Something awesome.
Another reason why I'm glad I went to school where there was no cafeteria, my mom made my lunch every day, and was aware of what I was eating and made it healthy. Mom FTW!

That requires parental responsibility from every parent. Unacceptable. It takes a village, ya know.
It does take a village, not a goverment-run-one-size-fits-all commune. My husband and I rely on our extended family, our neighbors, our pastors to help us in raising our children and in guiding them to be young men...

I call shenanigans on the "it takes a village" idea. First and foremost, it takes a FAMILY. Whether the family is nuclear or extended, it takes FAMILY. That covers the vast majority of children being raised. In the event these are not available (think slums and such), it takes the community.
If parents are not available, chances of proper rearing plummet. If extended family are not available, chances are even worse. If a child must rely on the community, chances get into the "slim" category.

^^^To some degree that's true, but I also think that your kids are influenced by those around them whether or not you call them family. If you think that the way that your child grows is not influenced by what he sees while he's on a play date with Johnny from down the street or riding in the car pool to soccer practice, then you are mistaken...People are different; families are different. It's important to show your kids that not everyone lives the same life with 1.7 siblings and a dog. If that's the life you are living, then it takes help from other families...
And believe it or not, sometimes your kids grow up to be teenagers and think that mom or dad don't know everything. If you don't have a "village" of other responsible people for your kids to turn to if they need them built up by then, you're in big trouble.

Back on topic...
Last night we were just sitting around relaxing and out of nowhere minisnick comes up to me and kisses my cheek. I asked him where did that come from (since it was out of the blue) and he answered "my mouth".

All depends on how you define "Family". You can limit your definition to biology alone, but I consider several neighbors and close friends as part of my "family". We have meals together, we share family events (like birthdays and anniversaries), we spend extended amounts of time together. Meanwhile, I spend very little time with my brother and sister (and their respective families), so while they are *technically* family, they don't influence my kids to the extent my neighbors and their kids do.
Don't get me wrong, I love my brother and sister and would do anything to help them, we just don't spend any time together now that we've established families of our own.

Tex Jr. still has another 1.5 weeks until he can get back to playing football after the wakeboarding-broken finger-surgery incident.
Looking forward to it. Feel sad that I'll only get to watch him play about 16 more games (this year and next year combined). Time flies.

^^^That's exactly what happened to Tex Jr, except his finger didn't come off and a fish didn't eat it...luckily, his skin kept it attached. I would show you the x-ray, but I can't upload photos anymore.
With three screws in his middle finger, he's now capable of shooting the titanium bird. Useful for a 16 yo.

Suggestion: It might be time for the mods to edit this thread. IMO, the discussion of the lunch program belongs in the political forum and leave this thread for the kiddos.

I need a beer.
Mini-ble2 is officially a walker!! She's been taking steps for a few weeks now, but evidently decided on Monday that she wanted to start walking. Now she's walking all over the place. It's weird thinking that my little girl is growing up that fast and that I'll never have another crawling baby again.

That part sucked when mini-MS1 started walking. Mini-MS2 is still a ways away from walking.

I had a proud engomeer dad moment on Wednesday. MiniBuff1 built a castle with her wood blocks. The part that made me proud: she also built water, sewer and gas utility lines to the castle.
