My ticker is back! I'm a goof...wasn't that hard to figure out once I finally had time to look at it!

[mommytotwo]

To answer today's question - definitely some signed art work.

To help out Patsy, have you thought about putting the little guy in an angel type outfit? You know, just a little something around the tush and some wings? Shayla could even hold the wings behind him so you didn't have to put them on him.

With Halloween right around the corner it should be easier to find wings now than later. And then find a silvery or gold or white dress for Shayla, some fluffy white blankets for a back ground and viola, pretty picture.

Ann Marie, that sounds cute to me, but some of Kevin's friends would laugh :sad2: .
They have so many cute outfits for the holidays out there for girls, or even some cute two-three piece outfits for boys, but they are all geared for the colder weather.
Thank you for your suggestion.

[AlexWyattMommy]

For my first born we had an outfit that was a two piece, short sleeve white shirt and a red, green, white plaid short jumper. He had the cutest chubby legs that we loved to show off so even in the winter my little work shorts inside. I found it at speciality boutique that is gone now, but I'd be willing to look for something along those lines if it was what you were thinking.

That sounds cute. I will check to see what is online for another week or two, and if I can't find anything and still want to get a holiday like outfit, I will pm you.
Thank you very much.

[mommytotwo]

Is there any exchangers on right now?
I wanted to test something out, so if you could help me, could you either pm me or post here.

[Pooh67_68]

Very nice Patsy. I like it too.

[pennst8r]

Look out! I'm getting good at this! Got it in my sig on the 3rd try! :rotfl:
THanks, Patsy, for the cute Halloween pic!

Here's my 2c on boys clothing...... :crazy2:
There are soo many cute outfits for girls at all times of the year. Boys--they get stuck with blue, green, red. Sometimes yellow. T-shirt, polo, or oxford. Pants or shorts. So boring.

I was thinking of dressing my boys in semi-matching outfits this year for Xmas pics. Jeans and polos in thier fav colors. Then just having them put red/white striped scarves on, and taking the pic outside by the pine trees.

I don't have a WDW pic for the first time in a few years to use. :-(

[mommytotwo]

Yes, boys clothing comes in mostly a basic colors :(.
I will have to see what the kids will match in together or something that won't really look weird if it is their everyday clothes.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to get a new pet, what would it be and what would you name it?

[kaylajr]

If you were to get a new pet, what would it be and what would you name it?
Easy one
it would be another Lab

either black or Yellow

as for the name i would have to meet it first to see it's personality

[AlexWyattMommy]

Another dog, but no more Siberians. We love ours, but know we got lucky as she is not typical of her breed.

I'd like an inside dog, perhaps a Pekanese or Hot Dog dog as my youngest calls them.

Don't know what we would name it as it all depends on breed, sex and personality. But I am partial to Montana.

[kaylajr]

Hey can you all do me a favor and check out the new sticky i did this am it
is signature guidlines


I have noticed some have gone a bit over

I will try to PM the ones i see but i have to work today and tomorrow so i may not get to everyone

Thanks guys :goodvibes

[Meriweather]

Thanks, Kayla. Those of us on dial-up appreciate it ;)

Pet...no more for us....but I would get another cat. Name would depend on looks and personality.

[mommytotwo]

I would get a bigger dog, maybe a mixed lab/german sheperd.
As for the name, I would let Shayla pick that out.

[thewishfire]

If you were to get a new pet, what would it be and what would you name it?

I'd love another cat, but my mom won't go for it. One day I'd like to get another dog that would be 'mine'. Something small, maybe a Chiahuahua or Fox Terrier.. something along those lines. I'm not sure what I'd name it though.

[Pooh67_68]

A black Lab, not sure what I would name it though.

[mommytotwo]

Exchangers, have you ever met or seen pictures of any of the following exchangers?
I am interested in seeing how you all look like.

[snowwhitesmom]

Great idea, Patsy! Let's post pictures!

[kimbac3]

If you were to get a new pet, what would it be and what would you name it?

Another Doberman named Deuce!!
or a little cockapoo for my DD8 she'd name that one.

