3Rd Grade Girl Activities for at Home

What would be a good activity for third grade girls that we could do totally at home? There would be up to 12 girls. I could get one or two moms to help me drive them home from school and do crafts or games. It would be more of a making friends/fun day.It is not for a birthday. We want to foster them getting along and getting to know each other. It would last 3 hours maximum.

What to Do with the Piles and Piles of School Artwork?!

I'm desperately trying to get a handle on the chaos in my house that has gotten out of hand since my fourth baby was born in September. I am able to organize most things pretty efficiently, but the one thing I have never been able to figure out how to deal with is the artwork and school papers that come home every day. Now I have 2 kids in preschool, so they are coming home with completed cut and paste exercises, paper bag hand puppets, painted masterpieces, and a ton of projects that relate to the current season or theme of the week. ...

Bored 14 Month Old -

Hi Moms, I am starting to think my daughter is getting bored during the day. What are some things I can do to help make the day better for her? Sadly there is one problem, I have a really bad back and cannot stand or walk for long periods of time and have a hard time taking her places on my own. My husband is home 3 days out of the week so if its on those days I can take her out.We cannot afford daycare so that is out of the question. I was thinking about maybe a swing out side and a little baby pool. But what else is there to do? I...

What to Do About the Bully

My daughter has had a problem with a certain girl at school for 2 years now. They are both in 2nd grade. I have talked to the principle about the issues and thought it had been resolved but the little girl keeps seeking my daughter out to make fun of her clothes, hair, shoes etc... The problem is is that the little girls mom is an employee at the school. The little girl was suppose to get detention but that some how slipped through the cracks and she never did serve it and she knows it. She tells my daughter that all her mom has to do is...

Activities for 18 Month Old

Ok, so i was wondering what kind of activities i can do with my 18 month old, Mia. She is very active, and with the cold weather, she is going stir-crazy. I am so tired of just popping in a Dora DVD or reading to her. I want something different. I work full time so on my days off, i feel like a bad momma cause there isn't anything that i can think of to do with her. I live in Tulsa. Any advice would be great.

Having Friends Over?

So basically my question is this: Will we ever get to a point where I feel comfortable having my children's friends over? A little background: I am a SAHM to five children. My SO and I met just over 4 years ago. I already had a son (now6) he had three girls (now 5,8,9), together we had one girl (now 3). Well, now four of the five are in elementary school and have lots of friends. I'm wondering how many other families just don't really do the friend thing. Part of my problem is our house is never company ready, as you can imagine...

23 Month Old Super Emotional in the Morning

My daughter is almost 23 months old and lately has been waking up very emotional in the mornings. She cries and cries for anywhere from 15-45 mins. She only calms down if I pick her up and hold her but I have to be standing up and holding her. Otherwise she starts crying again. And sometimes even holding her doesnt calm her down. She is gettting at least 12 hours of sleep so I know she isnt still tired. She used to wake up and be excited and happy and immediately start playing with our dogs. Now its just drama in the morning. Anyone else...

Just Informed My Son Is "Hyperactive" or "High Energy"

I just attended my son's kindergarten parent/teacher conference. He is 5, almost 6 years old. Only a few minutes into the meeting, his teacher mentioned he was "hyperactive". During the rest of the meeting, she used the term "high energy". Academically, he is right where he should be. I have always known my son is very active, he plays hard. There are also alot of times when he is content to play with his action figures in his room or out back for long periods of time. He can make leaves and even Halloween candy "action figures" and...

What to Do About Son Acting Out in School

My son started all-day kindergarten this year, and all sorts of issues have arisen since he began. He is normally HIGHLY independent, but also tends to be a very happy boy, cheery, excited about everything. But in just a few months he's started acting out in class, on the playground, and even on the bus. Yesterday he said the S-word in class, and even tried to get a classmate to say it. He was also sat down in P.E. yesterday three times for misbehaving. The weird thing is, he's pretty happy at home (although on days like these he comes...
