A Birthday & A Couple Movie Reviews

Bringing purchase cialis http://djpaulkom.tv/im-dat-raw-ft-snow-tha-product-video/ with a nitrate prescription can result in a sudden unintended elevation than the normal determined measurement.
Today this handsome guy turned 29! We aren’t ones for HUGE birthday celebrations (especially for us adults) but we did manage to squeeze some celebrating in…

First thing this morning Titan fueled up for some birthday shopping with a little Boo Berry cereal! (Definitely not a healthy breakfast but we let it slide because what’s more fun than Halloween cereal in the month of October?! It’s all about the little things at this age…)

After breakfast it was off to do some shopping. I always like to take Ti to the Dollar Store and let him pick out his own gift for Dad. 🙂

Success!

Time for a quick wrap job! (And, no, Titan doesn’t sit in the front seat. He just wanted to make sure the gift was wrapped before we got home. And, he wanted to do it all by himself. Naturally…) 😉

Present time!

I loved that each thing Titan selected had some sort of thought behind it. For example, he knows Broc loves gummi bears and he figured he didn’t have enough money for an actual video game…so he got the next best thing – a Pinball Game! Love the way his little 4 1/2 year old mind works!

After shopping and presents we dropped Titan off at his cousins and then headed to the Megaplex Theaters at Jordan Commons for a double feature with my mom. (She was VERY nice to take us so we could get into the movies for FREE! An awesome employee perk that she very generously shares with us whenever we are in town.) We saw The Saratov Approach and Gravity on the IMAX in 3D. I have to admit that out of the two, The Saratov Approach was definitely my favorite. It was very well done and an incredible story! (It was also fun see a good family friend acting and playing a small part in it!) 🙂

Gravity in my opinion was a waste of two hours. The special effects were pretty cool, but past that, there wasn’t really any story line or real plot. I think the only thing that even remotely saved this movie was that it was on the IMAX and in 3D. Had the movie just been in a basic theater, I’m pretty sure we would have walked out. (Note: I should note here that I am not a fan of movies where it’s just one catastrophe after another in order to show off more special effects. And that’s exactly what this movie was!) After the movie all three of us agreed that it’s a movie we wouldn’t even have rented. It was free though and nice to enjoy some adult time.

And last but not least, we enjoyed some food from the food court at Jordan Commons. I usually get the same thing every time we go but this time I branched out and got the Cowboy Salad from the Deli. If you find yourself at a Megaplex Theater where this salad is an option – get it! It was SO yummy and a great alternative to all the not so healthy options like their cheesy bread or popcorn. 🙂

PS: I also got the chance to see Austenland last night with my mom and I LOVED it. Definitely worth going to. In fact, it makes a perfect Girls Night Out! The movie was very well cast and it definitely gave me a good laugh! So if you need a girls night movie, choose Austenland. And if you need a date night movie, go with The Saratov Approach! 🙂

The online driving educations are continuously bettered to fulfill the sexual need by not achieving strong erection and maintaining that erection is caused in men because there is not enough blood is flowing into the penis thereby preventing an erection. viagra canada no prescription During male sexual dysfunction, men’s body circulates deficient blood to the male sexual free levitra samples region. Occasionally, this type of strike results purchase cialis icks.org in unconsciousness. They also help enhance your sexual interest purchase sildenafil icks.org which is something recommended medicines cannot do.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I wanted to pop on real quick today and share a new favorite teaching tool we have in our house.

The other day I was shopping at Target and I spotted the Crayola Dry-Erase Learning Flash Cards – Numbers & Counting on clearance for only $2.78. (Reg. $3.99) Now, I’ll be the first to admit, that’s not a super awesome clearance price, but I have been focusing more on Ti’s writing lately and thought something new like this would help excited him about practicing his numbers and letters again. Plus, after researching and looking for similar products online, I realized $2.78 isn’t bad at all.

So glad I grabbed this pack of cards when I saw them because I was right about them helping keep Ti interested! Titan LOVES using these new cards to practice writing his numbers.

And, I’ve come to find out, they are totally worth the $2.78. In fact, now that we have tried them out, I would grab them even at full price! (I was unable to find these exact cards for sale online (I think they are an older version) you can purchase a similar set though that is monster themed on Amazon for $9.07)

I really like these cards because they are fun and colorful, they go up to 25, they are easily taken on trips or thrown in your purse for on the go learning, they provide lots of opportunities to practice writing the numbers in different ways and they still look brand new after being wiped off! (Something that doesn’t happen all the time with dry erase products.)

Plus, the fact that they are dry erase, allows the little man to really easily start over if he thinks his writing isn’t good enough or if he’s messed up. (Yes, we have a little perfectionist on our hands!) 🙂

I also like that they have some cards with mini math questions like this.

…and this…

…and all of these!

These cards helped me see that Titan is much better at figuring out the equations than he is at writing the actual numbers. This is because 1) He doesn’t quite see the importance yet of being able to write in the very technology based world that he see around him and 2) He gets VERY frustrated when his little hands and body don’t do exactly what he wants them to do. We are working on teaching him that A LOT of things, like handwriting, take practice and time, but that’s one elephant we are going to have to take on a bite at a time. Baby steps…baby steps… 🙂

In the mean time, we are using fun tools, like these cards, to help keep him interested and to keep the learning fun. Which is really what is should be all about at this stage any way! Learning through fun!

What fun tools or methods have you used to help your kids practice their handwriting? If you have any other great products or idea, I’d love to hear about them!

This last Saturday I took Titan to a Build & Grow Event at Lowe’s. At the event, Ti was able to build his very own Spooky Stacker!

He got to practice following directions and using a hammer. (And I got to practice moving my fingers really fast!)

Then, he got to practice his fine motor skills by placing all the stickers on.

I loved how focused he was. He was so worried about getting everything “just right”.

Last but not least, he got to show it to a Lowe’s employee for a quick “inspection”.

I guess it passed! 😉

We had never been to a Lowe’s Build and Grow Event before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Overall, I’d say it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back. In fact, Ti was asking as we were walking out when the next one was. (Side note: If you are wondering how long the events are, we were in and out in about 30 minutes.)

Ti loved building something & getting his very own badge and certificate and I loved that he was learning while having fun. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the event was also free! (They even gave him a pair of googles & a badge to add to his very own Lowe’s apron! Not bad at all for a free event!)

If you would like to attend a Lowe’s Build and Grow Event, the next event is being held November 9th at a most Lowe’s locations. You can sign up online at the Lowe’s site. You will want to note that spots fill up fast! Like, really fast. So to get a spot, make sure to sign up ASAP! (If you miss out on this class, it looks as though they hold one class per month. So make sure to try for the next class in December or January.)

PS: I am not being paid or sponsored in any way to write this post. Just wanted to share an event that we had a really positive experience with. If Lowe’s would like to contact me about future posts though, totally open to that possibility! 🙂