[thewishfire]

Eeep, pictures!! Well, I'll be a good sport, but these won't be on here forever! I hate pictures of me.. but I guess just one won't kill me. I cropped it though to remove my friends from the picture.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d6/thewishfire/cropped.jpg

Yeah, not a very good picture, but the best (unfortunately) that I have on my computer.

[mommytotwo]

What is your most favorite restaurant, and what do you order from there?

If you were to pick a resturant to come to your area, what restaurant would it be?

[Pooh67_68]

Right now not even a restaurant, just a fast food joint. KFC
My favorites are the popcorn chicken, or the famous mash bowl.

The one I would choose to come to this area or near here anyway would be TGIFriday's.

[kbmoo]

I haven't been on all week. If we got another dog it would be another Pekeniese. Favorite restaurant (LeCelliar at disney) Non disney- I love chipolte and Red Lobster. Thanks Patsy, I used your directions and Scoutsmoms jumping Micky to make it work!

[ADisneygirl]

My most favorite restaurant is a local place called Rossi's. I love everything in there, but usually order stuffed shells.

The restaurant I'd like to move to my area is the Rainforest Cafe (in DTD). It's not that the food is so great, it is the atmosphere. It is so themed and fun in there!

[jpmandan]

Mmmm.... What restaurant to wish for....

LeCellier :thumbsup2

So many are here (or are returning) because of the casinos, but a good non-Disney one would be Brennan's (New Orleans)! :love:

[pilikia97]

Sadly, I can not pick any one favorite restaurant, but I can pick the one I wish would open up here in Colorado: Garduno's of Mexico! It is an Albuquerque chain that has now expanded across the state and into Arizona and Nevada but has not come north yet :(

My family is really getting tired of all our requests to bring their red chili sauce and salsa up with them whenever they come to visit us, lol. :thumbsup2

[bluerendezvous]

I decided to stop using my DH's username, jpmandan! I now have my own identity! :)

[mickeyfan2]

mommytotwo I am thinking about you at this time. I hope the earthquakes did not knock out your power (much of hawaii is out of power) or cause your family any injury or property damage.

[bluerendezvous]

Worried about Patsy.... Hope to hear from you soon!

[mommytotwo]

Thank you DISers.
I had finally gotten my internet connection back.
The earthquake had hit all the Hawaiian islands, at around 7:10am.
It was around 6.3-6.5 in size, and they said that it was the biggest earthquake that we had since 1983.
As for some of the other islands, or parts of this island....there is no electricity and water.
I will keep you updated if there is any change.

Glad to hear that your are ok and back on-line. ;) Please keep us informed. Our wishes and prayers go out to all those effected.

[mommytotwo]

We are still cleaning up the things that broke, and the damage that it had done to our house.
Luckily, I was still in bed this morning with the kids and holding Brandon. One of Kevin's shot glasses broke and shattered right next to the bed, and the items from the shelf above had all fallen down. If I had put Brandon inside of his pack and play like Kevin and I mentioned last night, he would have gotten hurt.
The bathtub doors collapsed from the slidings, and luckily Shayla's stepping stool was there so catch it so it didn't break, we had several plates, mugs...break, more then half of my Halloween Yankee Candle candle decorations broke :(, the light ficture that was hanging in the living room ceiling feel and had shattered.....

[Nite0wl71]

Well Patsy I am glad you guys are all right. :grouphug: I just heard about the earthquake when I got home from work.

[kimbac3]

[snowwhitesmom]

Patsy, I just PMed you and am so glad I read your posts on this thread - glad that everyone is okay!!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh Patsy, I am so sorry for the mess but am so grateful that is just mess you have to take care of!!
I've not listened to the news for two days now, so I didn't even know there had been an earthquake.
I will keep you and everyone else in our prayers.

[Meriweather]

Just got back from being out of town all weekend. Patsy...glad everyone is alright. Everything else can be replaced.
Earthquakes are scary.....been there, done it (too many times). I am a CA girl.
thinking of you and all effected.

[ADisneygirl]

I am so glad to read here that you are ok Patsy. I thought of you when the news came on this afternoon about the earthquake. You are the only person I "know" in Hawaii! Hopefully everyone on the islands will fare as well too. Prayers said.

