfTheDog]

~wonders why she posted that to Bear instead of 2J...~

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I was kinda scratching my head about that too...

[HairOfTheDog]

I got my futtons bangled.
