Family Friday: Point Salad Game

A card game where you build different salads? I can personally vouch that getting your veggies has never been so fun!
I tried this card game over the holidays with my family and I’m hooked. Players take turns building salads from different veggie combinations to score the most points, and the game moves quickly, so you can play multiple rounds. While it says for ages 14 and up, my then 8-year-old could play it when teamed with another adult.
Point Salad is available at Amazon for under $20.

We’d like to do movie night with our 3 year old. What do you do with movies where there are potentially scary scenes? FF? Cover his eyes?
FWIW he was scared of the horse mounted police officers in the final scenes of the Elf.
We were invited to a birthday party at a SkyZone (trampoline park). I’ve never been to one before — any thoughts from y’all about whether they’re safe for a 4 year old? Advice/things to bring/watch out for? Thanks!
Someone had been sick in my family every single day of February so far. I suspect someone at day care is an asymptomatic carrier of the flu. My kids have all had the flu, gotten better for a week and then gotten it again (same strain). I’m tired.
Playing off Cb’s mention of never donating her favorite picture book, does anyone have recommendations for picture books for older kids (4-6 years old) with longer attention spans? We are mostly reading chapter books at bedtime but they can get repetitive so am looking for some good quality picture books with more detailed stories and beautiful illustrations.
We’ve been obsessed with Uno lately. My parents had an old (and unopened) set and they must have played 50 rounds the week that my son was there. It’s easy and even game haters like my dad and I got into it.
The new head of school at my son’s school HATES dress up days (to the consternation of a subset of parents and the relief of others) but we’ve arranged to do a PTA book swap, so every child should be able to bring home a new-to-them book on World Book Day. I’ve been clearing off the shelves of things we’ve outgrown and things I hate (Bad Kitty) and should be able to contribute a big bag for the children. Hoping everyone else takes the opportunity to do the same.
How do I know when to switch my kid from a 5 point harness to a high back booster (and then a low back booster, if that’s a progression that we’re supposed to be doing?)? Infant bucket to rear facing seat to front facing seat all seemed like straightforward choices to me; somehow everything I’ve read about the next one makes me feel mystified and really dumb. Happy to be pointed to a good resource ( I’ve already looked at the NHTSA, and that was the impetus for this comment, for whatever that’s worth)
