Wow, that must have been crazy moments for you Dawn. It's pretty wild nowadays at any city, any country. Everywhere there is danger. Every precaution is important. Thank god it was just an false alarm and that you have your kids at home safe and sound where they belong.

If you want in let me know before tomorrow morning and I'll get you on a team from the star..."

If it is not too late, you can put me on a team. Otherwise, backup is fine for this round.

You can join in on team 8.


After this point anyone else will be back ups.

Tie is not specifically a neck tie is it?

Thank goodness everything is ok Dawn!
We recently had an abduction here, I know the people involved, good friends, so its all be quite a journey.

In my head it is but I realise now maybe not to the rest of the world. It is in the clothing catergory though so it can't be tied rope, or zip ties or twist ties, or the act of tying. If you have some article of clothing that ties somewhere other than the neck I may consider it.

[╰⊱♥⊱╮ღ꧁Kathy,Ahmazing Book Faerie꧂ღ╭⊱♥≺]

LOL I just posted in the other thread! I have a jacket tie, is that OK?
A nnie tightened the tie of her jacket around her waist
Just been scanning my book! I'm pretty sure the book is about KaTIE LOL

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Officially on Day 1 and I've alread added 3 books I've found from this challenge. My TBR pile is going to explode this round.

That is exactly what you are looking for.

Yes.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Thanks Dawn! I'm going to fix my items claimed back to rainbow because rain is easier to find.

Would you accept snowy for snow?

Would this count for rainbow?

Yes.

[Paris]

Sweet! Thanks Dawn!

[Lina]

Dawn, I think I'm missing something in this round. I get that our team doesn't get the point until everyone in the team has the item, but do our individual points not count either until everyone in the team has caught up?

Right, until you have the weekly point you can't submit any of the items read,

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

I experienced that panic moment, this morning, where I realised I forgot about posting the new item. Thnn I pulled up the computer saw the date and realised it's only Thursday morning. Gah... I am really ready for it to be Friday.

Gotta love the holidays ☺ puts us all in panic mode....

[Jenne]

I woke up thinking it was Friday too! With the weird school schedule for the week it's thrown me all off!

At least you have an excuse. Still normal school week for us.

[Jenne]

Wow your kids go fir the whole week! We had half days yesterday and today and now they're officially off for two weeks.

[Ezi]

Hey you mommies on here,
do your daughters like the Winks Club? how do you feel?

My daughter wants the dolls, but they are way too skinny and sexy for a 5 year old girl. Why must cartoons be sooo skinny? Seriously. They are pencil legs, no waist but decent size boobs for fairies.
Opinions?

[Jenne]

I had to google them Ezi. I know all about Star Wars, Pokemon, Spongebob but not girl shows lol. They are pretty sexy smexy. Unfortunately now days these kids are flooded with this kind of stuff (not to sound old cause I'm not). My son who's in 2nd grade came home the other day talking about how babies are made. I had no clue at this age if anything along these lines. It's frightening to think how it will be 10 years from now!

[╰⊱♥⊱╮ღ꧁Kathy,Ahmazing Book Faerie꧂ღ╭⊱♥≺]

I have no clue what day it is now, my daughter has been off school over a week now.

Skinny is the new fat ladies and sexy smexy is the new innocent..!! I agree Jenne what are things going to be like by the time our babies are having babies!!
How old is a child in second grade? we don't have the same system you do!

[Ezi]

I feel bad because a lot of the friends have the dolls and
1) I don't want her to be that kid who never has stuff
2) but I don't want to give her stuff just because other people have it, when I think that item is not appropriate.
Not that fairies are just so inappropriate but you know.

[Lina]

Not with this item specifically, but I had this dilemma with my daughter a year ago. It's a no-win situation sometimes, and they wont always thank you for it, but if it came to the choice I'd rather take the higher ground. Her life is not going to end because she doesn't have the exact same doll that all her friends have, which will be replaced by the next hot thing in 6 months time. And if nothing else, it's character building for kids to go without every once in a while. Good luck with it, Ezi! Parenting is full of little choices that are building the road of their character, and it's mainly the good parents who question their decisions. You worry because you care.

But then we do get two and a half weeks off so I guess it evens out.

My 10 year old watches them. She hasn't asked for the dolls yet. (she wants mermaid dolls) But when she was 5 bratz were all the rage and we flat out banned them no bratz at all. Thier heads were too big and clothes too small to be any kind of roll model.

ETA: I agree with everything CaroB said. And to add to my prvs statement I may have once felt guilty about not getting the "bratz" doll and splurged to get her 2 regular barbies.

And as I mentioned my daughter does watch, which means I only get bits and pieces because I am usually in the room on the computer or reading. The winx seem to be more socially and planet minded in thier expeditions than the bratz ever were. The may still dress a bit to risky for a 5 year old but I think with the explanation that this is not how normal people dress, the might be ok for a 5 year old.