[bluerendezvous]

Patsy,

So glad you and yours are okay. We here in S. Ms. certainly send our thoughts and prayers your way during your clean up and recovery!

:grouphug:

It seems like there has been no one had gotten hurt around here, so that is a major plus. They had evacuated some people from the hospital here because of some structual damage at the hospital. This afternoon, we had also felt a short aftershake, but we are okay.
As for another exchange, there will be the holiday exchange I believe in Nov.
Thank you everyone for thinking of me.

[DreamsComingTrue]

Patsy,Im so happy to hear you and your family are ok.Just wanted you to know that your in my thoughts and prayers,and to all of you who are affected by this. :grouphug:

What island was your friend on? The island of Oahu didn't have power since 7:30 since they turned off all the electricity. Then the electric company had slowly turned it on from the afternoon till the evening.

If an earthquake were to happen where you live right now and you could not open the refrigerator or the freezer, what items do you have to eat or snack on?

[PixieDust32]

Hi Patsy, I'm glad to hear from you. Thanks you and Shayla for the card.

[Meriweather]

Well, we always have lots of food here ;)
Crackers of various kinds, cookies, candy (a big stock right now ;) ), Peanut butter, soups, pastas, lots more.
We saw at Costco over the weekend, and emergency food supply. I am picking one up this week. It has 225 meals in it. We try to be ready for earthquakes around here too.

[bluerendezvous]

We are still loaded with MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) from Katrina! We have our generator to power the pump for the artesian well that we get our water from everyday. What really scares me is that you don't get any warning for an earthquake! At least we can prepare for a hurricane.

[AlexWyattMommy]

We could probably survive just fine for a week on the stuff I have right now. We have pop-top cans of ravoli/spaghetti stuff, soups, boxes of poptarts (you know breakfast cookies), chips, crackers, 100piece box of slim jims, we have to drink bottled water so we have a month supply of that, juice boxes and cans of soda. Yup, nothing healthy here, but we could live off it.

Same here. We don't have many healthy things, but we have a bunch of things to last us for awhile.

[ANTSS2001]

hello everyone.. just poppin in to check what are on the exchange board.. finally got some down time with work... :woohoo:

[PixieDust32]

Hi guys, hope everybody is doing great.

Hey Patsy, I need to tell you about the cheetah concert, Shawny had a great time, she also met them in person, the cheetah's and Hannah Montanta, she said that it was the happiest day of her life.

[Pooh67_68]

Well even if I didn't have electric, I still have a grill to cook on. (it has a side burner) So I can make soup, Kraft mac and cheese, peanut butter, buttered noodles (always keep some butter in a dish on the counter), tuna fish (I can eat it with out mayo.
Also being that I am in Pa. and it is cold now, I could take a few things out of the fridge, put it in a cooler and stick it outside.

When we had back to back ice storms and were without electric for a week, I still was able to get things from the fridge or freezer. Just open it and take out what you want (quickly), the other items will be fine for a while.

But not having electric is not a problem now, as after the ice storms John went and bought a generator.

[kimbac3]

I woke up to the phone ringing telling me that my friends house had caught on fire around 2:30 this morning. The whole upstairs was gutted. The worst part was we could not find them!! The where taking to the local hospital then (we found out after searching for an hour!!) that my friend was flown via helicopter to a burn center and her 14yr old son and 2yr old grandson were taken to the same burn center via ambulance.
The 2yr old is fine but is staying the night for observation. The 14yr has some burns to his nose but he'll go home tomorrow too. My friend has burns on her face and is being treated for smoke inhalation. She'll be there a few more days.
I walked through her house after I came back from the hospital, It's really bad. I tried to salvage what I could for her. It's funny but the only thing the 14yr old asked about was his $100 Jordan sneakers he just bought Saturday :rotfl: And guess what ..I found them!!! Unharmed!! They weren't even wet!! He's gonna be thrilled!
It really has stopped me in my tracks. Please everyone check your batteries in your smoke detectors..if you don't have them get them!!
I'm off now to buy some clothes for the little 2 yr old to wear home.

