Yes, they really are that blue...it's amazing...especially with her strawberry blond hair. I had bright blue eyes like that when I was a lad, but they, much like my hair, have greyed over the years.
She and I are so much alike in almost every way, it drives Mrs. Hamfist absolutely nuts.
And, she's already a Tolkein fan, to boot! I'm teaching her all the character's names, and she's already taken quite a liking to Pippin. Towards the end, when "the little ones" are captured by the Uruk-Hai, she'll wave at the TV and say "Bye-bye Pippin! Bye-bye Murree! See later!"
I could talk all day about her...she's such a little Daddy's girl. LOL

Can't homeschoolers in your area participate in the sports program of your local school? There are some districts that allow that, after all you're still paying property taxes to support that monstrosity, er, I mean, your local school.

Shunned! Surely you jest... I've lived in a cave for 500 years all by myself. Why do you think there is two of me. I had to talk to someone.
And I didn't do anything you weren't thinking of doing, Master Dwarf. I just beat you to the punch. So, don't be angry at poor, pitiful Smeagol.
And I'm too cute to be shunned.
To: RosieCotton
LOL!

You said nothing in 36410. That was Corin's post.Whoops! You're entirely right Rosie.
Corin, I meant scratch what I said in 36411.
Yeesh...these people! They think they can homeschool their children when they can't even COUNT!?! ;-)
Sorry, I'll work on my counting after I be getting my grammar right. ;^)

...he might not even balk at the idea? Right now I still think he would. Life is chaotic at the Stormhands household right now. It's not that we haven't considered it, but I think if we tried it right now he'd really resent it.
Of course we know it's ulitmately our decision. But I'm not sure it's a battle we're ready (or willing) to fight.

Can't homeschoolers in your area participate in the sports program of your local school? Sports aren't the issue with the homeschooling thing. Right now he plays through an association, not the school.
I don't want to drag this out. I know you guys are sold on homeschooling. And quite frankly, I think that's where we're headed with the younger one - he turns three in February and already knows most of the alphabet and can recognize his name.
It's something we're considering. But right now the dynamics in our family are just wrong for homeschooling Corin Jr.

Did somebody say Lard!?! Here's a picture of Elrond and family back when the world was young...

Careful g'nad! Have a good day!
Get the bad guy, if you happen to see him!
Morning everyone!
To: ItsOurTimeNow
What a gorgeous little blue-eyed Hamfist you have there! Thanks for sharing the pic...
To: ItsOurTimeNow; RosieCotton; Paul Atreides
Yes, they really are that blue...it's amazing...Now HERE'S some blue eyes...
Paul, I watched this version of Dune last night. I read the book when I was 10-12 years old so it has been about 23 years. I don't remember the book well enough to know if this version was faithful to Herbert's work. Next trip to the library I am going to check Dune out and give it another reading.
What is your opinion of this film?

Supposedly 9 of the 13 servers were down for an hour. 9 of what 13 servers? Am I supposed to know?
Good morning Corin!

So...she prefers the hobbit guys to [at least those particular] human guys? So she's intelligent as well as lovely!

To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
