we've been watching Voyager too! My brother taped ALL the episodes for us, because we don't have cable. Guess I'm glad now that we only get a blip of a commercial now & then! He's also taping Deep Space Nine & Enterprise for us (along with Myth Busters)!
Dh also likes Enterprise and he likes "ST: The Next Generation". He never could get into DS9. I've seen Mythbusters a few times and for as interesting as those are, my favorite show on the Discovery Channel is "How It's Made"

Nate recently finished watching the entire Voyager series from beginning to end! He isn't a DS:9 fan so we haven't done those, but the library in yakima had a lot of TNG that we watched when we lived there.

We check out the Star Trek DVD's from the library for Dh to watch. Unfortunately, our library doesn't have a full series set. So it's sort of sparse. They do have plent of "I Love Lucy" which we check out for the Fridays that my MIL is with us.
Lately, I've been getting "Green Acres" on DVD for Dd as she just LOVES that show.

We started school last week. It is going pretty good. I have also taken up running (thanks to Hazel). I am doing amazingly good for someone who has NEVER ran before! I have even lost 3 pounds! i am thrilled! On top of that, we bought an old canoe last weekend and I have been out in it 3x since. This is turning out to be a wonderful summer after all.
The boys are out blueberry picking right now. I hope they have a good time.
I am making a Phineas and Ferb cake right now for Timothy's birthday that we are celebrating today. He is also getting a new drum and we made him a workshop for his projects.

This is going to be VERY hard to wean him to his own bed and from breast feeding.
You could continue to co-sleep for a while.

Casa Misa Home Cookin' restaurant!
We won't be starting the new school year until the week after Labor Day. Dh is taking his vacation during the week of Labor Day and when he's home, it's hard to get any schoolwork done, so I just decided to wait until he was back at work

I hear ya peculiar!!!! I try and stay away from the other folders.
Okay Jen... any tips on how to get him to sleep without breast feeding? Once I get him weaned, I wouldn't mind co-sleeping. But I don't think I can co-sleep again until he is weaned. He lifts my shirt and practically demands it. I tell him "no" and it works for a minute or two, but he gets pretty persistant.

LOL, I am not an expert. When I weaned Nate at night he screamed for two whole nights! And that was only so short a time because he'd cried every afternoon for a week when I day-weaned him, lol.
However, first I want to say that your dentist gave you advice, not an order. Secondly, I would actually still do the naptime and bedtime weanings and just cut out the after-he's-already-been-asleep feedings (is he still cluster-feeding at night and not eating much in the daytime?). If nursing is actually causing the decay, then it's the nursing when he's nearly asleep (and so he isn't swallowing) that is doing it. If the milk doesn't sit there on the teeth there shouldn't be a problem.
As for how to deny him...unfortunately it might just be very unhappy for both of you for a bit. I might offer more in the daytime to compensate...hard to say since I am not there!

Oh, totally forgot the rest of my answer, lol...
Well, with Schuyler, who of course I didn't nurse but still had to put to sleep, I had a four-poster bed, and I would lay down next to her, hook my toes around a post, and jiggle the bed. Unfortunately, I know catch myself jiggling the bed when I am the only one in it! LOL
Also, back pats or tummy rubs, stroking the forehead, and for Brandon, rubbing the feet, also worked for all three of mine.
And, I think when Nate was weaning I probably did a lot of, 'I'm so sorry, kiddo, but...' whining back! LOL
I also sang the 'night-night song' quite a lot for both of my kids. That's the lullaby from Peter Pan and for some reason they always wanted to hear it. Also you can repeat the bridge and chorus as many times as necessary, lol.
Sarah, I know what you mean, and I am so glad you are part of this forum.

So, what forum is 'problem' now?? Sometimes I like to go into them, just to see what it's about. Usually, people's opinions drain me, so I don't say in there long.

There was a conversation in Current Events that spawned hard feelings and a thread in Women Only.
A man, who I guess is my landlord's partner of sorts, came to my door. He wanted to hire Brandon. I told him Brandon was going to be gone for four months, so he took Nate instead, lol. He starts tomorrow morning at 9, helping refinish a house just like ours but on the other end of the block. He's getting paid well, too--six bucks an hour! Tomorrow is their 'trial day' and then if they are both happy, he'll be back at it next week.

I don't know who told the kids they should eat 3 times a day and have snacks to.
Or pre-teen son who thinks it is 6 meals a day and 27 snacks! LOL
Yeah, lots of convenience food, processed food, not good. Now I just need to hit the grocery store but have a headache for the second day in a row and don't even want to take a shower! Ick!

The other day I said, 'Oh, I just got hungry all of a sudden!' and Nate said, 'Yeah, that happens to me, too. Basically I get up in the morning and it hits me and it doesn't go away all day long!' LOL

I'm really ready for my son's bedtime to be here and for him to go to bed..........and it's only 12:35! This kid is full of questions, of which he knows about 99 percent of the answers already.
I received a letter from our local ESD saying that due to Ds's low test scores, that he'll need to be tested at the end of next year instead of waiting until the year after that. He has aspergers and he needs help that we really can't afford now. Dh won't be happy to be sure. If his test scores aren't at "grade level or at least one level higher then "you may be required to place his/her education under the supervision of a person holding a teaching license whom you have selected". Lovely!

I didn't know OR homeschool law was like that. How ridiculous. Do they take kids who are below grade level in public school and make them report to a homeschooler of their choice? Good grief.