[snowwhitesmom]

Shay is with my dad today so it is just me and Brandon hanging out at home on a nice and sunny day. It did rain here last night, and we have been feeling aftershocks of the earthquake still till this morning.

As for my dessert of choice, it would be tiramisu.

[PixieDust32]

Sounds like Shawny had a great time.

Just with Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) one of the cheetah girls told us that they had to be the 3 of them on the pic, they weren't very friendly, they never got off the bus and the other girl did.

What island was your friend on? The island of Oahu didn't have power since 7:30 since they turned off all the electricity. Then the electric company had slowly turned it on from the afternoon till the evening.

She is on Maui on the Army base there. I finally heard from her and they are fine. They woke up to it that morning and luckily are just fine.

Glad you and she are both fine. :)

[MickeyMamma]

Oh kimbac, I just saw your post about your friend. I am so happy to know that they are all okay, but they must feel devestated about what happened. Sending lots of positive thoughts their way and hopes for a quick recovery.

[ANTSS2001]

If you were told that you would be entering a food eatting contest, what food would you choose to eat?

I'd say "brown rice" hmmm for some add reason after learning how to eat brown rice for 2 years now I still crave and love it if I miss a day w/o brown rice! :crazy:

So today I had recieved the new Little Mermaid dvd....so the QOTD is-

What recent videos, dvds, or movies have you watched?

[mommytotwo]

It is a very hot :sunny: day here so we are eatting some ice cream.
Growing up, I didn't live in a neighborhood where there is an ice cream truck, snack truck....that came around. But did you have one in your neighborhood? If so, what did they sell and what did you always buy?

[ANTSS2001]

What recent videos, dvds, or movies have you watched?

Saw Stick It with my niece..not bad for a teen ager movie...

Speaking od DVD, Just a Reminder!!! All Johnny Dep fans I saw the free Poster that comes with your pre - order of POTC "Dead Man tell no Tales" at our local TDS. The pre order date is on Oct. 24th,2006 :thumbsup2

[mickeyfan2]

Saw and Halloweentown.

We had an ice cream truck. They served soft serve and novelty bars. I got soft serve chocolate ice cream.

[Pooh67_68]

The other day I watched Brokeback Mountain. Today I am going to watch The Wild on video on demand.

so the QOTD is-
What recent videos, dvds, or movies have you watched?

[Pooh67_68]

Never had an ice cream truck any of the places I lived. But when we would visit my grandmother, there was an ice cream truck that came through her neighborhood.

Don't remember what they sold, but I always got the vanilla ice cream bar with the chocolate covering.

Anything exciting happening today?

[kimbac3]

I have a quick update on my friends (the ones with the house fire). They have all been released from the hospital. Currently they are staying at a local hotel thanks to the Red Cross. They are now scrambling to find a place to stay in our town. We live in a SMALL town, no hotels or apartments or anything. Just one blinking light in the center :rotfl2: I think they are getting a travel trailer put on their property..at least that was the plan this morning.
Thanks to all for the :grouphug: and good wishes!

Thanks to all for the :grouphug: and good wishes!

Glad they are OK

Sorry to hear about your Bronco.
What type of car do you think you will get?

I love trucks too! We had a big old Jeep Cheerokee..not the little thing the big, full size one. Now I drive a Chevy Avalanche. I don't think I could ever go to a car :rotfl:

Hi kaylajr... long time no see !!! I hope you find the perfect match for you. Buying a car to me is like getting married w/o divorced but only annullment... (and you know how long it takes the get it annulled :eek: So yes I know who you feel !!! :sad2:

If you could choose one activity to do this weekend, what would it be?

[Pooh67_68]

Go shopping

[mickeyfan2]

If you could choose one activity to do this weekend, what would it be?
The clean answer is go to WDW.

