Can anyone help Cassie???
"My pictures keep posting sideways on my blog. It just started happening, I have never had this problem before. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have a remedy?"

Lunchtime Blues

My friend Michelle sent me this question and it is something I have been thinking about for a while now as well. I am SOOO bored of lunchtime. Oh and packing school lunches. One day Tyson said to me, "Mom you put the same thing in my lunch two days in a row. You weren't being very thoughtful, were you?" I suppose I wasn't :)
Here is Michelle's question.
"I would like to know what other moms are serving their kids for lunches. I'm looking for some alternatives to pb&j and quesadillas to shake things up a bit. What have they had success with? What do their kids seem to really love?" If every person reading this just writes at least one thing we will have quite the list!
(Oh and check out Michelle's super fun blog http://funonadime.blogspot.com/ for inexpensive, creative, and very fun activities to do with your children.)

Chinese Jump Rope

Hello out there! I know, I know. I've been a complete blog slacker recently. We have just been having nice weather and I have been working on lots of other projects. To be honest, my attention span for this blog is lacking a bit right now. I've been doing this blog for almost a whole year now and it just has never became as useful as I was hoping. In my mind I visualized it as somewhere we could post our questions and get tons of responses and ideas and solutions and it just hasn't quite panned out like that as of yet. Anyway, I am trying to decide right now what to do with the blog. Here are my options. 1-Keep going like I'm going. 2-Put in a lot of work to attract readers so we can (hopefully) get a lot more comments and ideas and increase the usefulness of the blog. or 3-Take a break for a while until I get my motivation back. 


In the meantime, my cousin sent me this question a few weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting it. Told you I am a slacker! Lets reach back into the recesses of our brain, back to the time of recess and playing with the neighborhood kids and see if we can help her out. 


"I have all girls, they are, sometimes, fascinated at games I remember playing when I was young.  I loved playing Chinese Jump Rope, but my mother memory has failed me, I don't remember much.  The best instructions I have seen have been on these websites.

I also remember doing regular (feet side by side), wide (feet apart) and skinny (the elastic being in only one foot). Does anyone remember anything else?  Mores rules, order, etc.?"
