    Which of these cities to visit with kids age 5 and 2?

    With that age this time of year, I'd vote for the Mall of America hands down. I'm not sure how long it's been since you were there but they have added so much in the last few years. Crayola Crayon Experience, Sealife aquarium, American girl store, plus Nickelodeon theme park, mini golf...

    Anyone else here really disliking their current weather?

    Are you in the Twin Cities? We're in Wisconsin about 20 miles east of Minneapolis and that is what we had yesterday too. Woke up to -22 air temp. Today feels like Spring...It's in the 20's ( on the plus side of zero!). Tomorrow will be close to 40.

    Parents of 8th grade boys...

    Here it's called the "8th Grade Fare Thee Well" and isn't a graduation ceremony. It's more of a general goodbye. The school feels graduation should be reserved for H.S. That being said, if DS even goes (he hasn't decided yet), he'll probably just wear jeans and a nice shirt . Most of the boys...

    Guinea pig

    OP keep in mind too that a piggies life span is average 4-8 years. So it could be a pretty long commitment. As another poster said, not trying to discourage you but you should know what you are getting into.

    Guinea pig

    I get them at Fleet Farm but Menards, Lowes, etc.. should have them. They are intended to use in wood pellet stoves. Just make sure they are hardwood and untreated...they are also used for horse bedding (if they are softwood they must be kiln dried). So any home improvement or feed store type...

    Chevy Equinox or Ford Escape?

    We also bought a new Equinox in July (2013 model) and we really like it. We downsized from an 8 passenger Chevy Astro van. The size of the Equinox is surprisingly good. We have 5 in our family but our oldest is rarely with us anymore so it's perfect..still enough room on the few times she goes...