[ANTSS2001]

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

PAtsy.... I have a question:scratchin has there been a wine swap ( local wine of your State) or wine exchange happend before?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would choose to sleep, but I have to make scrap swap items this weekend.
I'm not sure what the rules are for mailing alcohol products across state lines. I think if you use UPS it is not a problem, but I think USPS frowns on that kind of mail. Once upon a time, I belong to a wine of the month club. Used to get some exciting wines one from California and one from anywhere else every month. But they had to be delivered via UPS. Like I said, that was along time ago and I don't know what the rules are now.

[Meriweather]

If you could choose one activity to do this weekend, what would it be?

go to WDW!!
And we are. Leave on Sunday :hyper:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Have a safe journey and enjoy the trip!! :sunny:

Did anyone check out the cute Disney Christmas ornaments on Disneyshopping.com. They have these cute assorted colored Mickey head ornaments and also these Mickey and Friends jingle bell ornaments. I want all of them :) :santa: :santa: :santa:.

[snowwhitesmom]

[Meriweather]

I already bought too many Disney ornaments. Hallmark gets me every year. :rolleyes:
I am afraid to look :eek:

[mommytotwo]

I had seen some Hallmark Disney ones that I like as well yesterday.
I need to get Brandon a Disney baby's first ornament, but haven't seen one yet.

[Meriweather]

Ohhh....ohhh...they have holiday antenna toppers!!! When I get back, I see an order going out ;)

Patsy, I'm sure Hallmark had baby's 1st Christmas ones.

I had seen the animal one which I like since you can put a picture in it, but not the Pooh and Piglet one. I was hoping for a Disney one, so I will have to go back and check it.

So, is it weird that I am in my thirties and yesterday I carved my first ever jack-o-lantern? It was one of those foam ones and good grief that thing produced more "saw dust" than a wood plank! Now I just have five more to carve before the neighborhood kids come a callin'... :teeth:

We have our Mickey head Pirate one on! We also have a pirate skull trailer hitch cover that when you apply the brakes the eyes glow red! My truck is black so we always refer to it as "The Black Pearl" !! Yep..we're corny!! We all wore pirates shirts to see the opening of Pirates 2 too!!

When we go to Disney I put on the DIS lime green ball antenna topper, It helps to find my truck in the sea of vehicles!! I also have a Christmas stitch one too.

I've never done the foam ones. Every year I look forward to carving the real thing at my MIL's. She has a Bonfire/Harvest party every year on the last Saturday of October. Me, Dh and our 3 kids go down early in the day to help set up. We carve pumpkins and put candles in them, this lights the path back to the bonfire. It's fun..I love squishing my hands in the pumpkin!!! It's so gross and fun!!!

I have never seen the foam ones.
How much do they sell those for?
We are doing a real pumpkin, but learned from last year that if we do it to early, then it will mold on us. So we are waiting till next weekend to carve it.

[Pooh67_68]

Sounds like fun. Can I come? ;)

I found mine at Michael's (I think that they are their generic store brand of the Funkins foam pumpkins). I paid between $10 and $20 dollars on them but I went and picked up a few more this morning and they are now 50% off so I only paid $5 each for them. They come in small, medium and large sizes.
The name brand Funkins have a website, and their prices were significantly higher :scared:

[kimbac3]

Sure!! The more the merrier!! :wave:

[MickeyMamma]

We haven't done our pumpkin yet either this year. I was saving it for DS to work on with me this weekend. I am sure we will have a very strange looking pumpkin after he is done with it, but I am trying to let him do alot of the work (letting him draw the face, but I will do the cutting - don't need a trip to the ER for this).

Totally with you on the no moldy pumpkins. I HATE that smell!!


Other than that, it looks like I can start my shopping for the stocking exchanges this weekend too. :cheer2: Good thing too since next week looks busy!

Advent calendar help-
I am putting together an advent calendar for the first time for my 4 year old daughter.
It has 24 pockets in which I will put pieces of paper with activities written on them and such. I will also include little surprises in the pockets...but I need help thinking of things to do.

