Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We do homework when we get home from school, but I have to admit that, at this point, when Isaac pulls dawdling for hours crap (Franny has outgrown it--yay!) I no longer tolerate it. When I sense it's become futile, I just put away homework and write a note to his teacher explaining whatever it was ("Isaac worked at this for two hours but refused to finish his math" etc). Usually his chagrin at having a note written to his teacher makes him buck up and finish up his work.
Since we're testing for G&T in two weeks, I've been getting Dylan into the habit of at least two workbook pages every day, so we don't get to test day and have him suddenly not be in the mood to hold a pencil or follow directions.
Dang, Franny is slated to be tested later this year and we haven't done any prep. Maybe that's a mistake? I don't know. I mean, I want her to test as gifted, but even more important to me is that, if she doesn't test as gifted, I don't want her to feel like she's a failure or she's not smart. Problem is I don't know how to motivate her without making her feel like there's an expectation she better test well.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Would telling Franny about the fun, creative projects and field trips that are part of G&T classes be a good motivator, by making the class itself seem like a reward for trying hard and doing well on the test? I know once I got into a gifted program in 5th grade it was the highlight of my week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins, have you done any of the kitchen yet?
Not really--I did the cookbooks, and got rid of some stuff, but not much else.

spice jars into plastic bowls with lids, utensils into any plastic pitchers with lids. nothing needs padding, just put into a box and it makes fast work of a few areas.

I can do that!
Tomorrow, or later in the week.

How do you get the cornstarch out of the hair/fur afterwards?
This does involve brushing, so if your cat is brushing-adverse, it may not work. But working some into a specific mat with your fingers will do some good and minimize the spread. Plus when they lick it off them in disgust, it's at least edible.
