Thanksgiving Dilemma

I'm hosting twelve people for Thanksgiving dinner (including myself). Of the twelve people who will be eating dinner, five will be drinking milk (Alex, Noah, Jenna, Rachel, and Julie). Everyone else will be drinking iced tea. (Grandma, Grandpa, Carrie, Kyle, Jordan, Dane, and myself). I don't have a lot of space in the fridge so I don't want to overbuy or overmake the drinks. I also don't want anyone to go thirsty.

How much of each kind of drink should I plan on buying or making? Use estimation to help you decide. Please explain your thinking. :)

Cool Website!

Check out the cool website Mr. Cooper just sent me. It's all about cell size and scale factor.

Mr. Cooper's Giant Skeleton


Mr. Cooper's growing skeleton started off at a height of 23.5 cm.

One student predicted the skeleton would be 141 cm tall in 96 hours.

Does this seem possible? What might the 600% represent?

Can our little family go bowling?

Mr. Cooper has generously lent us his real-life bowling pin as a reference point for our tiny bowling pin set. Using what you know about the dollhouse, talk to me about if this bowling set is appropriate for our tiny house.

Quotes that are blown out of proportion...

Here is a quote from the book Laura recommended: The Two Princess of Barmarre.

"I'm a bit older than you are, but not a great deal older. I'm seventy-eight. If I were human, I'd be just about seventeen."

My birth date is May 9, 1978. Can you tell me how "old" I'd be if I were in this guy's family?