Here are some things that I am already planning on-
*Making snowflakes and decorating her room.
*Writing Christmas cards to her friends.
*Making cookies and other Christmas treats with mommy.
*Drinking some hot chocolate while reading a new Christmas book.
*I have some Christmas books and activity books that I bought for her, so will do those.
*We will be putting together Christmas craft projects.
*Assemble the gingerbread house that we bought.
*She will be able to open a present from under the tree on certain days.
*Watch the Peanuts Christmas video.
*Make cinnamon ornaments for the tree
*Make bird seed ornaments for the birds
*Start making thank you cards.
*Put together a Build a Bear reindeer set.

What else?

[mommytotwo]

Hi Amanda.
How many times a night does your little one wake up?

[Pooh67_68]

Patsy, you already have watching the best Christmas video.
But I would also pick a day to watch Rudolph the red nose Reindeer.

How about buying a toy for the Toys for Tots program, then dropping it off at the collection point. Could she help you do some wrapping? We love to put on Christmas carols and wrap presents. We also do a Christmas lights drive. The kids put on their PJs and we all pile in the truck with some microwave popcorn and go looking at Christmas lights. We drive all over. My kids really look forward to this even my 14yr old!
Anyway just a few thoughts! This sounds like a cool idea by the way!

He is doing good. He weighs 15 pounds...how much does your little one weigh?
Brandon wakes up 2-3 times a night which is an improvment, but he usually goes to sleep from 10:30-1:30.

Thank you.
The Toys for Tots idea is a very giving and creative one.
My daughter loves to wrap presents with me no matter if there is an occassion or not, so she will be wrapping some presents. I will be taking her shopping for her to buy some presents for her to wrap and give out. We also go out driving to look at the Christmas lights here.

Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving but since we'll be in Disney then this year then the weekend before Christmas!! The sooner the better for me!!
I love Christmas!
Kimba

[Pooh67_68]

I use to decorate December first, but since DH wanted an artificial tree last year I decorated Thanksgiving night.

I plan on doing that again this year too. :banana:

[pilikia97]

I like to decorate as soon after Thanksgiving as my work schedule permits...although, as I am currently snowed in at my house today I kinda want to start now, lol! I definitely think my Mickey lighted wreath would cheer me up from this dreary gray snowy day! :thumbsup2

[mickeyfan2]

The first tree is going up today. The second over the weekend. Then we will add more as the time allows.

[ADisneygirl]

When we were getting real trees we did it 3 weeks before Christmas. Now with my artificial pre lit 9 ft. slim, we get that thing up on Thanksgiving weekend! I love to decorate for Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year!

[Pooh67_68]

I am glad there are many people on here that like Christmas as much as me. :thumbsup2

I though you would call me crazy for decorating so early.

[mommytotwo]

:santa: We usually get our Christmas tree either the night before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. I call all the stores trying to find out who will have their trees first.

My little monkey is close to 10lbs. He is such a little runt..lol It is so weird b/c Ethan was always on the very big side and Landon is just so tiny!

[TheDisneyBunch]

OOOHHH Christmas talk. I am a Christmas nut!

Last year we decorated the 2nd weekend of November. This year we are planning for the 3rd weekend (weekend before Thanksgiving). We love having the house already decorated come Thanksgiving.

We usually bake things like cup cakes/cake, sausage balls, cookies, etc.. and we play tons of Christmas music and movies and get the house all decked out. I love it!! I am sooo looking foward to it.

She will be a witch, and Brandon will be a wizard.

We just did our annual scavenger hunt. I put clues all around our property and the kids each take a turn solving them to find their loot! They love it! We do this instead of trick or treating..we live out in the boondocks. After dinner we will do our annual homemade pretzel bake. We make Amish soft pretzels from scratch. The kids are still out playing even though it's getting dark. Luckily it's beautiful out here today!

My kids are too old to dress up anymore, but I did get to have some fun today at school. We were allowed to wear costumes and the entire school had a parade for the kids to see each other's costumes. I was a Grecian princess. :wizard:

Tonight we'll be busy handing out candy!

[pennst8r]

Soooo...who has more candy than they know what to do with today?
:hyper:

I haven't been here in awhile! I started subbing as an aide at the boys' school. Altho soccer practice is finally over, due to the fact that there are no lights at the fields and it's dark by 5:30! So at least we're home in the evenings again. :banana:

We had a great time at POFQ, just DH and I. What a difference without the kids! I think I put on a few pounds...we ate and drank ourselves around the parks.

[Pooh67_68]

Lynne

Glad that you had such a good time on your trip. I have no extra candy, even though we got no tot'ers. I had John take it to his work.

[MickeyMamma]

We got a TON of candy last night. There really weren't very many ToTer's around here so they loaded Andrew up with candy and then gave more to share with his little sister who was busy munching tootsie rolls in her stroller.

Note: Tootsie roll stains DO come out of Cinderella dresses, LOL!

We always offer to trade Andrew a small toy for most of his candy. Since he is not a big candy kid, it is easy for him to give it back to me. He is getting some new Matchbox cars instead. Right now he is sorting through his candy pile to choose some pieces that he will be allowed to keep.

Oh, we had a red Power Ranger and a little Cinderella at our house.

[Pooh67_68]

Hi Nancy!

How was your trip? I keep thinking I should have left something at the desk for when you checked in. :goodvibes If I hadn't been worrying about DSs who all got sick the day after we left, it would have occured to me while I was there!

[PixieDust32]

Hi Patsy,

OK this thing is back on. Thanks for checking on me.

Our trip was wonderful!! And yours? (besides the illness)

[MickeyMamma]

So where did everybody go?

Resting up from the weekend?

Taking a break before the bustle of Thanksgiving?



How about a Question of the Day.........
What is your favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving?

[Pooh67_68]

The turkey, but I like it best the day after. I make a turkey sandwich.

Stuffing with gravy!!!

I've been busy getting ready for my trip AND our "Fake Thanksgiving" as it's come to be called. We are having Thansgiving on this Saturday because we'll be driving to WDW on the "Real Thanksgiving".

Kimba

[mommytotwo]

Our entire family has a cold. http://bestsmileys.com/sick/8.gif

My most favorite thing to eat for Thanksgiving is-
Pumpkin pie

[pennst8r]

:sick: We're all sharing a bug here, too. I've started subbing as a teacher's aide in my DSs school, too, so I'm not around much.

My favorite thing to eat on Turkey Day are the sweet potatoes--I think because that's the only time I make them!

My inlaw's stuffing takes a close 2nd, but like Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond, I am not allowed to have the recipe! :rotfl2: I ask for it every year, and get some lame excuse. One year it was "there are too many ingredients for you". :crazy2: I really can cook, not just saying it to look good here. Funny part is I do have the recipe, (they don't know) but like seeing what excuse they come up with next.

[MickeyMamma]

My favorite is pumpkin cake! Or even better pumkin cake roll. Mmmm....
Used to get this alot when we lived in Pennsylvannia.

[Pooh67_68]

Patsy & Lynn hope your family's are feeling better soon.

Kim, I am coming to your house Sat. I just love turkey and could eat it all the time. Have a safe and fun time on your trip.

[pennst8r]

I think it would be so much fun to be at WDW for a holiday! But I always chicken out thinking it would be too crowded.

Have a great trip, Kim!

Nancy, we had a great time! We ate and drank ourselves around the Food and Wine Festival, which we've never been able to do before. It was really good for us to have some time together without the kids.

Had to promise them a trip next Oct, tho. How soon can I put up a ticker without looking too pathetic? :rotfl: I think seeing 330 days or so would make it worse!

[mommytotwo]

Thank you Heidi.

Anyone been gobbled on the exchange board yet?

Favorite TG food....I'm with Heidi. Turkey but the day after in sandwiches.
If it has to be that day, dessert. Whatever that might be. It changes here every year because I am the only one that likes pumpkin pie :(

Another DISer and I were talking about the Budget Board's trade post. It is where you list what items you have and what items you are interested in....and if you see someone else list something that you want to trade, then you pm each other.
I wonder if we could do something like this on this board.

[Meriweather]

Isn't there something similar here??

I saw the gobbled turkey on the CB. I never go to the budget board. :blush: I hate budgeting :rotfl:

There is one that is a would you like type of thread, but not a trade thread.

I haven't read this thread recently, but when I see the Weather Channel, I always am wondering, Is Meriweather dry? in a safe part of the state? The weather reports from Washington state are so bad sometimes.

Thanks for asking, Bobbi.
We are safe. I live on a hill. But the road to town is between two forks of one of the rivers that floods. It is a mess down there, but the road is usable.
There has been a lot of destruction :( Very sad to see.
Clean up is going on but it will be a slow process.

I'm glad that you are safe, but it must be hard for you to see that devastation. We lived in Lower Makefield/Yardley, not near the Delaware, but when the Delaware floods, it does affect the whole community.

We've lived in this house for 20 years and this is the 4-5th time the river has gone over the roadway :( Not fun if we have to drive around, but doable.
But this is about the 3rd time we have seen the massive destruction and the slides (which are still occuring) :(
And....it is always in Nov.
the rivers have all receded now, even though we are still getting rain, but the slides are the big problem now.

I have not been keeping up with this. This is so sad. I hope that it is a very Happy Thanksgiving this year.

I need to finish putting together my Christmas cards today.

[Meriweather]

Christmas here also.....with the kids coming home.
HATE snow!! ;)
Cards are all done......presents are almost all done.
So maybe this year, I can have some nice peaceful, quiet holiday time....then get ready for the January trip :hyper:

Kim....broken toes HURT!! Hope it gets better at least some before your trip.

[mickeyfan2]

I love Christmas, but I consider it a season of it's own. Winter starts after January 1. My Christmas cards are ready and most of the presents I have to buy are done. We have 1 tree completely done and two more are being worked on. They will be done soon. Then to complete the other decorating. When that is all done we will see how many more trees we will put up.

I would love to put more than one tree up but I don't have the space. After we remodel we will have a sitting room and I plan to put a tree there. I had planned to start my decorating this week..now I'll have to see how that goes. I could get my kids to help but I'm so OCD with that stuff :rotfl2: I let them "help" me decorate the tree but then...after they go to bed....I move everything around :ssst: don't tell, ok? :rotfl:

When does everyone send out their Christmas cards?

[Meriweather]

When does everyone send out their Christmas cards?

I send mine the second week in Dec. ;)
But then I put my tree and decorations up in Dec. also :rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I spend Thanksgiving weekend addressing the cards and they are usually mailed by the end of the first week of December.

[Pooh67_68]

All my Christmas decorations are out and my tree is up and decorated. :banana:

My cards are ready and the envelopes addressed. I always mail them on December 1st.

[mommytotwo]

Well, I'm a shoe-in for the Worst Mother of the Year award!

I sent my son to school yesterday. He's had a cough--we all have. No fever. He was a bit raspy, but was fighting with his brothers enough that I figured he was ok. I made a dr appt anyway for that afternoon, just to check it.

He has pneumonia!

:sad2:

[AlexWyattMommy]

No you're not.
Last month my oldest fell down the stairs and twisted his ankle. Cried like a baby. Figured he was, being a baby.
Made an appointment and they couldn't get him in until 11am and thought, oh great there goes my whole day. Had to take him for x-rays and yup, broken ankle bone. He's been a cast since.

[MickeyMamma]

Hey! Everybody is posting again. Yeay! :banana:

Now I have to catch up, LOL!

Favorite part of the holidays - Getting together with family and friends and building a gingerbread house/train/whatever with DS (this willl be our 3rd year).

Cards for us go out first week of December. I still have to take the picture this weekend. We did family pictures last weekend, but I wanted to take a nice picture of just the kids for the card.

And we finally booked our next trip. We will be going just after New Years. Are we going to overlap with you Meriweather?

[MickeyMamma]

I am so sorry to hear everybody is getting sick and injured. I hope some fast healing happens!

Kimba - Sorry to hear about your toe. I have only broken my little toe before (okay about 6 times before) - at least with that one, you just tape it to the one next to it and go. I cannot imagine breaking my big toe. OUCH!! I hope it is feeling better. Do you have it taped up at least for some support?

[Meriweather]

I'll be there from the 8-20. You?

[MickeyMamma]

We will just miss you. We leave on the 4th or 5th. :(

Maybe we will catch you another time.
